| − | Bacteria are usually surrounded by a cell wall consisting of [[peptidoglycan]], and are filled with cytoplasm. Ribosomes within the cytoplasm are responsible for translating the circular bundle of DNA into functional proteins. Some bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, have tightly packed inner membrane folds, which forms a membrane across which photosynthesis can occur<ref>http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/bacteria/bacteriamm.html</ref>. | + | Bacteria are usually surrounded by a cell wall consisting of [[peptidoglycan]], and are filled with cytoplasm.
