Q

Prokaryotic Cells characteristics

A
  • Uni cellular organisms
  • No membrane enclosed nucleus
  • Some form colony to build an organism, supporting cell theory
    ~~~

~~~

  • Reproduce by inserting pili into another and diffuse DNA containing plasmids into other bacteria
  • Capsule made from polysaccharides
  • Cell wall Made from peptidoglycan
  • Cell membrane Plasma bilayer
  • Chromosomes Floats in cytoplasm

Q

Types of Prokarytotes

A

Bacteria
- peptidoglycan = major constituent of cell wall

Q

Plasma Membrane

A
  • All cells contain a plasma membrane
  • Made up of phospholipid bilayer with proteins and cholesterol
  • Amphipathic (hydrophobic & hydrophilic)
  • Allows for compartmentalisation
  • Cholesterol stabilizes it

[heft]
Phosphate + 3 Carbon + 3 fatty acid chains

Q

Barriers (Compartmentalization)

A
  • Imnportant as only 1 membrane would have no structure and everything inside the cell would mix and potentially destroy each other
  • Compartmentalization evolved with cells over time, allowing organelles to form
  • Creates different environments inside the cell
