Microbial Cell Structure and FunctionMicrobial cell structure and Function Microbial cell areincredibility diverse In terms of their size, shape, andfunction. However, all microbal cells share somecommon features in terms of their basic Structureand Function. in this lecture, we will discuis thekey features of microbial cell structure and function ,including cell walls, membranes and organelles.cell Walls: One of the most distintive featuresof microbial cell is their cell walls. Cell walls arerigid structures that provide shape and support to thecell. The composition of cell walls can varywidely depending on the type of microbe.Membranes Another ky Feature of microbial cellsis their membranes. Membranes are composed of alipid bilayen that surrounds the cell separates itFrom the external environment. Membranes play acircial role in regulating what enters and leaves the cell,Organelles: Eurory otic cells Contain a variety oforganilles that performs specific functions for example,mitochondrics are organelles that are responsible forgenerating energy through cellular respiration. Chloroplastare organelles found in plant cells that are responsibleFor photocyntesis.
