Study Notes
Prokaryotic Cells
- Prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Cell Wall in Prokaryotes
- The cell wall in prokaryotes provides structural support, maintains cell shape, and helps to regulate osmotic pressure.
Bacteria vs Archaea
- The main difference between bacteria and archaea lies in their habitat, with bacteria typically living in more temperate environments and archaea thriving in extreme environments.
Locomotion in Prokaryotes
- Prokaryotes use flagella as structures for locomotion.
Genetic Material Exchange in Prokaryotes
- Prokaryotes use pilus (plural: pili) structures to exchange genetic material during conjugation.
