prokaryotes

Prokaryotic cells, typically represented by bacterial cells, exhibit a range of sizes from 2-8 micrometers in length and 0.2-2 micrometers in diameter. They are primarily monomorphic but can have diverse shapes such as spiral, cocci, and bacilli, with some displaying less common forms like star-shaped or rectangular.
