The Prokaryote. Product of unguided evolution, Or work of a Genius?

Cytolasm-Provides support to the internal structures by acting as a medium for inter-cellular transportation while maintaining the consistency and shape of a cell. Important life-sustainging chemicals exist here.

Flagella-Tail like motor used for locomotion(movement). Similar to fins on a Dolphin

Nucleoid- has no membrane surrounding it like a eukayote does . Genetic instruction/coding is located here.

Ribosome- Organelle neccesary for protein synthesis
Plasmid- Independant dna used for gene cloning and anti-bacterial protein production
Capsule- Additional outer covering protects cell when engulfed by other organisms, assists in retaining moisture, and helps adhere to surfaces and nutrients
Plasma/Cell membrane- Surrounds the cytoplasm and regulates what enters and exits the cell
Pili- Hair-like structures on th cell surface that attach toother cells and surfaces
