Q

prokaryotes

A

no compartmen=no nucleus
1 cell membrane
circular DNA in the cytoplasm
ribosome
maybe cell wall or flagella
fungi-hyphase-release to food soruce-digest
every 20 minutes cell division

Q

why are prokaryotic cells so small?

A

Because prokaryotic cells lack organelles, their cellular processes aren’t as efficient as eukaryotic cells,

Q

advantages of prokaryotic cells

A

rapid reproduction,

rapid mutation and adaptation to new

environments,
more diverse metabolic systems

Eukaryotic life, including all multicellular organisms, could not exist without prokaryotes

Q

eukaryotic cell organelles

A

Plasma Membrane:It is the outer covering of each cell made up of lipids, proteins, and a small number of carbohydrates.

Cell Wall:Present in plants and fungi and presents outside the plasma membrane. cellulose (plant) or chitin (fungi).

Nucleus: Bounded by two nuclear membranes forming a nuclear envelope. The nuclear envelope is connected to the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Endoplasmic Reticulum: Produce lipids (fats) and steroid hormones, involved in detoxifying a number of organic chemicals converting them to safer water-soluble products

Golgi apparatus:It is absent in bacteria, blue-green algae, mature sperms and red blood cells of mammals and other animals. Its main function issecretory.

Lysosomes: there are digestive enzymes

Vacuoles:a kind of storage sacs.It helps to maintain the osmotic pressure in a cell and provide turgidity and rigidity to the plant cells.

Centrosome:is found only in animal cells. As it helps in cell division for the separation of chromosomes by spindle fiber

Peroxisomes:They carry out some oxidative reactions

PLASTID:Present in plant cells and is absent in animal cells,
Chromoplasts(coloured plastids) : various colours to flowers.
Chloroplasts(Green-coloured plastids) are present in green algae and higher plants
Leucoplasts(colourless plastids) store food in the form of carbohydrates (starch), fats and proteins.

Mitochondria:organelles where eukaryotes extract energy from their food by cellular respiration.

Q

Endosymbiotic theory explains the origin of mitochondria and chloroplast

A

The structures and genomes are basically similar between mitochondria and Rickettsial bacteria

It has its own DNA-Circular DNA
Mutation in mtDNA
Diabetes-deafness-muscle

Evolved from bacteria because;
Double membrane: its original and host membrane(porin-cardiolipin)

Q

chloroplast

A

Present in green algae and higher plants. They have a green pigment called chlorophyll and help in the photosynthesis of food.

photosynthesis equation:
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H1206 + 602

cellular respiration:
C6H1206 + 602 =6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Q

cytoskeleton

A

It is a network of proteins. These proteins underlie membranes, giving them shape and support, much like scaffolding can support a building

17
Q

plant cells have Centrosomes and centrioles

A

false
