Prokaryotic

• Prokaryotes have no membrane bound organelles
• Bacterial cell walls are made from murein
• Plasmids are circular DNA and carry genes for antibiotic resistance
• Prokaryotes have 70s ribosomes
• Prokaryotic DNA is circular and not contained in a nucleus
• The mesosome is the site of respiration in bacteria
• The capsule is a layer protecting the cell from white blood cell detection in prokaryotes
• Bacterium replicate by binary fission where the DNA will replicate and attach to the cell membrane, the cell will begin to divide by forming a cross wall
• Prokaryotic cells dont tend to have introns as apart of their DNA so dont require MRNA splicing
