    • 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.
    • Cell division occurs through binary fission.
