save my exams structure of prokaryotic and vs eukaryotic and viruses Flashcards
how dopro differ from euk
A cytoplasm that lacks membrane-bound organelles
Their ribosomes are structurally smaller (70 S) in comparison to those found in eukaryotic cells (80 S)
No nucleus (instead they have a single circular DNA molecule that is free in the cytoplasm and is not associated with proteins)
A cell wall that contains murein (a glycoprotein)
Plasmids
Capsules
Flagellum
what are plasmids
small loops of DNA that are separate from the main circular DNA molecule
Plasmids contain genes that can be passed between prokaryotes
whats a slime capsule for
helps to protect bacteria from drying out and from attack by cells of the immune system of the host organism
flagellum
long, tail-like structure that rotate, enabling the prokaryote to move (a bit like a propeller)
Some prokaryotes have more than one
prokartoic vs eukaryotic
pro is smaller
dna is not w histones
70s vs 80s ribsomes
no memb bound vs memb bound
peptidoglycan walal vs cellulose
structure of virus
non-cellular infectious particles
A nucleic acid core (their genomes are either DNA or RNA, and can be single or double-stranded)
A protein coat called a ‘capsid’
envelope formed usually from the membrane-phospholipids of a cell they were made in
ribosomes) to produce new viral particles
