Prokaryotic Cells Flashcards
1
Q
Flagella
A
Thinner than eukaryotic flagella and doesn’t have (9+2) arrangement.
Basal body attaches to flagellum to plasma membrane and energy to rotate flagellum isn’t supported by ATP but by chemiosis
2
Q
Cell wall
A
All have a cell wall in prokaryotic cells
Made up of peptidyglycan (murein)
3
Q
Ribosomes
A
Smaller 70s
Found in cytoplasm
4
Q
DNA
A
Generally found in one molecule (circular dna/chromosomes) and isn’t associated with histone hence “naked”
5
Q
Unicellular
A
Always unicellular so single celled
6
Q
Key facts about prokaryotes
A
Always have a cell wall
DNA is not found within a nucleus
Does NOT have membrane bound organelles
