Prokaryotes can thrive in a wide range of environments, including extreme conditions where many other organisms cannot survive. They inhabit diverse settings such as soil, water, and the human body, as well as extreme environments like hot springs, deep-sea vents, and polar ice. Their adaptability allows them to utilize various energy sources and nutrients, making them essential for ecosystems and nutrient cycling.
Prokaryotes under the branch Archae typically live in extreme environments meaning hot or salty environment.
Some eukaryotic or prokaryotes live and function together in colonies.
yes prokaryotes have prokaryotes
Flagella are specialized structures that allow prokaryotes to move quickly through their environment. These long, whip-like appendages rotate to propel the prokaryotic cell forward. Additionally, some prokaryotes may utilize pili or fimbriae to facilitate movement by attaching to surfaces and pulling the cell along.
Prokaryotes that are found in environments that are extreme are classified in the Archaebacteria kingdom. The kingdom consists of single-celled microorganisms.
Becauase they need to adapt to the new environment to enter the bodies
Some parasites are prokaryotic (bacteria), and some are eukaryotic (helminths, protozoans...)
organisms in the archaea kingdom Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes have been around for 2 billion more years than eukaryotes so have a much wider diversity. Some prokaryotes can live in extreme environments, so there is a lot to learn from them. Plus the wide range of prokaryotes have not been cataloged while the majority of eukaryotic species have likely been discovered.
All prokaryotes are single celled organisms that can live independently.
Prokaryotes are single celled organism that have no defined nucleus so it can live in it's own
Prokaryotes, such as bacteria in our microbiome, play a crucial role in digestion by breaking down complex carbohydrates and synthesizing essential vitamins like B12 and K. Additionally, they help protect against harmful pathogens by competing for resources and creating an environment that supports beneficial microbial communities, thereby enhancing our immune response.
