How Do Bacteria Obtain Nutrients
Prokaryotic photosynthetic organisms have infoldings of the plasma membrane for chlorophyll attachment and photosynthesis (Figure 1). It is here that organisms like cyanobacteria can carry out photosynthesis. Some prokaryotes can perform photosynthesis. This process occurs in the chloroplast.

How do prokaryotes make proteins?

In prokaryotes, protein synthesis, the process of making protein, occurs in the cytoplasm and is made of two steps: transcription and translation. … Translation occurs at the same time that transcription is happening in prokaryotes. Ribosomes attach to the mRNA and tell tRNA to go get the correct amino acids.
