Q

Why are Prokaryotes Important

A

Hvae positive impact such as gut digestion, nutrient cycling, produce vitamins and use in food as probiotics (yogurt)

however it can be harmful due to pathogens= infection bacteria

Q

characteristics explained

A

pili allows bacteria to move
flagella propells bacteria to move
sticky capsid prevents water loss, resists temperature changes and keep out antibiotic and virus
bacteria can trade plasmids with other bacterua
plasid dna can be resilt to antibodics (share this to other cells an dmutations)

gram postive bacteria: probotcis in yogurts, step throat

spirochetes: spiral shaped flugeum in cytoplasm

chlamdiyas: cause clamida and are partstic sthat live with cells
