Prokaryotes (as their name suggests) refer to cells which do not have a true membrane-bound nucleus. This type of cell includes most bacteria. As E. coli belongs to this category [its genetic material which includes genomic DNA (in the form of single-stranded DNA) and plasmid DNA (small circular DNA molecules in the cytoplasm of the cell) for some strains of E. coli e.g. DH5a] is sequestered in the cytoplasm of the cell in a region known as the nucleoid (rather than a true membrane bound nucleus), we may thus classify E. coli to be a prokaryotic cell.

What is an example of prokaryotic cell?
bacteria - salmonella - E. coli
What is the best example of a prokaryotic cell?
There is no "best" example because any one prokaryotic cell is equally prokaryotic as the next. The most common example would probably be E. coli.
What are examples of a prokaryote cell?
Prokaryotic cells are characterized by the absence of a separate, membrane-bound nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, and by DNA that is loosely arranged: not organized into chromosomes. Prokaryotic cells are bacterial cells (or cyanobacteria cells). These include; e. coli, staph. aureus, micrococcus luteus.
Examples of prokaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and are considered to be the simplest of all cell forms. Some examples include the E. coli, salmonella and the bacillus.
Does e-coli have a cell membrane?
Yes e-coli does have a cell membrane because all cells have a membrane
Does EColi have a prokaryotic cell?
E coli is a bacterium.So it is a prokaryote.
What is an example of prokaryotic cell?
bacteria - salmonella - E. coli
Is E. coli a plant or an animal cell?
E.coli is a prokaryotic cell that lives in the colon of human being.
Is e coli prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
E coli is a type of bacteria that is present in the human gut and can cause food poisoning. E coli is prokaryotic and not eukaryotic.
What is the best example of a prokaryotic cell?
There is no "best" example because any one prokaryotic cell is equally prokaryotic as the next. The most common example would probably be E. coli.
Is E. coli a prokaryote or a eukaryote?
E.coli is a prokaryotic organism. It is a bacteria to be precise.
Is E coli a cell?
No. E-Coli is a bacterium.

Yes e-coli does have a cell membrane because all cells have a membrane
Is E. coli a eukaryote cell?
No, it is not. E. coli is a unicellular prokaryote. It is a rod-shaped bacterium.
How many cells does escherichia coli have?
One. Some e coli also contain a plasmid which is extrachromosomal DNA
