Prokaryotic Cell Structure

Question 1

What are all of the organelles of a bacterial cell / prokaryotic cell?

Answer 1

loop of DNA
cytoplasm
small ribosomes
cell membrane
cell wall
capsule 
flagella
plasmids

Question 2

What are loops of DNA?

Answer 2

no nucleus
DNA is free in the cytoplasm
is in all prokaryotic cells

Question 3

What is cytoplasm included in?

Answer 3

all prokaryotic cells

Question 4

What are the small ribosomes?

Answer 4

in all prokaryotic cells
make proteins
made up of protein + RNA

Question 5

What is the cell membrane?

Answer 5

in all prokaryotic cells

controls what goes in and out

Question 6

What is the cell wall?

Answer 6

in all prokaryotic cells
made of murein (a glycoprotein)
strength + structure to cell

Question 7

What is the capsule?

Answer 7

in some prokaryotic cells
slime layers
adds extra protection

Question 8

What is flagella?

Answer 8

in some prokaryotic cells

rotates to move cell

Question 9

What is plasmids?

Answer 9

in some prokaryotic
small loop of DNA
can be passed between bacteria
carry useful genes
e.g. for antibiotic resistance

Question 10

Are organelles membrane-bound or non membrane bound?

Answer 10

there are no membrane bound organelles

e.g. nucleus, golgi, E.R, lysosomes, mitochondria, chloroplasts
