1
Prokaryotic Cells
2
First organisms to evolve on Earth and still maintain the simplest cell structure.
Bacteria = prokaryotes
3
Most are: Found almost anywhere Small in size Unicellular Soil Water
Skin, intestines Areas of extreme temperatures

Electron Micrograph Diagram
6
Electron Micrograph Diagram Pili
7
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
10
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
13
Ribosomes: very small structures (70S) which synthesize proteins
Electron Micrograph Diagram Pili Nucleoid Ribosomes Ribosomes: very small structures (70S) which synthesize proteins smaller than eukarotic = 80S

15
Electron Micrograph Diagram Pili Nucleoid Ribosomes Plasma membrane
16
Plasma membrane: thin layer; consists of phospholipids
Electron Micrograph Diagram Pili Nucleoid Ribosomes Plasma membrane Plasma membrane: thin layer; consists of phospholipids Controls entry/exit of materials Partially permeable Produces ATP

Cell Wall
19
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

Cell Wall Capsule
22
Capsule: prevents cell from dessication;protection
Electron Micrograph Diagram Pili Nucleoid Ribosomes Plasma membrane Cell Wall Capsule Capsule: prevents cell from dessication;protection Slippery so hard for antibodies to “eat” Why it can be a cause of some diseases.

25
Electron Micrograph Diagram
Pili Nucleoid Ribosomes Plasma membrane Cell Wall Capsule Flagella Flagella: with the use of energy, propels the cell from one area to another Solid/inflexible
