Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic

• What organelles do Prokaryotic Cells have but Eukaryotic?

  Mesosomes, Capsules, Nucleoids, Plasmids, Flagella
• What are Mesosomes?

  In-folds of the Cell Membrane that have a large surface area for the attachment of enzymes in respiration
• What are Plasmids?

  Tiny circles of DNA carrying a few genes, can be transferred from bacteria to bacteria in a process called Conjugation
• What is different about the Ribosomes in Prokaryotic Cells?

  They aren't attatched to any membranes and are smaller
• What is a Flagellum?

  A "Whip-like" structure that rotates to allow the bacteria to move (Some don't have this and some have more than one)
• What is the difference in Cell Walls in Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells?

  Prokaryotic: Peptidoglycan or Murein Eukaryotic: Cellulose (plants) or chitin (fungi)
• What is a Capsule?

  A slimy layer outside the cell wall
• What can the Capsule do?

  • Stop the cell drying out
  • Stick cells together
  • Protect the cell from the action of the host's digestive enzymes
• How do Prokaryotic Cells divide?

  Binary Fission
• Is Binary Fission Asexual or Sexual?

  Asexual
• Are Bacterium Uni or multicellular?

  Unicellular
