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

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

bacteria vs archaea gene expression

A

archaea= eukaryotes

bacteria=different ribosomes and codons

24

A

spiral shaped

30
Q

cytoskeleton

A
  • protein fibers
  • -determines shape
  • keep organelles in same spot
  • moves vesicles
31
Q

endomembrane system

A

series of membranes within cell

  • divides cell
  • major difference between proks and euks
32
Q

vesicles

A

isolate material from the rest of the cell

33
Q

nucleus

A

stores DNA

34
Q

nucleuoles

A

region where rRNA for ribosomes are made

35
Q

endoplasmic reticulum

A

RER- ribosomes to make proteins

SER- synthesis for carbs, lipid and steroids

36
Q

Golgi Apparatus

A

stack of membranes

-protein folding

37
Q

Golgi Apparatus

A

stack of membranes

-protein folding

38
Q

mitochondria

A

inner membrane folded for surface area

-has enzymes that carry out aerobic respiration

39
Q

chloroplasts

A
  • thylakoids (inner membranes) -

- contain chlorophyll

40
Q

Extracellular Matrix

A

animal cells don’t have cell walls
