Bacteria are prokaryotes

Pro – beforeKaryon – nucleusThe simplest forms of life are

prokaryotes without a nucleus.Earth’s first cells were

prokaryotes.

Lots of Them!

Prokaryotes are Earth’s most abundant life forms.

They can survive in many environments.

They can get energy from many different sources.

Prokaryote Review

Mostly single-celledNo nucleus or organellesCircular chromosomesCell wallsReproduce mostly asexuallyAnaerobic or aerobicHeterotrophic or autotrophic

ArchaebacteriaCan survive without oxygen

EubacteriaParasitic heterotrophs (Streptococcus)Saprophages

Sapro = death Phage = eat

Include the most ancient prokaryotes
