structutre of prokaryotic cells and viruses Flashcards
what is the structure of a prokayryotic cell
always have
cell surface membrane
cell wall- contains meurin a glycoprotein
cytoplasm
small ribosomes
circular DNA - free in cytoplasm, not associated with proteins
sometimes have
capsule
plasmids - small rings of DNA
flagella
compare eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
e has membrane bound organelles, p has no memnbrane bound organelles
e has nucleus containing DNA, p has no nucleus DNA free in cytoplasm
e has long linear DNA assosciated with proteins, p has short circular DNA not associated with proteins
e has larger roibosomes 80s, p has smaller ribosomes 70s
e cell walls contain cellulose or chitin, p cell walls contain meurin
what is the structure of a virus
acellular and non living
nucleic acid surrounded by capsid
attachment proteins allow attachment to specific host cells
no cytoplasm, cell wall, ribosomes, cell membrane etc
some surrounded by lipid envelope
