What is a prokaryotic cell?

A prokaryotic cell is a type of cell that lacks a true nucleus and other complex organelles. Its genetic material is located in the nucleoid region, which is simply an area within the cell that contains all the genetic material of the cell. Prokaryotic cells are simpler in structure and are generally smaller in size than eukaryotic cells. They are found in single-cell organisms such as bacteria and archaea. Prokaryotic cells are known for their adaptability to different environments and their ability to quickly reproduce, which is why they are found in many different habitats.
