TRUE OR FALSE QUESTIONS 1. Ribosomes float in the cytosol(cytoplasm) of the prokaryotic cell. This is no endoplasmic
reticulum to attach to.
2. A large mass of DNA is found in the nucleoid region in the cell. There is no nucleus to
contain the DNA. Prokaryotic DNA is actually circular in shape.
3. There are also smaller pieces of circular DNA called plasmids. Plasmids can be shared
with other prokaryotic cells.
4. Pili are small extensions of the cell membrane and can be used to touch other
prokaryotes.
5. The outer most layer of many prokaryotic cells is called the capsule.
6. The middle layer between the cell membrane and the capsule is the cell wall.
7. The cell membrane contains all of the cytoplasm/cytosol, ribosomes, and DNA within the
cell.
8. Many, but not all, prokaryotic cells have flagella that help them move.
