that Discovery of cell II Flashcards
Cellular reproduction of prokaryote to eukaryote
Eukaryote-mitosis
Prokaryote- binary fission
Locomotion
eukaryote-cillia and flagella
prokaryote- flagella
Evolutionarily related species that live in extremely inhospitable environment, also referred to as __
Archaea, or extremophiles
example fo extremophiles
Acidophile- acid loving
thermophiles- high tempt
Methanogens- convert co2 and h2 into methane
how many prokaryotes are identified
6000
most complex eukaryotic cells are found where
protists
have contractile ribbon in the stalk and a large macronucleus
Vorticella
pathogens consisting of a small, naked RNA molecule, which can cause disease by interfering with gene expression
viroids
types of viral infections
- Lytic infection- after infecting the host, the host cell lyses and releases more virus
- Integration-virus integrates its DNA (provirus) in host cell’s chromosome
example of multicellularity that has risen from single-celled organism
Volvox
major challenge in artificial organ development
Biocompatibility
Strategies to combat biocompatibility
1/ Tissue engineering- enhanced cell culture
2. Making replacement organ- relies on ability of cells to self-assemble into 3D aggregates or organoids.
