The prokaryotic cell 1. Their genetic material (DNA)is not enclosed within a membrane and they lack other membrane bounded organelles 2. Their dna is not associated with histidine 3. Their cell wall almost al ways contain the complex polysaccharide peptidoglycan 4. They are very small
3. Their cell wall almost always contain the complex polysaccharide peptidoglycan The prokaryotic cell 1. Their genetic material (DNA) is not enclosed within a membrane and they lack other membrane – bounded organelles 2. Their DNA is not associated with histidine 4. They are very small!!

Prokaryotic cell wall The cell wall of the bacterial cell is a complex semi-rigid structure that is responsible for the characteristic shape of the cell. The cell wall surrounds the underlying, fragile plasma (cytoplasmic) membrane and protects it and internal parts of the cell from adverse changes in the surrounding environment Almost all prokaryotes have cell walls
• The cell wall of the bacterial cell is a complex, semi-rigid structure that is responsible for the characteristic shape of the cell. The cell wall surrounds the underlying, fragile plasma (cytoplasmic) membrane and protects it and internal parts of the cell from adverse changes in the surrounding environment. • Almost all prokaryotes have cell walls.

The original distinction between gram-positive and gram-negative was based on a special staining procedure, the Gram stain
