Why are bacteria classified as prokaryotic cells?

All Prokaryotes lack a nucleus and any other membrane bound organelles...bacteria are prime examples...


To BJ:


it's not because they're single celled organisms... there are so many varieties of unicellular eukaryotes...infact they have their own biological kingdom: protoctista...


prokaryotic kingdoms: monera (includes bacteria)


eukaryotic kingdoms: fungi, protoctista, animalia, plantae

Why are bacteria classified as prokaryotic cells?
I think eukaryotic cells are either plant or animal cells, and bacteria are classified under prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells have fewer organelles than Eukaryotes.
Reply:prokaryotic cells dont have a membrane bound nuclei unlike eukaryotic cells like plants and animals
Reply:cuz they are single-celled organisms. eukaryotic means they have more than one cell.
Reply:yes
Reply:prokariotes r single celled organisms so yes a bacteria is
Reply:Because they have no defined membrane bound organelles. These would include (but are not limited to) the nucleus, the mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. All of these structures (and this level of organization) is only present in eukaryotic cells.
