Prokaryote

Clean 2D educational microbiology schematic of a tiny single-celled prokaryotic microbe, shown enlarged as an oval, short rod, rounded rod, or occasionally spherical bacterial cell with a smooth outer boundary representing the cell envelope, cell wall, and plasma membrane. The interior is pale beige, tan, light green, blue-green, pale blue, light pink, or gray-green, with minimal structure and no visible nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, or internal compartments. A diffuse to loosely coiled darker nucleoid DNA region appears near the center, with scattered tiny ribosome-like dots or granules throughout the lightly textured cytoplasm. Some versions include a few short hairlike surface appendages such as pili, and optionally one or more flagella extending from the cell.
