Prokaryotic
-lack of nucleus; and other membrane organelles
-single celled organisms
-Domains: Archea and bacteria
-0.5-2 um in diameter
-large surface to volume ration (3:1)
Archea
no diesease causing organisms; thermophiles, e
Eukaryotic
-contain a nucleus and other membrane bound structures
-plants, animals, fungi, protists
Bacteria arrangement
-Diplo (2) - in on plane
-tetra (4) - in two planes
-sarcinan (8)- in three planes
-Bacillus- in one plane end to end making chains; rods that make chains
prokaryotic peptidoglycan components
- Sugar backbone
2.tetra peptide crosslinkers - penta glycine bridge
prokaryotic peptidoglycan function
-maintains shape
-prevent lysis
-water passes thru via osmosis
-no real regulation of materials
if peptidoglycan is enzymatically dissolved
