plasma membrane
Many prokaryotic cells have a ____ for movement
flagella
On the interior of a prokaryotic cell, they contain _______ and storage granules
ribosomes
Fimbriae
hairs on the outside of the cell
Storage Granule
stores the cell’s energy (bigger than a ribosomes)
Flagellum
tail on the cell for movement
Ribosomes
protein and energy source
Cell wall
strong wall that protects and supports the cell
Plasma Membrane
soft wall that regulates movement of materials into and out of the cell and communicates with other cells
DNA
squiggly lines that provide the basis for their genetic information
Nuclear area
in between the squiggly lines that stores their genes on chromosomes and still regulate their DNA
Capsule
sticky outermost layer that helps the prokaryotes cling to each other and prevent the cell from drying out
Organelles in a prokaryotic cell
Fimbriae, Storage granule, flagellum, ribosome, cell wall, plasma membrane, DNA, nuclear area, capsule
