characteristics of cells
|
all living things are composed of cells
cells are the basic unit of structure and function of all living things all cells are produced from other cells |
|
modern cell theory
|
cells perform the functions of life
|
|
robert hooke
|
(invented microscope) – Cellulae (Latin “small rooms”)
– Observed cork cells (dead) |
|
matthias schleden
|
identified plants were multi cellular with individual functioning units
|
|
theodor schwann
|
Reported that animal cells, like plants consisted of multiple independent units.
|
|
prokaryotes
|
small simple structure
non membrane bound organelles cytoplasm is surrounded by plasma membrane and encased n a rigid cell wall composed of peptidoglycan flagella for movement adherence and protection- slime layers, pili or fimbriae act like velcro usually a 1 or rarely 2 circular dna strand coiled into nucleoid |
|
plasmids
|
small extra chromosomal dna
replicate independently of cell plasmids are considered transferable genetic elements autonomous replication within a suitable host |
|
bacteria normally reproduce....
|
aesexually, by themselves
|
|
features of eukaryotes
|
much larger than prokaryotes
more complex structurally than prokaryotes |
|
eukaryotes
|
Mitosis
• Development, growth, maintenance, repair, asexual reproduction – Meiosis • Basis of sexual reproduction |
|
aesexual reproduction in eukaryotes
|
ormation of offspring without the union of male and female gametes
– Offspring are “clones” – Common in protists, and some multicellular organisms like sponges, hydra, and some plants |
|
endosymbiont theory
|
Eukaryotes posses membrane bound organelles. • Postulates that
– The mitochondria of eukaryotes evolved from aerobic bacteria living within their host cell. – The chloroplasts of eukaryotes evolved from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria. |
|
parthenogenesis
|
is an aesexual form orf reproduction found in females, not limited... in reptiles, sharks, rarely birds, fish
|
|
key feature of eukaryotic cells
|
compartmentalization- organelles
|
|
mitochondria
|
energy centers
|
|
which parts of a cell are not in animal cells, but in plants
|
centrral vacuole, cell wall, chloroplast
|
|
evidence of the edosymbiont theory
|
• Similar construction and composition of external
cell membranes. • Organelles divide by simple fusion similar to bacteria. Genetic material is circular, like that seen in bacteria. • Divide genetic materials separate from the cell which it is in. • Have their own mechanisms of DNA repair and replication. |
|
aspects of an animal cell, not in plant cells
|
centriole, lysosome, flagellum
|
|
plasma membrane
|
completely surrounds each cell
regulates exchange communicates with other cells |
|
phospholipids
|
– Hydrophilic heads form outer
borders – Hydrophobic tails ‘hide’ inside bilayer |
|
fluid mosaic model
|
Proteins are embedded
within the bilayer – Move freely or are anchored to filaments |
|
selectively permeable
|
Allow some substances to cross, but not others
