Peptidoglycan
What do prokaryotes use flagella for?
Movement
What are fimbriae used for in prokaryotes?
Attachment
A dense area in prokaryotes where the chromosome is located.
Nucleiod
Accessory rings of DNA found in some prokaryotes.
Plasmids
Splitting of a parent cell into two daughter cells ; asexual reproduction
Binary fission
In bacteria, genetic recombination can occur in three ways.
Conjugation
Transformation
Transduction
When bacterium pass DNA to a second bacterium through a pili
Conjugation
When bacteria takes up free pieces of DNA secreted by live bacteria
Transformation
When bacteriophages transfer portions of bacterial DNA from one cell to another
Transduction
Unable to grow in the presence of O2
Obligate anaerobes
Use light energy to assemble the organic molecules they require
Photoautotrophs
