An in-depth document of the summary notes for prokaryotic cell structure. These notes are condensed into 1 simple page, making it easy to remember the key notes and information. This summary is based of the Oxford OCR A textbook therefore covers all spec note’s necessary.
Prokaryotic(ell structure
*
prokaryotes are single-celled organisms which Flagellum -
long ,
fail-like structures adding movement (like a propeller
don't contain a nucleus + its organites are not

eutayores (undiitipodia -
sperm flagellam)
and
a ions acros a sempenneable membrane

electrochemical gradient
↳the E to rotate the filement is provided by kn polso Chemiosmosis not ATP like

eukaryotes
↳ smaller bosomes >

↳ no nucleus

body + rotated by a molecular motor
↳ all wase that contain murcin (gly lo proteins
>
-
the basal body compromises the Magellum the molecular
motor causes the hook to
urate ::
giving it a whip-like
movement
Differences between Prokaryotes + Eukaryoes :

② parent cl divides - 2 cells

cells inherit a copyy the single , circular DNA + plasmids
