Bacteria

• Ribosomes - synthesis of proteins , made of RNA and protein ( found in free cytoplasm )
• Plasmid - carrys genes for replicating their DNA , a circular loop of DNA found in the cytoplasm of bacterial cells
• nucleoid - regulates growth , reproduction, function of prokaryotic cell
• Cytoplasm - internal fluid component of the cell , gives the cell its shape and structure
• Cell membrane - semi-permeable and selective barrier surrounding the cell
• Cell wall - rigid outer covering made of peptidoglycan , maintains shape and prevents bursting
• Slime capsule - a thick polysaccharide layer used for protection against drying out and phagocytosis
• Flagella - projections containing a motor protein that enables movement
• Pili- enable adherence to surfaces or initiates contact between maiting pairs
