Prokaryotes are a diverse group that show some similarities in their basic structures but are also very distinct. They are generally single celled, range in size from ~0.1 to 10 μm, and unlike eukaryotes, their nucleic acid is free in the cytoplasm (Table 1.3). They can be considered as two general groups, the archaea and eubacteria.
