Summary Introduction
To review:
The function and structural features of specialized prokaryotic cell structures that include cell capsule, cell wall, and flagellum.
Introduction:
The prokaryotic cells are one of the cell types that are unicellular and do not contain the membrane-enclosed nucleus. They do not comprise membrane-bound organelles such as the mitochondria and peroxisomes. They divide asexually.
