Yes, prokaryotic cells can exchange gases, primarily through the process of diffusion. Oxygen and carbon dioxide can pass freely across their cell membranes due to their small size and the permeability of the lipid bilayer. In aquatic environments, some prokaryotes may also utilize specialized structures, such as gas vesicles, to regulate buoyancy and facilitate gas exchange. Overall, gas exchange is essential for their metabolic processes.
yes
The first cells on earth were likely prokaryotic. This is because the prokaryotic cells are not complex like eukaryotic cells.
The three phases of transferring gases between the environment and the cells are ventilation (breathing air in and out of the lungs), gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between the lungs and blood), and circulation (transporting oxygen to the tissues and removing carbon dioxide).
The exchange of gases between the blood and the body cells is known as internal respiration. This process involves the uptake of oxygen by the cells and the release of carbon dioxide into the bloodstream to be transported to the lungs for elimination.
No, cells can be either prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Examples of prokaryotic cells include bacteria, while examples of eukaryotic cells include plant and animal cells.
yes
Yes, pili are found in prokaryotic cells. They are hair-like structures that extend from the cell surface and are involved in processes such as adhesion, motility, and genetic exchange.

Prokaryotic cells do not have a nuclear membrane.
No. The exchange of gases between the blood and tissue cells is called internal respiration. External respiration refers to the exchange of gases between the blood and the air inside of the alveoli of the lungs.
