  • Glycocalyx

    A protective outer layer of a prokaryotic cell, which can be a capsule or slime layer.
  • Cell Wall

    Provides shape and structural support to the prokaryotic cell.
  • Cell Membrane

    Regulates the entry and exit of substances in and out of the cell.
  • Cytoplasm

    Gel-like substance containing cellular components within the cell membrane.
  • Nucleoid

    Region in prokaryotic cells containing DNA; it is not membrane-bound.
  • Ribosomes

    Sites of protein synthesis in the cell.
  • Mesosome

    Infoldings of the cell membrane, possibly involved in cell division.
  • Fimbriae and Pili

    Surface structures used for attachment to surfaces and genetic exchange.
  • Flagella

    Motility structures that enable movement of the cell.
  • Inclusion Bodies

    Storage sites within the cell for nutrients.
  • Plasmid

    Small, circular DNA molecules separate from the chromosomal DNA.
