IV. Examples of Prokaryotic Cell
 What is a
Prokaryotic Cell?
unicellular
no nucleus
Domain Bacteria and Domain Archaea
PROKARYOTE STRUCTURE
Capsule
Pilus
Cell Wall

Plasma Membrane

Nucleoid (DNA)

Cytoplasm

Ribosomes

Flagellum
 FUNCTIONS

Capsule Cell Wall Cytoplasm

protects the cell protects the bacterial gel-like substance
assists in retaining cell composed mainly of
moisture gives it shape water
helps the cell adhere to
surfaces and nutrients
 FUNCTIONS
Pili Flagella
Cell Membrane (Pilus singular)
surrounds the cell's Hair-like structures long, whip-like
cytoplasm attach to other bacterial protrusions
regulates the flow of cells aid in cellular
substances "Fimbriae" locomotion
- shorter pili
 FUNCTIONS

Ribosomes Plasmids Nucleoid Region

gene-carrying, circular
responsible for protein Area of the cytoplasm
DNA structures
production contains the single
not involved in
bacterial DNA
reproduction
 EXAMPLES OF
PROKARYOTIC CELL
ESCHERICHIA COLI
BACTERIUM (E. COLI)
rod-shaped
commonly found in the lower intestine of
warm-blooded organisms
most E. coli strains are harmless
these can be beneficial by producing vitamin
K2 and preventing the intestine from
becoming colonized with pathogenic bacteria
STREPTOCOCCUS
BACTERIUM
responsible for strep throat
Cell division in this bacterium occurs
along a single axis and they grow in
chains or pairs.
STREPTOMYCES
SOIL BACTERIA
Over 500 types described
Often found in soil and in decaying vegetation
Earthy odor production of Geosmin
 ARCHAEA
subclass: prokaryotes
able to survive in very harsh environments
can be found in geothermally active areas and
live in extremely acidic mud pots called
sulfolobus acidocaldarius archeobacterium
CYANOBACTERIA
(BLUE-GREEN ALGAE)

photosynthetic organisms
resemble the eukaryotic algae in terms of shape and ecology
its prokaryotic nature has caused them to be classified with
bacteria in the prokaryotic kingdom Monera.
