Unit 2 Flashcards
Unicellular organism that lacks organelles or other
internal-membrane bound structures.
* Can be found in domain (Archaea and Bacteria)
* Lacks nucleus but have nucleoid.
Prokaryotic Cells
3 types of bacterias
Bacteria, Cyanobacteria, Actinobacteria
3 types of Archaebacteria
Halobacterium, Thermococci, Methanogens
- A membrane-bound nucleus, a central cavity surrounded by membrane that houses
the cell’s genetic material. - A number of membrane-bound organelles, compartments with specialized functions
that float in the cytosol. - They are packed with a fascinating array of subcellular structures that play important
roles in energy balance, metabolism, and gene expression.
Eukaryotic Cells
(Eukar vs Prokar) Definition: Any cell that contains a clearly defined nucleus and membrane bound organelles
