Study Notes
Bacterial DNA
- Bacterial DNA is contained in a single circular chromosome, often called the nucleoid.
- Bacteria are prokaryotic, which means they lack a membrane-bound nucleus.
- The DNA is not enclosed in a nuclear membrane.
Bacterial Ribosomes
- Bacterial cells contain thousands of ribosomes, which are small, discrete structures.
- Ribosomes are important for protein synthesis.
Bacterial Cytoplasm
- Bacterial cytoplasm is a complex fluid mixture containing 80% water.
- The fluid contains lipids, carbohydrates, ions, enzymes, the nucleoid, ribosomes, and inclusion granules.
- Bacteria are prokaryotes because they lack a nucleus.
Bacterial Shapes
- The three major shapes of bacteria are bacillus, coccus, and spiral.
- Bacilli are rod-shaped, cocci are spherical, and spirals are helical.
Bacterial Reproduction
- Bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission.
- During fission, a bacterium duplicates its DNA and grows in size.
- A fissure forms at the center of the parent cell, ultimately splitting it into two identical daughter cells.
