Cells: Prokaryote vs Eukaryote
Cells have evolved two different architectures:
Prokaryote “style”Eukaryote “style”
Prokaryote cells are smaller and simpler
Commonly known as bacteria10-100 microns in sizeSingle-celled(unicellular) orFilamentous (strings of single cells)
These are prokaryote E. coli bacteria on the head of a steel pin.
Prokaryote cells are simply built (example: E. coli)
capsule: slimy outer coatingcell wall: tougher middle layercell membrane: delicate inner skin
cytoplasm: inner liquid fillingDNA in one big looppilli: for sticking to thingsflagella: for swimmingribosomes: for building proteins
Prokaryote cells are simply built (example: E. coli)
Prokaryote lifestyleunicellular: all alonecolony: forms a filmfilamentous: forms a chain of cells
Eukaryotes are bigger and more complicated
Have organellesHave chromosomescan be multicellularinclude animal and plant cells
Organelles are membrane-bound cell parts
Mini “organs” that have unique structures and functionsLocated in cytoplasm
Cell membranedelicate lipid and protein skin around cytoplasmfound in all cells
Cell Structures
Nucleusa membrane-bound sac evolved to store the cell’s chromosomes(DNA)has pores: holes
Nucleolusinside nucleuslocation of ribosome factor.
mitochondrion makes the cell’s energythe more energy the cell needs, the more mitochondria it has
Ribosomesbuild proteins from amino acids in cytoplasmmay be free-floating, ormay be attached to ERmade of RNA
Endoplasmic reticulum
may be smooth: builds lipids and carbohydratesmay be rough: stores proteins made by attached ribosomes
Golgi Complextakes in sacs of raw material from ERsends out sacs containing finished cell products
Lysosomessacs filled with digestive enzymesdigest worn out cell partsdigest food absorbed by cell
Centriolespair of bundled tubesorganize cell division
Cytoskeletonmade of microtubulesfound throughout cytoplasmgives shape to cell & moves organelles around inside.
Structures found in plant cellsCell wall
very strongmade of celluloseprotects cell from rupturingglued to other cells next door
Vacuolehuge water-filled sackeeps cell pressurizedstores starch
Chloroplastsfilled with chlorophyllturn solar energy into food energy
