What material is the prokaryotic cell wall made up from?

A glycoprotein called murein

3
New cards

What type of ribosome do prokaryotic cells contain?

70S ribosomes

4
New cards

What are ribosomes made up from?

Two subunits of protein and rRNA

5
New cards

What gene is often located in the plasmids?

Antibiotic resistance gene

6
New cards

What is the capsule and what is it made up from?

  • Slimy layer on outside of the cell

  • Protein

7
New cards

What are the two functions of the capsule?

  • Prevents prokaryotic cell from desiccating (drying out)

  • Helps to cover antigens on outside of cell, protecting it from the host’s immune system

8

What is the function of flagella?

Rotates enabling prokaryotic cell to move
