Prokaryotes are smaller, which means they have a higher surface - area - to - volume ratio, allowing for more efficient nutrient uptake and waste removal. Their lack of organelles simplifies their cellular structure and processes. Faster metabolisms mean they can convert nutrients into energy and biomass more quickly. Also, they can synthesize DNA relatively fast, which is crucial for cell division.
