Document Summary

Of all organisms, prokaryotes are the smallest and simplest structurally. Nucleoid is the region where the single and circular molecule of dna is located (with non-histone proteins) May also contain plasmids which are smaller extra chromosomal pieces of circular dna. Coiling the chromosome allows it to fit in cell. Prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller than the ones of eukaryotic organisms. In photosynthetic purple bacteria, sites of photosynthesis is found in plasma membrane. Many prokaryotes have rigid wall, some have flexible walls and very few have. Cell walls of bacteria contain complex polymers which are called no wall at all peptidoglycans. Bacteria can be divided into two groups o. The ones that retain the dye are gram-positive and the ones that don"t are gram-negative. Gram staining is used to identify and classify bacteria o. Many prokaryotes secrete slimy/gummy substances on outer surface of wall which consist of polysaccharides. Plays important role in infection and protcts bacteria from.
