prokaryote

Any cellular organism that lacks a distinct nucleus. Organisms classified in the domains Bacteria (including blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria) and Archaea are prokaryotes; all other organisms are eukaryotes and are placed in the domain Eukarya. Prokaryotic cells lack a nuclear membrane and most of the components of eukaryotic cells. The cytoplasm includes ribosomes that carry out protein synthesis and a double-stranded DNA chromosome, usually circular. Many prokaryotes also contain additional circular DNA molecules called plasmids. The flagella are distinct from those of eukaryotes in design and movement.

prokaryote [prō′kar·ē‚ōt]

(cell and molecular biology)

A primitive nucleus, where the deoxyribonucleic acid-containing region lacks a limiting membrane.

Any cell containing such a nucleus, such as the bacteria and the blue-green algae.
