In the term "prokaryotic," the prefix "pro-" comes from the Greek word "pro," meaning "before" or "primitive." It indicates that prokaryotic cells are simpler and more ancient in structure compared to eukaryotic cells, which have a defined nucleus and organelles. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria and archaea, are characterized by their lack of a membrane-bound nucleus and generally smaller size.
What else can I help you with?
Are all living things eukaryoyic?
No-Archbaecteria and Eubacteria are prokaryotic. Not sure if others are pro.
Does a prokaryotic cell have a plasma membrane?
The prokaryotic cells have a plasma membrane. They do not have a membrane around their nuclear material. Pro- means before. Karyo- means "nut" or nucleus.
How do eukaryotic compare in size to prokaryotes?
Prokarotes are single-celledbacterium and eukaryotes are plants, animals, and fungi. So eukaryotes are a whole lot larger than prokaryotes.
The term prokaryotic means what-literally?
The term "prokaryotic" literally means "before the nucleus." It is derived from the Greek words "pro," meaning "before," and "karyon," meaning "nut or nucleus." Prokaryotic organisms, such as bacteria, lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, distinguishing them from eukaryotic cells, which have a defined nucleus.
What structure would you look for to determine if a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Main difference is with nucleus.If there is a nucleus it is eukariyotic.
How do you pronounce prokaryotic?
Pro-care-ee-autick
Was the first cell on earth pro or eukariotic?
prokaryotic.
Are all living things eukaryoyic?
No-Archbaecteria and Eubacteria are prokaryotic. Not sure if others are pro.
What is the main difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
Prokaryotic cells contain no nucleus... where as eukaryotic are nucleus containing cells... I rememeber it by saying PRO- means before... its BEFORE they have a nucleus
What is the meaning of the word parts pro and karyo and how can these word meaning help you understand what a prokaryotic cell is?
"Pro" means before or primitive and "karyo" refers to nucleus. Therefore, a prokaryotic cell is a cell that lacks a defined nucleus. Understanding these word parts can help you recognize that prokaryotic cells are simpler, more primitive cells without a true nucleus, in contrast to eukaryotic cells which have a nucleus.
What is a prokayote cell?
a prokaryotic cell is a cell that has no nulcleus (as pro means before and karyon mean nucleus), it has no membrane bound organelles and is simple in structure and has 70s ribosomal units
What is does prokaryotic mean?
There is no separate compartment for genetic maxial. :)
Does a prokaryotic cell have a plasma membrane?
The prokaryotic cells have a plasma membrane. They do not have a membrane around their nuclear material. Pro- means before. Karyo- means "nut" or nucleus.

What is the meaning of the word parts pro-kayortic?
There seems to be a misspelling in the word parts "pro-kayortic." It's possible that it was meant to be "prokaryotic," which refers to cells that do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles. These are typically found in bacteria.
