Prokaryotic Cells
First organisms to evolve on Earth and still maintain the simplest cell structure. Bacteria = prokaryotes
Most are: Found almost anywhere Small in size Unicellular Soil Water Skin, intestines Areas of extreme temperatures

Electron Micrograph Diagram Pili
Pili: protein filaments that extend from the cell wall Electron Micrograph Diagram Pili Pili: protein filaments that extend from the cell wall can be pulled in and pushed out “ratchet mechanism” Used for cell-cell adhesion (form aggregates) Used when two cells are exchanging DNA conjugation

Electron Micrograph Diagram Pili Nucleoid
Nucleiod: region of cytoplasm containing genetic material. Electron Micrograph Diagram Pili Nucleoid Nucleiod: region of cytoplasm containing genetic material. **usually 1 molecule of DNA. DNA: circular and “naked” In Ems, nucleoid stained lighter because less ribosomes and proteins in the area.

Electron Micrograph Diagram Pili Nucleoid Ribosomes Plasma membrane Cell Wall
Cell Wall: is ALWAYS present Composed of peptidoglycan Electron Micrograph Diagram Pili Nucleoid Ribosomes Plasma membrane Cell Wall Cell Wall: is ALWAYS present Composed of peptidoglycan Protects the cell, prevents it from bursting Maintains the shape
