What is the rod shaped cell with no nuclear membrane and having a capsule exterior to it's cell wall is a member of?

The rod-shaped cell with no nuclear membrane and a capsule exterior to its cell wall is likely a bacterium. Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, meaning they lack a true nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. The capsule surrounding the cell wall of certain bacteria provides protection and helps the bacteria evade the host immune system.

What are some characteristics of the prokaryote cell?

Prokaryotic cell differ from eukaryotic cell in that they lack a nucleus and membranous organelles. Now the main features inside a prokaryotic cell are: * cytoplasm * ribosomes * Plasmid * Nucleoid (circular DNA) And Features outside the prokaryotic cell are: * Capsule * Pili (hair like structures on surface of capsule * Flagellum ( tail like structure)
