Prokaryotic cells are the most primitive and lack a defined nucleus, like bacteria and cyanobacteria.

Prokaryotes are found in:

  1. Prokaryotes, which include bacteria and archaea, can be found almost anywhere — in ecosystems, on household surfaces, and even inside our bodies.
  2. Some live in environments where other organisms would perish, such as scorching vents on the ocean floor.
  3. Bacteria and Archaea, the two prokaryotic kingdoms, evolved together early in life's evolution.
  4. Bacteria can be harmful pathogens or beneficial photosynthesizes and symbionts.
  5. Archaea are also diverse, but none are harmful, and many of them live in harsh environments.
