Explore the key components of a bacterial cell including cytoplasm, chromosome, ribosome, cell membrane, cell wall, gelatin-like capsule, flagellum, and cilia. Understand how these structures work together to support bacterial life processes.
E N D
cytoplasm • Gelatin-like, flows inside cell • Contains everything cell needs to carry out life
chromosome (genetic material) • Directs cell activities • Provides directions for all cell processes
ribosome • Make protein
cell membrane • Controls what goes in and out of the cell • Separates cell from its environment
cell wall • Supports and protects the cell
gelatin like capsule • Protects cell • Allows bacteria to stick to surfaces • Prevents bacteria from drying out
flagellum (plural: flagella) • Whip-like tail that helps cell to move
