Q

What is the properties of an Eukaryotic cell not in a Prokaryotic cell?

A

= major organelles are contained in a cell membrane
= has a ‘proper’ nucleus
= Usually have mitochondria, golgi apparatus ect…
= surface membrane where the cell is contained.

Q

In Eukaryotic cells where is the DNA located in the nucleus and what does this form?

A

= tightly wrapped around the protein Histone.
= DNA + histone protein forms chrosomes.
= tightly packed= great amount.v

Q

What kind of molecule is DNA in a Eukaryotic cell?

A

= linear molecule
= ends of the DNA molecule in a chrosome are not joined together to form a loop.

What is the endoplasmatic reticulum?

A

= sheets of flattened membranes- cisternae
= rough: ribosomes on the surface cell- protein synthesis for proteins secreted from the cell
membrane
= smooth: no ribosomes
=

Q

What are the golgi apparatus?

A

= has veciles and lysosmes that fuses with the protein, secretes from the cell, forms part of the cell, functions in the cytoplasm or oganisms
= genetically modify proteins- glycoproteins
= produces enzymes
= secrete carbohydrates
= stores/modify transport lipods
= labelled with their destinations]
=

Q

What is the cell wall?

A

= plants: made of microgillbrils, clellose gives

Q

What are the key differences between these cells?

A

= cells are smaller
= no membrane bound organelles
= smaller ribosomes
= no nucleus
= cell wall made from murien

contains:
= plasmids
= capsule around cell
= flagella

Q

Bacteria vs viruses interms of structures?

A

bacteria vs virus structure
= prokaryotic
= genetic information as a loop of DNA
virus:
= consist of just nucleic acid enclosed in protein coat- genetic information is mrna or rna
= viruses are smaller
= viruses do not have capsules, flaggelum, pili, ribisomes, cell wall, cytosopkas

17
Q

Bacteria vs viruses host requirements?

A

= bacteria does not require a host- to live
= viruses are reliant on hosts to survive
= v
