CH4 Flashcards
Theory of endosymboisis
- last common ancestor is likely a large organism with loose boundaries, has RNA as genetic material
- individual cells form, genetic material become DNA
- pre-eukaryotic cells engulfed bacteria, they become mitochondria or chloroplasts in eventual eukaryotic cells
Flagella
motility, move towards nutrients and positive stimuli, and away from harmful substances
Cilia
shorter and more numerous than flagella
Glycocalyx in Eukaryotic cells
outermost layer that comes in contact with environment
composed of polysaccharide, and appears as fibers, slime layer, or capsule
Eukaryotic nucleus
site of majority of DNA (linear shape)
functions of glycocalyx in eukaryotic cells
protection
adherence of cells to surface
reception of signals from other cells/environment
Cytoplasmic membrane in eukaryotic cells
serves as a permeable barrier
cell wall in fungi cells
rigid and provide structural support
different in chemical composition compared to prokaryotic cell walls
thick layer of polysaccharide fibers composed of chitin/cellulose
thin outer layer of mixed glycans
Eukaryotic Cytoplasmic membrane
-Bilayer phospholipid protein
-serves as a selectively permeable barrier
Eukaryote Nucleus
-Linear chromosome
