Question
Chapter 3.1, Problem 1TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The chemicals that are present in the greatest and the smallest number in the bacterial cell. Also reveal the reason behind the bacterial cell possessing 100 times the lipid molecules as compared to the strands of ribonucleic acid (RNA).
Introduction:
Â
Bacterial cells are prokaryotic cells that do not possess a membrane encircled nucleus and organelles. These cells consist of chromosomes and circular DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) along with ribosome, cytoplasm, and nucleoid. These cells are found in various shapes like cylindrical, minute spheres, filamentous chains, flagellated rods, and spiral threads. There are various intracellular components that are present inside the cell.
