Prokaryotes
====

Paramecium Prokaryotic cells got their name from the Greek meaning "before nucleus", because these organisms lack a necleus. That is the major difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Other differences include: ** Prokaryotes consist of these organelles **
 * insteading a having chromosomes, they have one, ring shaped strand of genetic information called a plasmid.
 * Eukaryotes divide through the process of mitosis, while prokaryotes divide through binary fission.

Flagella - helps the cell move around Cell Wall - gives the cell protection and shape Cell Membrane - assists in regulation of substances in and out of the cell Nucleoid - area where the plasmid can be found **C**apsule- 1. gives the cell added protection when consumed by other organisms 2. helps the cell maintain its moisture 3. it also helps the cell stick to surfaces and nutrients. Ribosomes- in charge of protein production
