bacterial cells

• Bacterial cells are examples of prokaryotic cells. The sub-cellular structures found inside them include:

  • Cytoplasm
  • Cell wall and cell membrane
  • Flagella
  • Plasmids
• Plasmids are small rings of DNA
• Some bacteria have flagella. Flagella are whip-like structures used for movement.
• Bacterial cells contain a cell membrane and a cell wall, which provides structure.
• Cytoplasm is a jelly-like fluid that fills the cell. The cytoplasm is where most of the cell’s chemical reactions take place.
