What is the function and structure of Prokaryotic Cells and?
A prokaryotic cell is pretty simple. It’s surrounded by a cell membrane (sometimes covered with pili, or hair like extensions). Inside the membrane, there is a nucleoid region (consisting of DNA) somewhat in the center of the cell, and some ribosomes floating around. Sometimes the cell may have flagellum for movement. The entire cell looks like a pill. Here’s what it looks like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Avera… A eukaryotic cell is much more complex. Animal cells: It’s surrounded by a cellular membrane and has a structure held up by a cytoskeleton. There are many parts to the cell; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Anima… for a simplified picture of an animal cell. Plant cells: It’s almost the same as the animal cell, but it has a cell wall (for structure, gives the plant cells its boxy
