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.
