The prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bound and defined nucleus. Their genetic material is localised in the cytoplasm as the nucleoid.
The cells are surrounded by the cell envelope that is made up of glycocalyx, cell wall and plasma membrane.
The cytoplasm of the prokaryotic cells contains 70S ribosomes, nucleoid, plasmids, inclusion bodies etc.
Motile prokaryotic cells have cell appendages in the form of flagella.
Apart from the flagella, these cells can have fimbriae to provide attachment to the surface and conjugation pili to facilitate the exchange of genetic material.
There is no cellular compartmentalization in the form of cell organelles.
