why have procaryotic organisms been so successful in surviving in different environments?

Answer 1

Possibly because of their higher tendency to mutate, therefore to adapt to different environments. Their DNA lacks a protective nuclear membrane and is therefore more susceptible to alteration.

Their simplicity that allows greater durability in extreme environments.

Their ability to metabolize a far greater variety of chemical food sources than eucaryotes.

Answer 2

Prokaryotes are more successful because of two main reasons: time (they've been around forever) and population genetics (they can easily change their genetic structure). If prokaryotes were the first living organisms on this planet, then they have had nearly 3 billion years to move to places on this earth, including those that decided to co-exists with higher-order species of other kingdoms. On top of that, their ability to replicate easily and quickly can produce stunning variations in genetics within a population - when a selection pressure comes along, changing the environment, some of the species will continue. It's just a matter of numbers.

Answer 3

Prokaryotes are more successful becoz they are easily acclamatize in their surroundings. they are adapted to their environment.
and the main things " the species which are surviving are selected by nature "
we cant select the nature but nature selected us thats why we are surviving.

just think if the nature suddenly increase its tempature to 200 degree celcius or dropped down the temparature to -1000 degree celcius. what do u think even human canot survive at this condition.
