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...

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