Draw a picture of prokaryotic cell structure
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...
- Ribosomes - Carries out protein synthesis,
- Mesosome - Site of respiration (formed by the intucking of the plasma membrane),
- Slime Capsule - Physical barrier to predatory protazoa, white blood cells or bacteriophages,
- Cell Wall - Provides structure,
- Flagellum - Organelle of propulsion,
- Cell Surface Membrane - Barrier between cell and environment. Regulates transport of substances,
- Plasmid - Loops carrying 10-30 genes enable production of antibiotics, or resistance to antibiotics,
- Naked Nucleic Acid - Carries genetic material.
