BACTERIA
  1. CHARACTERISTICS
    1. Prokaryote
      1. lack true nucleus, mitochondria and chloroplasts
      2. Unicellular
        1. multiply via binary-fission (form of asexual reproduction)
      3. STRUCTURE
        1. Cell wall
          1. provide strength, support and rigidity
          2. Plasma membrane
            1. semi permeable ; assist in transport of substances and removal of wastes
            2. Cytoplasm
              1. consist all chemical components needed to sustain life of the bacteria
              2. Ribosome
                1. made up of RNA and proteins
                  1. freely floating structure that contributes in the transfer of genetic material
                  2. Flagella
                    1. tail which allows bacteria to move
                    2. Capsule
                      1. slime layer covering the outer cell layer
                        1. stick cells together and also function as food reserve
                        2. Pilli
                          1. short protein appendages that fix bacteria to surfaces
                            1. link two bacteria together allowing DNA transfer
                            2. Plasmid
                              1. small circles of DNA transferred between bacterial cells
