Prokaryotic Cell Parts
Prokaryotic cell parts are not generally membrane-bound, so we don’t refer to
them as organelles.

cell wall: protective protein-based coating (Gram + / Gram -)
plasma membrane: selectively permeable, controls entry & exit of materials to and from the cell. pili: attach to other bacteria for DNA transfer
ribosomes: protein synthesis (transcription & translation)
flagella: whiplash-like motion causes movement
mesosome
cytoplasm: contains enzymes for metabolic reactions
nucleoid: closed-loop of bacterial DNA in a condensed area

Prokaryotic Cell Parts
These don’t really exist naturally as bacterial cell parts, and could be an example of a paradigm shift in thinking.
They were observed in some electron micrographs and thought to be in-folds of membrane used for division, respiration or making cell walls…
… turns out they are an artifact of the preparation method for some electron microscope images.

Past-paper question: E. coli TEM image
Image from IB Biology QuestionBank CDRom – get a copy here: https://store.ibo.org/biology
Identify these structures: I. Plasma membrane II. Cell wall / pili III. Nucleoid IV. Cytoplasm / ribosomes
Calculate the magnification of the image.1. Measure the scale bar in mm. 2. Multiply x 1000 to convert to μm. That is the magnification.
How long is the bacterium?

PROKARYOTESEPRODUCE
through binary fissionThe closed-loop DNA of the bacterium
makes copies through semi-conservative DNA replication.
New plasmids are pulled to opposing poles by the spindle fibres.
The bacterium divides in two.
