One of a prokaryotic cell's characteristics is that it has no nucleus. So you could say that it is a prokaryotic cell because it has no nucleus.

Think of it like this in a corny way: Pro = No. Eu= do Sorry, I can't think of any synonym to "yes" that rhymes with "eu." But, if you memorize Pro = No, than you'll have to remember that the eu- cell DOES have an internal membrane.
