In the image, we have a procaryote cell, as we can see there are no nucleus or defined organelles. So we have to identify structures.

A__Ribosomes this is where protein synthesis is done, and are freely distributed in the cytoplasm.

B__Cpasule is the outer layer formed by polysaccharides, it tends to have a viscous texture.

C__Cell wall is a resistant and rigid layer, just between the plasmatic membrane and capsule.

D__Plasma membrane, which is a lipidic bi-layer, and is the inner layer of the cell.

E__Pilus, in some cases these hair-like structures are called pilus, but there are also known as fimbriae.

F__DNA, we can identify it because is the biggest structure in the cell

G__Cytoplasm is the inner medium, where DNA plasmids and ribosomes are imbued.

H__Plasmid, these are small sequences of DNA that confer diverse characteristics to the cell involved in antibiotic resistance.

I___Flagellum is easy to identify due to their resemblance with a tail.
