Components+of+Prokaryotes+HC


 * Functions of the components of prokaryotes:**

__Nucleoid Region:__ -Contains the DNA -Directs the production of proteins within the cell

__Ribosomes:__ -Translates the mRNA into a protein (sequence of amino acids)

__Cell Wall:__ -Protects the Cell -Helps to maintain cell shape

__Capsule:__ -Furthur protection for the cell -Helps the prokaryote to stick to surfaces

__Plasma Membrane__ -Reglates the transfer of componds in and out of the cell

__Pili:__ -Help the cell to attach to surfaces

__Prokaryotic Flagella:__ Propel the prokaryote through its liquid environment
