Question

do prokaryotes have cytoplasm?

Answer 1

Yes, prokaryotes have cytoplasm. In prokaryotic cells, which include bacteria and archaea, the cytoplasm is the gel-like substance that fills the cell and contains various enzymes, nutrients, and other molecules necessary for cellular processes. Unlike eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles, but they do have ribosomes (which are not membrane-bound) within their cytoplasm that are essential for protein synthesis. The cytoplasm of prokaryotes is enclosed by the cell membrane, and in many cases, there is also a rigid cell wall surrounding the membrane.
