Prokaryotic cell with appendages

Clean textbook-style 2D illustration of a small oval to rod-shaped prokaryotic cell lacking a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. The cell has a thin plasma membrane with an outer cell wall or cell envelope, enclosing pale beige, light blue-green, or gray-blue lightly textured cytoplasm. A darker irregular to compact coiled nucleoid region occupies the center, with many tiny ribosome-like dots scattered throughout. The surface includes a few short pili or surface hairs, and may also include a short flagellum, giving a classic simplified bacterial appearance with modest external appendages.
