Download Bacterial Cell - DNA-TRAP

THE BACTERIAL
CELL
Cytoplasm
Where proteins carry out
chemical reactions, important
for the workings of the cell to
take place (the factory floor).
Cell Membrane
Controls what enters
and leaves the cell.
Periplasmic Space
Chemical reactions take
place to allow substances
to be transported into or
out of the cell.
Ribosomes
Make proteins using the
coded instructions hidden
in the DNA sequence.
Flagella
Allows the cell to swim
and move around.
DNA (Deoxynucleic acid)
The code that tells the cell how
to form all of the proteins it
needs, including how to make
another copy of itself.
Pilli (fimbriae) For bacteria to attach themselves
to things such as your cells.
Outer membrane
Tough layer giving the
cell shape and
protecting the cell from
damage.
