Peptidoglycan consists of chains of sugars cross-linked by short polypeptides.
Bacteria have a plasma membrane that regulates what enters or exits the cell.
The cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan, which gives the bacterial cell its shape.
The cytoplasm is where most metabolic reactions occur, including protein synthesis.
The cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan, which provides structural support to the cell.
Prokaryotic cells have no nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.
Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis.
DNA contains genetic information and is located in the nucleoid region.
Prokaryotic cells lack organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and vacuoles found in eukaryotic cells.
They are smaller than eukaryotic cells and lack internal structures such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, and endoplasmic reticulum.
Nucleoid contains DNA and controls genetic information.
Prokaryotic cells lack organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, and nuclei.
Plasma membranes regulate the movement of substances into and out of the cell.
Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis within the cell.
The cell wall protects the cell from external stresses and maintains its shape.
Flagella are used for locomotion.
Cytoplasm contains ribosomes, enzymes, and DNA.
The cell wall also helps prevent water loss through osmosis.
Cytoplasm contains enzymes involved in various biochemical processes.
Cell walls protect against osmotic pressure changes and give bacteria their characteristic shapes.
Pili are involved in attachment and transfer of DNA during conjugation.
Cytoplasm is where most chemical reactions occur within the cell.
Cytoplasm is where most chemical reactions occur within the cell.
Flagella or pili aid in motility and attachment to surfaces.
The plasma membrane regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell.
Flagella propel movement through flagellar motor.
Cell membrane regulates what enters and exits the cell.
Capsule surrounds cell wall and protects from predators and environmental stresses.
The cell wall provides structural support to the cell.
Cell wall provides structural support and protection against osmotic pressure.
Cytoplasm is the fluid matrix inside the plasma membrane that houses various structures and processes within the cell.
Flagella or pili allow some bacteria to move or attach to surfaces.
Ribosomes synthesize proteins using instructions from DNA.
Pili are involved in attachment to surfaces and transferring genetic material during conjugation.
Fimbriae are hair-like structures that aid in adhesion to other cells or surfaces.
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.
Capsule is an extracellular layer that protects the cell from environmental stressors.
Nucleoid is where genetic material (DNA) is located.
Glycocalyx is an extracellular matrix that provides protection against environmental factors and helps with adhesion to other cells.
