Prokaryotic Cell

A primitive cell that lacks a membrane bound nucleus and organelles.

2
New cards

Cell Envelope

A trillamellar structure surrounding the cell that is composed of the glycocalyx, cell wall, and cell membrane.

3
New cards

Glycocalyx

The outermost layer of the cell envelope which helps with protection and prevention of dessication.

4
New cards

Cell Wall

The middle layer of the cell envelope which provides rigidity to the cell.

5
New cards

Cell Membrane

The innermost layer of the cell envelope which helps with absorption.
