Prokaryotes, such as bacteria in our microbiome, play a crucial role in digestion by breaking down complex carbohydrates and synthesizing essential vitamins like B12 and K. Additionally, they help protect against harmful pathogens by competing for resources and creating an environment that supports beneficial microbial communities, thereby enhancing our immune response.
Some eukaryotic or prokaryotes live and function together in colonies.
Some parasites are prokaryotic (bacteria), and some are eukaryotic (helminths, protozoans...)
There are two types - Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are the bacteria and Eukaryotes are the cells.
Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes that live in most habitats on Earth, including soil, water, and even extreme environments like hot springs and deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Their adaptability and ability to thrive in diverse conditions contribute to their widespread distribution in nature.
Prokaryotes vary in their oxygen requirements, with some being strict aerobes requiring oxygen, some being anaerobes that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen, and some being facultative anaerobes that can switch between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. This affects the types of environments they can live in, such as aerobic prokaryotes thriving in oxygen-rich environments like open air or ocean surfaces, while anaerobic prokaryotes can be found in environments like deep soils, deep-sea vents, or the human gut, where oxygen levels are low or absent.
Some eukaryotic or prokaryotes live and function together in colonies.
Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotes. However, some animal cells may be prokaryotes, like red blood cells. RBC do not have nucleus. They are considered prokaryotes, so they do not live long.
The presence of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, such as the mitochondria and the Golgi apparatus, places the paramecium within the domain Eukarya. Eukaryotes have cells with these membrane-bound organelles, which distinguishes them from prokaryotes.
Prokaryotes that are found in environments that are extreme are classified in the Archaebacteria kingdom. The kingdom consists of single-celled microorganisms.

organisms in the archaea kingdom Prokaryotes
All prokaryotes are single celled organisms that can live independently.
Prokaryotes are single celled organism that have no defined nucleus so it can live in it's own
Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms. They are the tiniest forms of life that have the ability to live independently.
There are two types - Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are the bacteria and Eukaryotes are the cells.
Prokaryotes under the branch Archae typically live in extreme environments meaning hot or salty environment.
