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
