Parts of an Prokaryotic cell - Coggle Diagram
Parts of an Prokaryotic cell
cell membrane
Delimits the cell
Involve the cell
Regulates and select the movement of substances into and out of the cell
Double layer of lipids that enclose proteins.
Semipermeable structure
Nucleoide
Region in which the genetic material of a prokaryotic cell is concentrated
In the middle of the cell
It works to store genetic information
Cell wall
Located below the capsule
Maintains the shape of the prokaryotic cell
Protects the interior of the prokaryotic cell and prevents the cell from bursting when it absorbs water
Responsible for the shape and size of prokaryotic cells
Cytoplasm
It is everything that is found within the plasma membrane
Gelatinous liquid that fills the interior of a cell
It is water together with various substances in solution (cytosol)
The capsule
It is a sticky outer layer
Usually made of polysaccharides
The capsule helps prokaryotic cells adhere to each other and to various surfaces in their environment.
Flagellum
Appendix with whip-shaped mobility
Are found on the surface of cells
Allows bacteria to be propelled at the highest speed in relation to their size
Plasmid
Extrachromosomal DNA molecules
Usually in a circular shape
These replicate autonomously and are transmitted
This replication occurs through a process called conjugation.
Pili
They are short appendages
They are a type of hair found on the membrane of certain bacteria.
Involved in bacterial conjugation
Ribosomes
Structure found within Prokaryotic cells
They participate in the production of proteins
With the help of amino acids, these proteins are elaborated.
