Intracellular Structures of Prokaryote

Assalamualaikum and Good morning Dr Wan.

The next chapter is Intracellular Structures of Prokaryotes.

In this chapter, we’re doing in group a presentation on topic that we chose.

We’ve learnt about the structure, chemistry and function of each of the structures internal to the cell wall of prokaryotes.

The intracellular structures include:

• Plasma membrane

·         Passive transport

ü  Simple diffusion

ü  Facilitated diffusion

ü  Osmosis

·         Active transport

ü  Active transtport

ü  Group translocation

• Cytoplasm

• Nuclear area

• Plasmid

• Ribosomes

• Inclusions   

        Granules

ü  Metachromatic granules

ü  Polysaccharide granules

ü  Sulfur granules

·         Vesicles

ü  Gas vacuole

ü  Carboxysome

ü  Magnetosome

ü Lipid deposits

• Endospores and the infectious disease caused by endospores
