What type of organisms are made up of prokaryotic cells?
Bacteria
Why type of organisms are made up of eukaryotic cells?
Everything but bacteria
Where does ATP take place in prokaryotes?
In invaginations of the cell membrane called mesosomes.
What is a membrane feature of prokaryotes?
They have only the cell surface membrane and therefore do not contain membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplast
What can be found in a prokaryotic cell which is not found in a eukaryotic cell?
Plasmids - very small loops of DNAand a nucleoid - DNA NOT surrounded by a membrane
What is the cell wall of a prokaryote made of?And what is the average size of a prokaryote?
Peptidoglycan1-5um
What is the cell membrane of a prokaryote made of?
Phospholipid Bilayer.
What is the size of a eukaryote nucleus?
10-20nm
Name the shell of the nucleus and its function
Nucleur envelope, to seperate DNA from cell content.
What does the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope join with?
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
What does the nucleolus contain?
Chromatin, dark staining area of nucleus.DNA coding for rRNA (ribosomal RNA)
Two features and one function of ribosome
Made of rRNA and protein and attached to Rough ER or found free.Protein synthesis
PA - NO LM
Two features and one function of Rough ER
Consists of flattened membrane bound sacs called cisternae and studded with ribosome.Transports proteins made from attached ribosome - secreted from cell.
PA
Two features and one function of Smooth ER
Consists of flattened membrane bound sacs called cisternae and have no ribosomes.Synthesis of lipids and steroid hormones.
PA
Describe the stages of function of the Golgi Body
Proteins + Lipids move through Golgi body via vesicles budding off one compartment and fusing with one below.
RER -> Cis-Golgi network (returns any proteins wrongly sent to Golgi) -> Stack of cisternae (processes proteins and lipids and directs to destination [into lysosomes]) -> Trans-Golgi (sorts proteins and lipds and directs to destination) -> vesicles
Stack of curved cisternae + Surrounded by many vesicles
Modification of proteins
