Do prokaryotes have boundaries like eukaryotes?

Prokaryotes have cell boundaries like eukaryotes. It has a cell membrane and a cell wall. There are two types of cell walls: Gram + or Gram-. The exterior of the cell usually has glycocalyx, flagellum, fimbriae, and pili. The glycocalyx can be sticky (a capsule) or loose (a slime layer). The flagellum look like whips and can help move the cell. The fimbriae look like short hairs and allow the cell to attach. The pili are longer than the fimbriae and shorter than the flagella. These allow the transfer of DNA from the cell to another cell.
