Prokaryotic cells

Question 1

prokaryotes

Answer 1

prokaryotic cells are small, single, simple cells that lack a nucleus

Question 2

Archaea

Answer 2

are older organisms that developed along the same time as eukaryotes

Question 3

Bacteria

Answer 3

are primitive single called organisms that predate both archaea and eukaryotes and are more genetically different from the two.

Question 4

outer capsule and cell wall

Answer 4

Prokaryotic cells have both an outer capsule and a cell wall to help provide structure
and support.

The outer capsule is also known as a ¨slime layer¨
The cell walls of prokaryotic cells is made of peptidoglycan

Peptidoglycan is made of sugars

Question 5

cell membrane

Answer 5

This membrane is selectively permeable which means it allows some substances in, and keeps other substances out

Question 6

Cytoplasm

Answer 6

Gel like substance found throughout the cell

Question 7

Appendages

Answer 7

50% of all prokaryotes have a flagellum

The flagellum looks like a tail and acts as a propellor to help cell move

Pilli and fimbriae are hair like appendages or outer surface of the cell that aid in movement and the transfer of genetic information
