Prokaryotic Cell Structure
Bookmark this page

Draw a picture of prokaryotic cell structure showing Ribosomes, Mesosome, Slime Capsule, Cell Wall, Flagellum, Cell Surface Membrane, Plasmid, and Naked Nucleic Acid. (8 Things).

State the function of

1.      Ribosomes

a.      Carries out protein synthesis

2.      Mesosome

a.      Site of respiration (formed by the intucking of the plasma membrane)

3.      Slime Capsule

a.      Physical barrier to predatory protazoa, white blood cells or bacteriophages

4.      Cell Wall

a.      Provides structure

5.      Flagellum

a.      Organelle of propulsion

6.      Cell Surface Membrane

a.      Barrier between cell and environment

b.      Regulates transport of substances

7.      Plasmid

a.      Loops carrying 10-30 genes enable production of antibiotics, or resistance to antibiotics.

8.      Naked Nucleic Acid

a.      Carries genetic material
