Prokaryotic Cells
Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms without a nucleus, classified into Archaebacteria and Eubacteria. Their cellular structure includes a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleoid, plasmids, ribosomes, and various external structures. These organisms play crucial roles in diverse environments and have unique adaptations for survival.

This page delves deeper into the prokaryotic cell structure and components and functions, providing more detail on each cellular component.
Definition: Horizontal gene transfer is the movement of genetic material between organisms other than by vertical transmission from parent to offspring.
Example: Horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes can occur through plasmid exchange, allowing bacteria to acquire new traits such as antibiotic resistance.
This page continues the discussion of prokaryotic cell structure and function, focusing on the cell membrane, cell wall, and external structures.
Vocabulary: Peptidoglycan - A polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of bacterial cells.
Highlight: The cell wall is a crucial difference between archaebacteria and eubacteria. While both have cell walls, the composition differs significantly.
This page completes the overview of prokaryotic cell structure and components, focusing on external structures that aid in movement and attachment.
Example: Horizontal gene transfer in bacteria can occur through conjugation, where genetic material is transferred from one bacterium to another via sex pili.
Highlight: The presence and arrangement of flagella can vary among prokaryotes and is often used as a characteristic for classification.
This page provides a brief comparison between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, highlighting key differences in their structure and organization.
While prokaryotes lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, eukaryotes possess both. This fundamental difference leads to several other distinctions:
Definition: Eukaryotic cell diagram would show a nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and a more complex internal structure compared to a prokaryotic cell diagram.
Highlight: Understanding the differences between archaebacteria and eubacteria as well as the distinctions between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is crucial for comprehending the diversity of life on Earth.

This page provides an overview of prokaryotic cell structure and components, focusing on their basic characteristics and classification.
Prokaryotes are defined as organisms whose cells lack a nucleus. They are classified into two main domains:
The prokaryotic cell structure and components diagram illustrates key features:
Vocabulary: Genophore - The circular DNA strand found in prokaryotes.
Highlight: The term 'prokaryote' comes from Greek, where 'pro' means before and 'karyon' means nucleus, reflecting their lack of a true nucleus.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
