Both the plasma membrane and the cell wall encompass prokaryotic cells and hold in its contents. Why do prokaryotic
cells need both of these structures?

Like other cells, prokaryotic cells have a plasma membrane (see Figure below). It controls what enters and leaves the cell. It is also the site of many metabolic reactions. For example, cellular respiration and photosynthesis take place in the plasma membrane.

Most prokaryotes also have a cell wall. It lies just outside the plasma membrane. It gives strength and rigidity to the cell. Bacteria and Archaea differ in the makeup of their cell wall. The cell wall of Bacteria contains peptidoglycan, composed of sugars and amino acids. The cell wall of most Archaea lacks peptidoglycan.

Explanation:

because the asteroid belt is between the mars and jupiter orbits, it is around 2.2 to 3.2 astronomical units (au) from the sun – which is approximately 329,115,316 to 478,713,186 km. the average distance between objects is a massive 600,000 miles.
