Manage episode 468142814 series 3139280
In this episode, weāll explore the distinct characteristics of prokaryotic cells and what sets them apart from more complex cell types. Weāll discuss the presence of plasmidsāsmall DNA rings that enable genetic information exchange. Weāll examine how prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts, relying on alternative methods for respiration and photosynthesis. Finally, weāll consider their genetic material, which exists as a single DNA loop in the cytoplasm instead of a nucleus, highlighting how their structural simplicity contributes to their unique functional capabilities.
