The ​ (a)   float in the cytoplasm of the cell and are the site of protein synthesis.

• ribosomes
• flagella
• plasmid
• nucleoid

The ​ (a)   protects the cell and acts as a 'sticky' layer.

• capsule
• cell wall
• plasma membrane
• pili

In a prokaryote cell, the ​ (a)   , which is a large bundle of DNA, floats in the cytoplasm.

• nucleoid
• ribosomes
• plasmid
• capsule

The middle layer between the capsule and the plasma membrane is known as the ​ (a)   .

• cell wall
• pili
• flagella
• nucleoid

If a cell's ​ (a)   ​ was injured or destroyed, the cell would no longer be able to move.

• flagella
• capsule
• plasma membrane
• plasmid
