prokaryotic cells

Cards (20)

  • Cell theory is a fundamental organizing principle of biology
  • Cell is the smallest unit of life ( cell theory state )
  • Cells make up all living things, including unicellular and multicellular organisms ( cell theory state )
  • new cells can arise only from preexisting cells ( which is an important part of cell theory )
  • there are two basic types of cells: prokaryotic and eukaryotic
  • cell is a structural unit of living things
  • cell contains genetic material
  • The size of prokaryotic organisms is 1- 10 um
  • Prokaryotic cells don't have membrane-bound organelles
  • DNA form in PC is circular
  • DNA location in PC is in cytoplasm
  • cytoskeleton is presented in PC
  • PC doesn't have the nucleus
  • there are 3 shapes of prokaryotic cells: rods ( bacilli ), spheres ( cocci) and spirals
  • Prokaryotes are unicellular ( consist of only one cell )
  • prokaryotic cells are in bacteria and Archaea domains
  • prokaryotes do not a nucleus instead it has nucleoid
  • prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles
  • they are encased by a cell-membrane
  • they are encased by a cell wall
