The capsule is a polysaccharide layer external to the cell wall in some bacteria. It is also termed the "glycoalyx". It is not a specific structure. In the diagram here, it would be part of the outer surface of the outer membrane. Probably, it should not appear in the diagram for that reason.
Unlike cells of animals and other eukaryotes, bacterial cells do not contain a nucleus and rarely harbour membrane-bound organelles. Although the term bacteria traditionally included all prokaryotes, the scientific classification changed after the discovery in the 1990s that prokaryotes consist of two very different groups of organisms that ...

Cell biology is the study of the structural and functional units of cells. Cell biology encompasses both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and has many subtopics which may include the study of cell metabolism, cell communication, cell cycle, biochemistry, and cell composition. The study of cells is performed using several microscopy techniques ...
