The most complex prokaryote is Cynatobacteria. They have cytoplasmic membranes that serve as sites of photosynthesis. They accomplish this by splitting the water molecules which releases molecules.
Not all are unicellular
A unicellular prokaryote lacks a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while a unicellular eukaryote has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes are generally smaller and simpler in structure compared to eukaryotes, which are more complex and larger in size.
A unicellular microorganism that lacks a nucleus is a prokaryote. Examples include bacteria and archaea.
A prokaryote is a unicellular organism that does not have a nucleus.
Prokaryotes lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes have both a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes are usually unicellular and simpler in structure, while eukaryotes can be unicellular or multicellular and have more complex cellular organization.
No, a mealworm is not a prokaryote; it is a eukaryote. Mealworms are the larval stage of the darkling beetle (Tenebrio molitor), which belongs to the animal kingdom. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, are unicellular organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, whereas eukaryotes have a defined nucleus and complex cellular structures.
Phylum Apicomplexa consists of unicellular organisms. These protozoans are characterized by having an apical complex structure that helps them penetrate host cells.
No, it is not. E. coli is a unicellular prokaryote. It is a rod-shaped bacterium.
prokaryote
A single-celled organism that is a prokaryote is a bacterium. Bacteria are unicellular and lack a true nucleus, which classifies them as prokaryotes.
No, an insect is not a prokaryote. Insects are multicellular eukaryotic organisms, while prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles like bacteria.
Stylonychia is a eukaryote. It is a genus of ciliated protozoa belonging to the group of unicellular organisms known as ciliates. These organisms have a complex cellular structure with a defined nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, characteristic of eukaryotic cells.
