Q

Differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes

A

Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles (such as the nucleus and mitochondria), while prokaryotic cells do not

Q

G protein coupled receptors

A
  • Adenylyl cyclase-enzyme that synthesizes cAMP
  • receive signals from the environment, such as light, nutrients, and other cells, and translate them into actions within the cell.

Q

Prokaryotes and eukaryotes chromosomes

A

Eukaryotes have telomers and histones
Telomeres: protect and reserve DNA from degradation
Histones: bind to DNA, help give chromosomes their shape, and help control the activity of genes (restricted to archaean cells and eukaryotic cells)

Q

archaea vs bacteria

A

-both are single celled prokaryotes
-archaea lack peptidoglycan found in most bacteria; often found in extreme environments

Q

Rough ER vs Smooth ER

A

-the rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, giving it a “rough” appearance–mainly for protein synthesis

-the smooth ER lacks ribosomes, mainly for lipid synthesis and detoxification process

17
Q

Protein Professing

A

Golgi-function as factories
–>Secretory vesicles

18
Q

Overview of Mitosis

A

Microtubules–>produce mitotic spindle
