structure and function

    Cards (10)

    • cell wall structure
      prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a cell wall made of peptidoglycan
    • capsule function
      slippery layer outside the cell wall of some species of bacteria
    • ribosomes structure
      smaller than ribosomes found in eukaryotic cells. consist of two sub-units and they are not surrounded by a membrane
    • nucleoid (nucleus like) structure
      irregularly shaped region that holds nuclear material without nuclear membrane and where genetic material localised
    • plasmid structure
      small circular loops of dna
    • cell wall function
      protects and supports each cell
    • capsule function
      protects the cell and prevents dessication
    • ribosomes function
      protein synthesis occurs at ribosomes
    • nucleoid function
      region where genetic information can be found and controls cellular activity
    • plasmid function
      carry genes that may benefit the survival of the organism
