Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes- nucleus
prokaryotes-pre nucleus
eukaryotes- true nucleus
Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes- DNA
prokaryotes
- DNA is not enclosed within a membrane
- DNA is singular and circularly arranged chromosome
- No histones in DNA
Eukaryotes
- DNA is found in cells nucleus
- DNA is found in multiple chromosomes
- DNA can have chromosomal proteins histones and nonhistones
what are histones?
special chromosomal proteins found in eukaryotes
Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes- organelles
prokaryotes
- generally lack organelles
- eukaryotes have multiple membrane enclosed organelles
what membrane enclosed organelles do eukaryotes have
mitochondria
ER
Golgi
Lysosomes
Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes- cell walls
prokaryotes
-cell walls contain the complex polysaccharide peptidoglycan
eukaryotes
- some have cell walls are chemically simple
Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes- cell division
prokaryote- cells divide by binary division (DNA is copied, cell splits into two cells)
eukaryote-
cells divide through mitosis (chromosomes replicate and split)
similarities of prokaryote and eukaryote
both have DNA plasma membrane cytoplasm ribosomes
plasma membrane is found
closest to the cytoplasm
then… cell wall then… capsule
plasmid
fragments of DNA
Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes- plasmid
prokaryote
-plasmid is common
eukaryote
-plasmid is rare
Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes- unicellular or multicellular
prokaryote
-unicellular
eukaryote
-mostly multicellular
transduction
The transfer of DNA from one cell to another by bacteriophage.
transformation
The process from which genes are transferred from one bacterium to another as a “naked” DNA solution OR the changing of a normal cell into a cancerous cell
meisosis
a eukaryotic cell replication processes that results in cells with half the chromosomes number of the original cells
binary fission
prokaryotic cell reproduction by division into two daughter cells
conjugation
the transfer of genetic material from one cell to another involving cell to cell contact
Bacteriophage
a virus that infects bacterial cells
gram positive vs gram negative cell membrane
gram positive cell membrane is much thinner and
gram negative is thicker…
an outer membrane on top of the pep
lysosomes
an enzyme capable of hydrolyzing bacterial cell walls
mitochondria
power house of cell. provides energy via krebs cycle and electron transport chain
golgi complex
secretes protiens
ER
connects nucleus… nuclear membrane and plasma membrane
Centrosome
contains protein fibers and pair of centrioles; involved in formation of the mitotic spindle
