Question

10. explain to be familiar with the structure and function of the following prokaryotic cell structures:

Cell walls, nucleoid, plasmids, endospores, Flagella, Capsules

AND

recognize structures and molecules that are unique to particular groups of microbes (ex. Peptidoglycan is unique to bacteria)

Answer 1

Cell Wall: Protect Bacteria From Dehydration and gives shape: Peptoglycon Cell Wall present in Bacteria; Cellulose cell wall in plants, Chitin cell wall in Fungi

Nucleoid: Also called Genopore, present in Bacteria act as genetic material.

Plasmids are small circular double standard DNA molecules mostly present in Bacteria and some Yeast

Endospores are special type of Bacterial structurs, that formed ny Bacteria under unfavourable conditions totideaway those conditions.

Flagellas are locomotory organelleis present in bacteria, some protists. These are extra cellular appendages

Capsule is a corbohydrate structure present on the surface of the Bacterial cell wall
