What are the characteristics of prokaryotes?

Prokaryotes lack an organized nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of the cell called the nucleoid.
The cell wall of a prokaryote acts as an extra layer of protection, helps maintain cell shape, and prevents dehydration.
