Prokaryotic part functions:
Cell wall- forms a protective outer layer- prevents outside damage- Stops cells bursting when internal pressure is high
Plasma Membrane-controls entry and exits of substances-uses active transport
Cytoplasm- contains enzymes that catalyze chemical reactions of metabolism- contains a region of DNA in the nucleoid
Pili- hair-like structures protecting the cell wall- when connected to other bacteria cells can be used to pull cells togher
Flagella-solid protein structures-protects cell wall- rotate to cause locomotion
Ribosomes-synthesize proteins through RNA- present in cell or secreted
Nucleoid- present in the cytoplasm- contains genetic information
