What are the components of the prokaryotic cell ?
a) Structure, composition, and function
Solution
Components of prokaryotic cells:
1) plasma membrane, an outer protecting covering that separates the cell interior from surrounding environment
2) cytoplasm, it is a jelly-like where cell components are observed
3) DNA, the genetic material of the cell
4) ribosomes, that synthesize proteins.
Structure of prokaryotic cells:
Prokaryotic cells lack a defined nucleus, but have nucleoid, in which a single chromosomal, round, double-stranded DNA molecule is located.
Archaeal membranes have changed the fatty acids of bacterial membranes with isoprene; a few archaeal membranes are monolayer as opposed to bilayer.
Prokaryotes can be classified based on the composition of the cell wall in terms of the amount of peptidoglycan present.
Gram positive organisms typically lack the outer membrane as in gram- negative organisms and include a peptidoglycan in the cell wall
Gram-negative micro organism have a thin cell wall composed of some layers of peptidoglycan.
Function of prokaryotic cells:
A)They play a vital role in the recycling of vitamins with the aid of decomposing useless organisms and permitting their vitamins to be re-used.
B)They are also essential for metabolic processes. Bacteria in our guts and mouth help with the digestion of meals through breaking down difficult to digest carbohydrates and other compounds.
Composition is described above as components and structure.
