### Prokaryotes - Some species have simple organelles or infolding - Cytoskeleton: - Prokaryotes do not have cytoskeleton elements found in eukaryotes, however, they have tubulin and actin filaments which influence the shape of the cell wall. - These filaments help maintain the shape of the cell and prevent excessive uptake. - Cell wall: - The cell wall is located outside of the plasma membrane. - The cell wall maintains the shape of the cell. - It is composed of peptidoglycan (murein) in bacteria. - It is composed of pseudomurein in Archaea. - The cell wall influences the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics. - Flagella: - The flagella are found in some prokaryotic cells. - There can be one or more flagella present in a cell. - flagella are used for locomotion. - The rotary motion propels the cell. - Pili: - Pili are protein filaments found on the surface of a prokaryotic cell. - Pili aid in movement and material exchange. - Reproduction: - Reproduction is asexual and occurs through a process called binary fission. - Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction. (NOTE: There is no mitosis!) ### Eukaryotic Cells - Possess a membrane-bound nucleus. - More complex than prokaryotic cells by creating compartments. - **Plant cells:**
