Question

What are the characteristics of prokaryotes?

1.A prokaryote lacks a well-defined nucleus.
2.A prokaryote cannot perform basic life functions.
3.A prokaryote lacks cell organelles.
4.A prokaryote is larger than a eukaryote.

Answer 1

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.

hope this helps....

Answer 2

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
