Types of cells Remember
The hereditary material in bacteria is not enclosed inside a membrane. These tiny cells are called prokaryotes (from pro; ‘before’, and karyo; ‘nucleus’).
Cells can be divided into two categories by the organelles they contain. We call the simplest cells prokaryotic cells, because they do not have a nucleus. Nevertheless, it is important to remember that, although they are very small and simple, they have the same components as the cells in all other living things. In other words, in spite of being tiny, simple living things, they are made up of water, mineral salts, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids.
