They are primarily unicellular, but in rare cases they are multicellular, e.g. , myxobacteria have multicellular stages in their life.

Do prokaryotes have the capability to form multicellular structures?

No, prokaryotes do not have the capability to form multicellular structures.


Which sequence correctly represents the evolution of life on earth?

Prokaryotes -> Cyanobacteria -> Eukaryotes -> Multicellular organisms Prokaryotes -> Multicellular organisms -> Eukaryotes -> Cyanobacteria Cyanobacteria -> Prokaryotes -> Eukaryotes -> Multicellular organisms The correct sequence is option 1: Prokaryotes -> Cyanobacteria -> Eukaryotes -> Multicellular organisms. These groups represent a general order of the evolution of life on Earth, starting with simple prokaryotic organisms and culminating in more complex multicellular organisms.


Are most multicellular organisms prokaryotes?

No, most multicellular organisms are eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotes include plants, animals, fungi, and protists.


Are prokaryotes unicellular?

Not all prokaryotes are unicellular. A few prokaryotes such as myxobacteria have multicellular stages in their life cycles.


What is the difference between prokaryotesw and eukaryotes?

Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotes are typically more complex and can be single-celled or multicellular, while prokaryotes are only single-celled.

What are single-celled organisims that do not have a membrane called..?

(For the most part) Prokaryotes. However, some (but few) are multicellular.

No, most multicellular organisms are eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotes have a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotes include plants, animals, fungi, and protists.


Are bees prokaryotes?

No, bees are not prokaryotes. Bees are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that belong to the kingdom Animalia. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a distinct nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.


Are prokaryotes unicellular?

Not all prokaryotes are unicellular. A few prokaryotes such as myxobacteria have multicellular stages in their life cycles.


Is used as evidence for the idea that multicellular organisms evolved from prokaryotes?

Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA.


Is it true that many prokaryotes are large and multicellular organisms?

No, prokaryotes are typically small, single-celled organisms. Most prokaryotes do not have specialized organelles or a true nucleus. Multicellularity is a characteristic more commonly associated with eukaryotes.

What do eukaryotes have but prokaryotes don't?

Eukaryotes have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, which prokaryotes lack. Eukaryotes also have linear chromosomes, while prokaryotes have circular chromosomes. Additionally, eukaryotes often have multicellular organization, which is less common in prokaryotes.


Prokaryotes are either single celled or made up of many cells?

Prokaryotes are typically single-celled organisms, although there are some multicellular prokaryotes like cyanobacteria. Multicellularity in prokaryotes is usually achieved through cells sticking together, as they lack specialized structures like tissues and organs.


Could a prokaryote have tissues organs and organ systems?

No, prokaryotes do not have tissues, organs, or organ systems. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack the specialized structures found in complex multicellular organisms like plants and animals. Instead, prokaryotes have a simple cell structure without compartmentalization.
