responsible for controlling what gets into and out of the cell
Synthesizes cell wall components
Assists in DNA replication
Captures energy as ATP
Carries on respiration
structure
phospholipid bilayer with proteins embedded in and attached
to the intracellular and extracellular surfaces
often have two plasma membranes with a space between
them known as the periplasm
CYTOPLASM
substance of the
cell inside the plasma
membrane
Gel-like, yet fluid
(80% Water)
Biologists
discovered that
prokaryotic cells
have a complex and
functional
cytoskeleton, helps
to divide and helps
the cell maintain its
plump, round shape
NUCLEOID
(DNA)
contains the main DNA material
bacterial chromosome, bacteria often contain small
circular, double-stranded DNA molecules called plasmid
Plasmic do not contain genetic
material essential for growth (limited)
RIBOSOMES
Protein synthesis
Have about half of the amount of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
