<P> In the prokaryotes , all the intracellular water - soluble components ( proteins , DNA and metabolites ) are located together in the cytoplasm enclosed by the cell membrane , rather than in separate cellular compartments . Bacteria , however , do possess protein - based bacterial microcompartments , which are thought to act as primitive organelles enclosed in protein shells . Some prokaryotes , such as cyanobacteria may form large colonies . Others , such as myxobacteria , have multicellular stages in their life cycles . </P>
