|
ribosomes |
protein synthesis takes place here, RNA is ‘read’ by these ribosomes and amino acids are assembled into a protein chain |
|
|
nucleiod |
most of the dna is found there along with some rna and proteins, it is not membrane bound |
|
|
endospores |
resistant to heat,cold,radiation and a lack of nutrients, for protection they bundle their genetic material inside a protective layer |
|
|
genophore |
sometimes referred to as the bacterial chromosome, a long double strand of dna usually in one large structure |
|
|
pili |
also known as fimbriae; hollow, hair like structures made of proteins allow bacteria to attach to other cells |
|
|
storage granules |
nutrients and reserves may be stored in these cytoplasmic inclusions in the form of glycogen, lipids, polyphosphate and sometimes sulphur |
|
|
capsule |
layer of polysaccharide (sometimes proteins protects the bacterial cell as it is usually associated with pathogenic bacterial cell as it serves as a barrier against phagocytosis) also stops cell from drying out |
|
|
tonoplast |
controls movement of molecules in and out of the vacuole |
|
|
amyloplast |
store starch |
