A
bacterial DNA that is independent of chromosome
4
Q
Chromosome
A
Genes necessary for life - circular - usually only 1 haploid
5
Q
Fimbria

H2O2 > H2O + 02
14
Q
Vacuoles
A
storage
15
Q
Cytoskeleton (3)
A
Microtubules - cell division
Microfilaments - movement & make pseudopodia
Intermediate filaments - ropes at cell - attachment and cell structure
