Structure of a Prokaryotic Cell
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A prokaryotic cell keeps its DNA in a central region, the nucleoid, and typically carries a peptidoglycan wall outside its membrane.
Show
A bacterium's chromosome sits free in the nucleoid, unenclosed by any membrane — the absence Bio 0067 defines a prokaryote by.
Watch for
The nucleoid is a cytoplasmic region, not an organelle — it has no membrane of its own.
