prótkjörnungum
Protkjörnungum is the Icelandic term for prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are a group of organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. This fundamental difference in cellular structure distinguishes them from eukaryotes, which possess a nucleus containing their genetic material and specialized compartments for various cellular functions. Prokaryotes are considered to be the earliest forms of life on Earth, with fossil evidence dating back billions of years.
The two major domains of prokaryotic life are Bacteria and Archaea. While both share the characteristic absence
Prokaryotic cells are typically much smaller and simpler in structure than eukaryotic cells. Their genetic material,
