Well, the main one would probably be electron microscopes, as they have allowed people to see that prokaryotic cells have no nuclear membrane or membrane bound organelles. Some others are the light microscope, chemical analysis, genetic sequencing, and amino acid sequencing.

Technological advances such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), metagenomics, and bioinformatics have greatly enhanced our understanding of prokaryotic organisms. NGS allows for rapid and cost-effective sequencing of microbial genomes. Metagenomics enables the study of microbial communities in their natural environments. Bioinformatics tools help analyze and interpret the vast amount of data generated from these techniques.
Single-celled organisms that do not have organized nuclei are called prokaryotes. These organisms are simple in structure and lack a membrane-bound nucleus. Examples of prokaryotes include bacteria and archaea.
The domain Bacteria contains organisms that are prokaryotes. These organisms lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryotes
No, bees are not prokaryotes. Bees are multicellular eukaryotic organisms that belong to the kingdom Animalia. Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that lack a distinct nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
No, prokaryotes are typically small, single-celled organisms. Most prokaryotes do not have specialized organelles or a true nucleus. Multicellularity is a characteristic more commonly associated with eukaryotes.
