What is a example of a prokaryote?

A single-celled organism that lacks membrane-bound organelles and has a nucleus not bound by a membrane is called a prokaryote. An example of a prokaryote would be the bacteria called Escherichia coli.


A cells boundary is called the what?

In animal cells, the plasma membrane forms the outer boundary of the cell. In fungi and plant cells, a cell wall exists outside the plasma membrane. Gram-positive bacteria have outer cell walls, while Gram-negative bacteria possess inner and outer plasma membranes.


Do bacteria cells have a cytoskeleton?

Yes bacteria do have cytoplasm but as bacteria is a prokaryotic it does not have membrane bound cytoplasmic organalles and also not have distinct nucleus, as the eukaryotic cell posses


Do plant cell's animal cell's and bacterial cell's all have a plasma membrane?

Yes, both eukaryotes and bacteria have a cell (also called plasma) membrane.


Do bacteria have plastids?

Some bacteria have chloroplasts. For example, cyanobacteria. They are photosynthetic bacteria No, bacteria do not have chloroplasts because they are prokaryotic which means they can't have membrane bound organelles other than ribosomes.. Chloroplasts are membrane bound organelles. As for the cyanobacteria, they are indeed photosynthetic, but they still don't have chloroplasts. It is somewhat misleading. They were once called blue-green algae (they even fooled earlier scientists) but are now considered bacteria because they lack a membrane bound nucleus and chloroplasts.

What are eukayotic bacteria called?

There are no eukaryote bacteria! All bacteria are prokaryote; not nucleus and no membrane bound organelles.


What are bacteria called?

Bacteria are called prokaryotes, which are single-celled microorganisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.


What is the outer most border in a bacteria cell called?

The outermost border in a bacteria cell is called membrane. This is also commonly referred to as the cell wall.


Are BACTERIA AN EXAMPLE OF PROKARYOTE?

Yes. Since they do not have a membrane bound nucleus they are called prokaryotes.

The primary difference between bacteria and all higher organisms such as protozoa is bacteria do not have a membrane-bound?

One of the major and the most visible differences between prokaryotes, i.e., bacteria, and eukaryotes, i.e., everything else, is the presence of a membrane bound nucleus containing the DNA. Eukaryotes have other membrane bound organelles such as chloroplasts and mitochondria and prokaryoutes do not. However, some bacteria have structures called microcompartments that are enclosed by a different type of membrane.


What do bacteria have instead of a nucleus?

By saying nucleus, we mean that the DNA is contained in a membrane structure, that we call the nuclear membrane. However in prokaryotes (bacteria are examples!) the nucleus is not contained in a membrane structure. On the contrary, the DNA is rather suspended inside the cytoplasm itself in a compact form and is called a nucleoid.


Example of monerans?

Monera is a kingdom of organisms without membrane with two division called Archaea and Bacteria. The best example of monerans are spirilla and coccie bacteria.

What are organisms such ad bacteria and fungi that are decomposers called?

Bacteria are single celled prokaryotes that have their DNA loose in the cytosol and no membrane bound organelles. Fungi are eukaryotes with a membrane bound nucleus containing DNA and many membrane bound organelles. Some fungi are single celled, but most are multicelled and heterotrophic.

Bacteria belong to a group called prokaryotes which have no membrane bound genetic material (a nucleus).
