6. Structure of Bacteria Carries genetic information. It is circular Chromosome Contains DNA, ribosomes, essential compounds Cytoplasm Regulates movement of materials, contains enzymes important to cellular respiration Cell Membrane Protects against antibodies Outer Membrane Protects and gives shape Cell Wall Function Structure
7. Structure of Bacteria Contains some genes obtained through recombination Plasmid Protects the cell and assist in attaching cell to other surfaces Capsule & Slime Layer Protects cell against harsh environments Endospore Assists the cell in attaching to other surfaces Pilus Moves the cell Flagellum
