UNIT 3 CELLS - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Cell (plasma) membrane: responsible for regulating what materials move into and out of the cell
        
        Nucleoid: DNA with ends that come together to form a circle and is NOT wrapped around proteins (termed “naked”)
        
        Cytoplasm (cytosol): gel-like fluid substance (mostly water with many dissolved molecules), site of metabolic reactions
        
        Ribosome: build proteins during translation
        
        Plasmid*: extra piece(s) of small, circular DNA that can be shared between bacteria, often contain genes for antibiotic resistance
        
        Cell wall*: provides shape and allows the cell to withstand turgor pressure without bursting
        
        Pili*: enable the cell attach to surfaces, swap DNA with other cells and may be used to harpoon DNA in the environment
        
        Capsule*: helps the cell keep from dehydrating and adhere to surfaces
        
        Flagellum*: Long extensions used in cell locomotion
