two main types of cells
|
Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes
Both have DNA, cytoplasm, cell membrane |
|
Cell membrane = cytoplasmic membrane = plasma membrane
|
Mainly lipids and some proteins, which act as channels, enzymes, recognition proteins, etc
|
|
cell membrane function
|
Regulates passage of materials, energy storage, and light harvesting
Membrane is selectively permeable Movement passive or active (require ATP) |
|
diffusion
|
FIND
|
|
facilitated diffusion
|
special proteins from channels
|
|
osmosis
|
Movement of water across a membrane
Can be isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic |
|
active transport
|
Requires ATP to move molecules against a concentration gradient
Three main types of proteins |
|
group translocation
|
Occurs only in some prokaryotes
Molecule is altered as it is transported |
|
cell membrane is eukaryotes
|
have sterols
Eukaryotes lack group transport Endocytosis only in Eukaryotes |
|
Phagocytosis
Pinocytosis Exocytosis |
FIND
|
|
prokaryote structures
|
Glycocalces:
Outer coating If firmly attached is a capsule If water soluble then is a slime layer Capsule can allows attachment, or prevent detection |
|
flagella
|
Bacterial flagella have
three parts Filament, hook, basal body Filament composed of Flagellin Filament rotates 360 |
|
flagella arrangements
|
Polar or peritrichous
In spirochetes endoflagella spiral tightly around the cell |
|
flagella movement
|
Motion clockwise or counterclockwise
Move, pause, “tumble” Movement in response to stimuli called taxis |
|
fimbriae
|
are proteinaceous projections
100’s can occur on the surface of the cell Important in establishing biofilms |
|
pili
|
composed of pilin
Longer than fimbriae but shorter than flagella When they occur they range from 1-10 per cell pili can be extruded and then retracted Conjugation pili |
|
prokaryotes
|
Most prokaryotes have cell walls
Bacteria and Archeae have different cell walls Bacterial cells walls composed of peptidoglycans |
|
bacterial cell wall
|
N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid
Chains of sugars linked with tetrapeptides tetrapeptides themselves can be connected by amino acids |
|
gram positive cell wall
|
teichoic acids link to lipids to form lipoteichoic acids
Links cell wall to the cell membrane Cell wall is polar (negative) |
|
gram negative
|
Thin peptidoglycan layer surrounded by a second membrane
Outer membrane: Inner layer composed of phospholipids and proteins outer layer composed of lipopolysaccharides |
|
outer membrane
|
can prevent antibiotics from entering, but…
Treating gram-negative bacteria liberates lipid A from membrane can trigger fever, vasodilation, inflammation, shock, and blood clotting |
|
cytoplasm
|
Cytosol is liquid part of the cytoplasm
DNA in the nucleoid Inclusions Ribosomes, smaller than eukaryotes Cytoskeleton used to maintain shape |
|
Endospores
|
Two membranes and a spore coat form around the DNA and small portion of the cytoplasm
Dipicolinic acid, calcium, and DNA binding proteins Water is removed Creates very resistant structure |
|
eukaryotes
|
Glycocalyces, present in cells that lack a cell wall,
|
|
cell wall
|
Present in fungi, plants, algae, and some protozoa
Provides protection and mechanical support for the cell Composed of polysaccharides |
|
flagella and cilia
|
Flagella different in Eukaryotes
shaft of flagellum is composed of tubulin Nine pairs of microtubules form a ring around a pair of microtubules No hook structure |
|
eukaryote flagella movement
|
flagella undulate back and forth
No tumbles |
|
cilia
|
Short hair-like structures similar in composition to flagella, not present in prokaryotes
|
|
cytoskeleton
|
provides basic shape to cell, anchors and moves organelles
Composed of tubulin, microfilaments, actin and intermediate filaments |
|
centrioles and centrosome
|
Centrioles occur in pairs, located in “centrosome”
Plays role in mitosis |
|
Nucleus
|
contains Chromatin
Nuclear envelope surrounds nucleoplasm Nuclear pores |
|
Endoplasmic recticulum
|
Membrane continuous with the nuclear envelope
Two forms SER helps form lipids RER where some proteins created Ribosomes; larger than in prokaryotes |
|
Golgi bodies
|
site of protein modification
|
|
Lysosome
|
Lysosomes, peroxisomes, vacuoles, and vesicles
Vesicles and vacuoles can store lipids, starches, etc Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes Peroxisomes contain oxidase and catalase. Break down toxic metabolites |
|
Mitochondria
|
Outer membrane composed of two layers
Recycles ATP |
|
Chloroplast
|
In plants and algae
|
