ch 3-Prokaryotic Cell

Question 1

what sets Prokaryotic Cells apart

Answer 1

they lack a membrane bound nucleus

Question 2

what domains are prokaryotic cells

Answer 2

Archaea and Eubacteria

Question 3

plasma membrane

Answer 3

Answer 4

a semifluid medium inside the cell composed of water, salts, and dissolved organic molecules; plasma membrane

Question 5

cell wall

Answer 5

form of protection, outside of the plasma membrane

Question 6

capsule

Answer 6

in some bacteria, a gelatinous sheath that further surrounds the cell wall

Question 7

flagella

Answer 7

in some bacteria, long tail like things which are composed of subunits of the protein flagellin; rotate like propellors, allowing the bacteria to move rapidly

Question 8

fimbriae/ pilus

Answer 8

in some bacteria, help attach to an appropriate surface

Question 9

nucleoid

Answer 9

a single chromosome located within a region of the cytoplasm; not surrounded by a membrane

Question 10

plasmids

Answer 10

small rings of DNA located within the cytoplasm and contain small amounts of genetic info

Question 11
