procaryotic cell Flashcards
components of this cell
plasma membrane
cell wall
nucleus
ribososmes
pili
flagella
cytoplasm
protein capsule
plasma membrane
it allows selective trasport in and out of the cell
cell wall
gives a structure to the cell, protects it from dangers and from bursting in hypotonic environments
nucleus
where the DNA is stored
DNA
contains the chromosomes to synthesize proteins
ribosomes
where the messenger RNA storing the information for making proteins go, then the informations, are being translated into chains of amino acids that will eventually fold and create proteins
pili
short sudden movements
communication with other cells
transfer of genes
attach to surfaces
transfer of genes through pili
pili from two cells attach to eachother and a small part of the Dna of one cell, called DNA plasmid, tranfer to another cell.
it’s a kind of repreduction because a new set of genes is created, a new cell is formed
flagella
allow the cell to move towards food and away from danger
