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.
All prokaryotic cells contain large quantities of genetic material in the form of DNA and RNA. Because prokaryotic cells, by definition, do not have a nucleus, the single large circular strand of DNA containing most of the genes needed for cell growth, survival, and reproduction is found in the cytoplasm.rokaryotes known as  gram-negative bacteria , for example, often have two plasma membranes with a space between them known as the periplasm. As in all cells, the plasma membrane in prokaryotic cells is responsible for controlling what gets into and out of the cell.
