prokaryotic cells (chapter 2)

Question 1

organelles in a bacterial cell

Answer 1

• membrane
• cytoplasm
• pilli
• nucleoid
• plasmid
• ribosomes
• flagellum
• cell wall
• capsule

Question 2

nucleoid

Answer 2

• same as eukaryotic but packaged differently
• prokaryotes onl have 1 chromosome which is very coiled to make it compact.
• the genes on the chromosome are often grouped into operons

Question 3

cell wall

Answer 3

• the cell wall in prokayotic cells are made of murein
• it is a complex polymer formed from amino acids and sugars

Question 4

flagella

Answer 4

• flagella is thinner in prokaryotes than eukaryotes
• the energy the flagellum uses is from chemiosmosis, not ATP like in eukaryotic cells.
