Traditional bacteria e.g. E. Coli, S. aureus
6
Q
Features of a prokaryotic cell:
A
Single-celled, heterotrophs/chemotrophs/photosynthetic autotrophs, no nucleus, DNA stored in a plasmid, semi-rigid cell wall, no membrane-bound organelles
7
Q
Plasmid
A
DNA stored in a single circular chromosome
8
Q
Features of a eukaryotic cell
A
Single-celled or multicellular, more complex, specialised organelles which facilitate biochemical reactions, DNA strands contained within nucleus, membrane-bound organelles
