Q

why is cell size limited

A

they rely on diffusion to move materials and diffusion is only quick over short distances.

Q

characteristics of prokaryotes

A
  • unicellular
  • small
  • genome is one loop of double stranded DNA
  • cell division done by binary fission
  • evolve within a generation
  • no internal compartments

18
Q

conjugation (prokaryotic evolution)

A

cell to cell contact via plasmids

19
Q

transduction (prokaryotic evolution)

A

made by mistakes in the lysogenic cycle

20
Q

transformation (prokaryotic evolution)

A

picking up DNA from the environment

21
Q

bacteria vs archaea plasma membrane

A

bacteria have ester bonds

archaea have ether bonds

22
Q

bacteria vs archaea cell wall

A

bacteria have peptidoglycan

cell wall has aa’s and carbs

23
Q

bacteria vs archaea gene expression

A

archaea= eukaryotes

bacteria=different ribosomes and codons

24
Q

Archaeal diversity crenarchaeota

A

extreme temperatures or PH

25
Archaeal diversity euryarchaeota
methanogens & halophiles
26
Archaeal diversity korarchaeota
everything else
27
Bacterial diversity bacillus
rod shaped
28
Bacterial diversity coccus
spherical
29
Bacterial diversity spirillum
spiral shaped
30
cytoskeleton
- protein fibers - -determines shape - keep organelles in same spot - moves vesicles
31
endomembrane system
series of membranes within cell - divides cell - major difference between proks and euks
32
vesicles
isolate material from the rest of the cell
33
nucleus
stores DNA
34
nucleuoles
region where rRNA for ribosomes are made
35
endoplasmic reticulum
RER- ribosomes to make proteins | SER- synthesis for carbs, lipid and steroids
36
Golgi Apparatus
stack of membranes | -protein folding
37
Golgi Apparatus
stack of membranes | -protein folding
38
mitochondria
inner membrane folded for surface area | -has enzymes that carry out aerobic respiration
39
chloroplasts
- thylakoids (inner membranes) - | - contain chlorophyll
40
Extracellular Matrix
animal cells don't have cell walls | -secrete glycoproteins as a protective layer
41
tight junction (cell connections)`
connected plasma membrane
42
desmosome (cell connections)
connected cytoskeletons
43
Gap junction (cell connections)
pore for chemical signals
