By the way, I LOVE BIOLOGY! the characteristics of prokaryotes are: - Lack an organised nucleus and other membrane organelles - Found in a central part of the cell which is known as the Nucleoid - The cell wall of the prokaryotic cell acts as an extra layer of protection as it can help maintain dehydration and the cell shape
