Document Summary

Archaea more related to eukaryote than bacteria -> prokaryote umbrella term. Little internal framework but have protein filament under plasma membrane that support its. Cytoplasm contains ribosomes and sometimes additional organelles, plasmids (carry few. Cells remaining genes are in dna region called nucleoid. In few species, nucleoid is enclosed by membrane. Nearly all prokaryotes have rigid cell wall (surrounds plasma membrane and. Archaea wall and bacteria wall are different but both are permeable to water -> dissolved. Outside cell wall is thick capsule and/or loosely attached layer of slime. Protein filaments (pili) project from wall of some prokaryotes substances can cross easily protects/supports) Latch onto each other to exchange dna. Flagella are slender structures used for motion, rotates like propeller. Biofilm: community of microorganisms living within slime, bacteria live in this.
