Given that prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles why do cyanobacteria which are prokaryotes possess membrane-bound thylakoids?
Cyanobacteria were formerly known as blue-green algae which are photosynthetic. Thylakoids in the cyanobacteria are not separate organelles as we see in eukaryotic cell (eg:chloroplast). In fact the chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells were originated in a endosymbiotic event where cyanobacteria was taken up by the cell. Please read about enodsymbiosis.
