  Prokaryotic Cells Explained for NEET | Easy Biology Notes Labeled diagram of a prokaryotic cell showing nucleoid, plasmids, cell wall, and mesosome structure for NEET revision. - Dr.Sanjaykumar Pawar  1. Prokaryotes have a cell wall surrounding the cell membrane except in Mycoplasma. Most prokaryotic cells (bacteria) have a cell wall outside the plasma membrane. The cell wall gives shape and protection . Exception: does not have a cell wall. NEET Point: Mycoplasma is the smallest living cell and lacks a cell wall. 2. The semi-fluid matrix filling the cell is the cytoplasm. The inside of the cell contains a jelly-like substance called cytoplasm . It contains enzymes, nutrients, ribosomes, and other materials. Many metabolic activities occur here. 3. There is no well-defined nucleus. Prokaryotic cells do not have a true nucleus. Their genetic material is not enclosed inside a nuclear membrane. NEET Point: Prokaryotes have a nucleoid , not a true nucle...
