Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prokaryotic microbes, such as bacteria, have internal structures that lack membranes, distinguishing them from eukaryotic cells that have membrane-bound organelles. They also have a plasma cell membrane that encloses the cell, providing a barrier between the cell's interior and its environment. Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus; their genetic material is not enclosed in a membrane-bound nucleus. A protein coat is characteristic of viruses, not prokaryotic cells.
