A cell is identified as a prokaryote if it lacks a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles, containing its genetic material in a single circular DNA molecule located in a region called the nucleoid. Prokaryotic cells are typically smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells, often having a rigid cell wall and reproducing asexually through binary fission. Additionally, they may possess ribosomes for protein synthesis, but these ribosomes are smaller than those found in eukaryotic cells. Examples of prokaryotes include bacteria and archaea.
