ch.4 prokaryotic cells Flashcards
prokaryotics have two domains:
archaea and bacteria
prokaryotics cells do not have
-an internal membrane system
-numerous membrane-bounded organelles
3 purposes of cell walls
- protect the cell
- maintain its shape
- prevent excessive uptake or loss of water
cells walls of ______ are more diverse than _____, containing polysaccharides and proteins, and possibly even inorganic components.
archaea, bacteria
________ membrane lipids include saturated hydrocarbons that are covalently attached to glycerol at both ends, which forms a monolayer membrane.
Archaeal
bacterial _____ consists of protein rings embedded in the plasma membrane, and a cell wall w/ long protein fibers extending from this.
flagella
bacterial _____ consists of protein rings embedded in the plasma membrane, and a cell wall w/ long protein fibers extending from this.
flagella
what features do bacteria and archaea share
-both tend to be single cells that lack a membrane-bounded nucleus, and lack extensive internal endomembrane systems.
-both have a cell wall.
-do not undergo mitosis.
