What are prokaryotes (2)
Bacteria and Archaea
What kingdoms are Eukaryotes
Animals, plants, fungi, protists
Which has a nucleoid
prokaryotes
Which has a nucleus
Eukaryotes
Which has one or more linear chromosomes
Eukaryotes
Which has circular chromosomes and plasmids
Prokaryotes
which can be multicellular
Eukaryotes
which ones are only small in size
prokaryotes
which has membrane bound organelles
Eukaryotes
What are 5 elements common to all living cells
the genetic information paradigm, plasma membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, cytoskeleton
what is the genetic information paradigm
process of turning DNA to RNA into proteins
process to turn DNA to RNA
Transcription using an RNA polymerase (enzyme)
process to turn RNA to a protein
Translation using ribosomes (outside the nucleus)
what is the plasma membrane made of
a phospholipid bilayer
purpose of the plasma membrane
enclosing what is happening in the cell, and overseeing transportation in and out of the cell
what is in cytoplasm
cytosol and organelles
what is cytosol and what is in it
a potassium salt water, filled with macromolecules, metabolic activities, etc.
what does a ribosome do
reads the mRNA, using the instructions to create proteins
where are ribosomes located
on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
what is the purpose of the cytoskeleton
provide more structure for the cell internally
what does the cytoskeleton contribute to
cell division, shape, intracellular support, etc.
