Although generally not visible to the naked eye, organisms composed of prokaryotic cells still dominate the earth. Their collective mass is at least 10 times greater than the mass of all eukaryotes combined. Organisms composed of prokaryotic cells are classified into 2 main groups: archaea and bacteria. Archaea most closely resemble the first primitive cells on our planet.
They are simpler and smaller than eukaryotic cells, and lack membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus. Prokaryotes include two of the domains of life, bacteria and archaea. The DNA of a prokaryotic cell consists of a single chromosome that is in direct contact with the cytoplasm. Some eukaryotic cells (plant cells and fungal cells) also have a cell wall. 2  Inside the cell is the cytoplasmic region that contains the genome (DNA), ribosomes and various sorts of inclusions. 3  The genetic material is freely found in the cytoplasm.
