multiple choice
some of the functions of the eukaryotic organelles are performed in bacteria by the:
○ flagella/cilia.
○ capsule.
○ cell wall.
○ plasma membrane.
○ nucleoid area.
Eukaryotic organelles carry out specialized functions like energy production, protein synthesis, and transport. In bacteria (prokaryotes), the plasma membrane performs many of these roles: it is involved in energy generation (via a proton gradient), nutrient transport, and metabolic reactions that eukaryotes compartmentalize in organelles. Other structures have more limited roles: flagella/cilia handle movement, the capsule aids in protection/adhesion, the cell wall provides structure, and the nucleoid holds genetic material.
