Prokaryotic Organisms

• Prokaryotic organisms belong to the kingdom Monera.
• Bacterial cells divide by binary fission.

Bacterial Cells

• Genetic material in bacterial cells is a single circular chromosome.
• A key feature of bacterial cells is the presence of a cell wall composed of peptidoglycan (also known as murein).

Endospores

• Endospores are a key feature of bacteria that allows them to survive in extreme conditions.
• The main function of endospores is to provide protection against heat, radiation, and chemicals.

Fungi

• Moulds are a type of fungi.
• The main function of moulds is to break down organic matter.
• Moulds multiply by producing spores.
