Prokryote And Eukaryote Cells Flashcards
What is the dna like in a prokaryote cell
Have 1 molecule of dna which is a chromosome which is supercoiled to make it more compact
What are ribosomes like in prokaryote cell
Size determined by rate at which they settle or form
They are necessary for protein synthesis
What is the cell wall made of in a prokaryote cell
Peptidoglycan
Aka murein
A complex polymer formed from amino acids and sugars
How is the flagella attached
It’s attached to cell membrane of a bacterium by a basal body
What is dna like in a eukaryote cell
It’s multiple chromosomes supercooled together and each one wraps around a number of proteins called histones
What is a chromatin
A complex contained with Histones which form a efficient packaging
How do prokaryotes reproduce
By binary fission
