Fill in the following table with brief descriptions of the characteristics of prokaryotic cells.
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To complete: The table with brief descriptions of the characteristics of prokaryotic cells.
Introduction: Cells are the smallest structural, functional, and biulogical units of all living organisms. They are modified in different ways to carry out various functions. They are divided into two types, namely prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms.
Explanation of Solution
Characteristics of the prokaryotic cells are mentioned in the table given below:
