Bacteria Cell Structure and
Function
cytoplasm
• Gelatin-like, flows inside
cell
• Contains everything cell
needs to carry out life
chromosome (genetic material)
• Directs cell activities
• Provides directions for
all cell processes
ribosome
• Make protein
cell membrane
• Controls what goes in
and out of the cell
• Separates cell from its
environment
cell wall
• Supports and protects
the cell
gelatin like capsule
• Protects cell
• Allows bacteria to stick
to surfaces
• Prevents bacteria from
drying out
flagellum (plural: flagella)
• Whip-like tail that helps
