	Welcome to the Miniature World of the Prokaryotes
		Prokaryotes are the original inhabitants of this planet, the first successful living organisms may have looked very like some of today's Archaea.
		Prokaryotes are single celled organisms that do not have a nucleus, mitochondria or any other membrane bound organelles.

	Prokaryote Summary
		Prokaryote is a kingdom, or division, in the classification scheme devised for all life on Earth.
		Prokaryotes are cells or organisms that lack a nuclear membrane and membrane bound organelles.
		Prokaryotic cells are characteristic of a metabolically diverse assortment of bacterial organisms grouped together in the kingdom Monera.

	Prokaryote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prokaryotes also were previously considered to lack cytoskeletons and do lack membrane-bound cell compartments such as vacuoles, endoplasmic reticula, mitochondria and chloroplasts.
		Prokaryotes have a single circular (only exceptionally linear, as in Borrelia burgdorferi or the Streptomyces) chromosome, contained within a region called nucleoid, rather than in a membrane-bound nucleus, but may also have various small circular pieces of DNA called plasmids spread throughout the cell.
		The prokaryotes are different to the eukaryote other than in the membrane bound organelles in that the DNA in the eukaryote is found in the nucleus while in the prokaryote there is only a single loop of DNA.

		A major distinction between prokaryotes and eukaryotes (meaning true kernel, also spelled "eucaryotes") is that eukaryotes have "true" nuclei containing their DNA, whereas the genetic material in prokaryotes is not membrane-bound.
		Prokaryotes also were previously considered to lack cytoskeletons and do lack membrane-bound cell compartments such as vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum/endoplasmic reticula, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.
		Prokaryote genes are also expressed in groups, known as operons, instead of individually, as in eukaryotes.

	Prokaryote
		Prokaryotes are mostly unicellular organisms without a nucleus, in contrast to eukaryotes, organisms that have cell nuclei and may be variously unicellular or multicellular.
		Prokaryotes are capable of inhabiting almost every place on the earth, from the deep ocean, to the edges of hot springs, to just about every surface of the human body.
		It is generally accepted that the first living cells were some form of prokaryote, and they are known as fossils from over 3.5 billion years ago.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| A genomic timescale of prokaryote evolution: insights into the origin of methanogenesis, ...
		The timescale of prokaryote evolution has been difficult to reconstruct because of a limited fossil record and complexities associated with molecular clocks and deep divergences.
		Moreover the increasing number of prokaryotic genomes available has facilitated the detection of HGT through more accurate detection of orthology, paralogy, and monophyletic groups, and the concatenation of gene and protein sequences has helped increase the confidence of nodes and decrease the variance of time estimates [14,16,18,19].
		Other studies that have analyzed prokaryote genome sequence data for phylogeny have found a similar high proportion of proteins in the "information storage and processes" functional category, presumably because HGT is more difficult with such genes that are vital for the survival of the cell [3,18,33,34].

	What Is Prokaryote?
		Prokaryotes are mostly unicellular organisms without a nucleus, in contrast to eukaryotes, organisms that have cell nuclei and may be variously unicellular or multicellular.
		Prokaryotes are the largest group of organisms, mostly due to the vast array of bacteria which comprise the bulk of the prokaryote classification.
		Prokaryotes are also ecologically important as photosynthetic or chemosynthetic producers, as decomposers, and as participants in the global cycling of nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur.

		Bacteria are the best known and most studied form of prokaryotic organisms, although the recent discovery of a second group of prokaryotes, called archaea, has provided evidence of a third cellular domain of life and new insights into the origin of life itself.
		Prokaryotes are distinguished from eukaryote on the basis of nuclear organization, specifically their lack of a nuclear membrane.
		Prokaryotic cells have three architectural regions: appendages called flagella and pili--proteins attached to the cell surface; a cell envelope consisting of a capsule, a cell wall, and a plasma membrane; and a cytoplasmic region that contains the cell genome (DNA) and ribosome and various sorts of inclusions.

		In contrast to prokaryotes, in eukaryotes the chromosomes are made of distinct lengths of DNA and are stored within a nuclear membrane.
		Because prokaryotes are simpler, lacking membrane-bound organelles, they are also much smaller (1 to 10 micrometers) than eukaryotes, which range from 10 to 100 micrometers in size.
