Bacterial cell

A small prokaryotic bacterial cell shown enlarged in simple textbook or educational clipart style as a compact short rod-shaped to slightly oval capsule with rounded ends and a smooth outer boundary. The cell is colored pale beige, tan, pink, yellow, or muted light green. A firm outer cell wall and thin inner plasma membrane enclose lightly translucent or lightly granular cytoplasm. Inside, there is no membrane-bound nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles; instead, a darker loosely coiled or tangled nucleoid DNA region is visible along with scattered tiny ribosome dots. The overall appearance is clean, simple, and self-contained, with minimal internal detail and no external surroundings.
