Plasma Membrane -controls the movement of substances into and out of cells.
Cytoplasm -Site of chemical reactions within the cell.
Genetic Material -Composed of a circle of double stranded DNA.
70s Ribosomes -Used for protein synthesis
Cell Wall -Made of peptidoglycan. Provides structural support. Prevents osmotic damage when water enters the cell.
Pili -Small hair like appendages around the outside of the cell. For adhesion and to transfer genetic material between bacteria.
Flagellum -Longer appendage which is used for locomotion and often also a sensory organelle.
Food stores -Typically lipid globules or glycogen granules.
Photosynthetic membranes -Surfaces for light absorbing pigments.
Plasmids -Short pieces of circular DNA which replicate independently of the genome.
Capsule -A gummy layer of mucilage,may unite bacteria into colonies or confer protection.
Mesosomes -infoldings of the plasma membrane in which enzymes associated with with respiration are located (where energy happens). A protein gradient generated across these membranes is used to drive the synthesis of ATP.
