Prokaryotic cell structure

• In all prokaryotic cells

  Ribosomes (70s)

  cytoplasm

  cell membrane

  circular DNA

  cell wall- made from murein
• In some prokaryotic cells

  Flagella

  plasmids (loops of DNA)

  mucilagenous capsule
• Binary fission

  1.DNA replication and plasmids replicate

  2.circular DNA attaches to the membrane

  3.the cell membrane begins to grow between the two molecules of DNA, dividing the original cell into two identical daughter cells, each with a copy of circular DNA and a variable number of copies of the plasmids
