    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.
