Prokaryote cell, artwork C016 / 6263
Prokaryote cell. Computer artwork showing the internal structure of a typical prokaryotic cell. Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus (karyon) - whereas eukaryotes are those whose cells do have a nucleus. Most prokaryotes are unicellular organisms, such as the bacteria and archaea, whereas the eukaryotes make up most of the rest of life on Earth

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Prokaryote Cell" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate internal structure of a typical prokaryotic cell. Created by the talented artist Gunilla Elam, this computer-generated illustration showcases the fascinating world of organisms whose cells lack a membrane-bound nucleus. Against a clean white background, we are presented with an anatomically detailed portrayal of this unicellular marvel. The artwork highlights essential components such as the capsule, cell wall, cytoplasm, and ribosomes that play crucial roles in the functioning of prokaryotes. The absence of a nucleus distinguishes these organisms from their eukaryotic counterparts. Through meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy, Elam's work allows us to appreciate the complexity hidden within these microscopic entities. We can observe flagella gracefully extending from the cell body, enabling locomotion for certain prokaryotes. Additionally, pilli structures are depicted intricately on the surface—a testament to their role in cellular attachment and genetic exchange. This awe-inspiring image not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into microbiology and taxonomy. It reminds us that life on Earth encompasses diverse domains where prokaryotes dominate in numbers while eukaryotes reign supreme in complexity. Gunilla Elam's "Prokaryote Cell" print is more than just art; it represents our continuous quest for knowledge about fundamental biological structures that shape our understanding of life itself.
