Prokaryotic cell

Back (Answer)

bacteria

#2
Front (Question)

Virus

Back (Answer)

a cellular, non-living structure which contains nucleic acid and is enclosed in a protective protein (capsid)

#3
Front (Question)

Plasmid

Back (Answer)

Possesses genes that may aid the survival of bacterial cells in adverse conditions(only in certain species)

#4
Front (Question)

Murein/pepridoglycan

Back (Answer)

Makes up the cell wall of bacterial cells

#5
Front (Question)

Mucilaginous

Back (Answer)

Protects bacteria cells

#6
Front (Question)

Flagellum

Back (Answer)

used for locomotion and there may be more than one (Only in certain species)

#7
Front (Question)

Structure of prokaryote

Back (Answer)

• no true nucleus, only a single circular DNA • DNA not associated with proteins • some DNA may be found in the form of circular strands called plasmids • No membrane bound organelles -Ribosomes are smaller (70s)
