Microba
■ Thick, complex outer envelope. The envelope protects the cell from
environmental stress and predators. It also mediates exchange with the
environment and communication with other organisms.
■ Compact genome. Prokaryotic genomes are compact, with relatively little
noncoding DNA. Small genomes maximize the production of cells from limited
resources.
■ Tightly coordinated cell functions. The cell’s subcellular parts work together
in a highly coordinate mechanism. Coordinate action enables high reproduction
rate.
