The ultrastructure of cells is
everything that can be seen with an electromicroscope.
-
SEM:
Scanning electron micrograph (2D)
-
TEM:
Transmittance electron micrograph (3D)
-
The nucleus is a double
membrane structure
-
Prokaryotic:
before nucleus
-
-
Genetic Material:
is free in Prokaryotic cells (DNA form)
is in the nucleus in Eukaryotic Cells (DNA)
-
Nucleoid Region:
one circular molecule in prokaryotic cells
several, open ended molecules in eukaryotic cells
-
ribosomes:
70s ribosomes in prokaryotic cells
80s ribosomes in eukaryotic cells
-
mitochondria:
no mitochondria in prokaryotic cells
yes mitochondria in eukaryotic cells
-
membrane bound organelles:
no membrane bound organelles in prokaryotic cells
internal compartmentalization through membrane bound organelles in eukaryotic cells
-
size:
smaller prokaryotic cells
way bigger eukaryotic cells
-
ribosomes are the only organelles
that are not membraned.
-
Coli Pilli:
smol lines coming from cell membrane used for attachment and sexual reproduction
-
Coli Capsule:
The outest part of the E. Coli made of polysaccharides used for attachment
-
Coli Cell Wall:
Is between capsule and plasma membrane used for protection and shaping. Made out of peptidoglycan
-
Coli Plasma Membrane:
Way inside, controls the entry and exit of substances
Does binary fission (reproduction)
-
E. Coli Nucleoid of DNA:
All information is encoded in the DNA
-
Coli Plasmid:
Contains extra genetic info
Cells could function without a plasmid
-
Coli Cytoplasm:
All metabolic reactions take place
Is not compartmentalized
-
Coli Ribosomes:
Smol dots, protein synthesis
-
Coli Flagellum:
Long lines coming from bottom of cell
Allows movement
-
Binary Fission:
Simple form of cell division
Asexual reproduction
-
3 Steps: binary fission
- DNA replication
- The two DNA loops attach to the membrane in opposite poles
- Membrane elongates and pinches off (cytokinesis) forming two separate, identical cells
In ideal conditions, can divide every 20 min, which leads to exponential growth
In eukaryotes, some organelles also undergo binary fission
-
Extracellular matrix
- eukaryotic cells
- keeps the cells together. The ECM allows cell-to-cell interactions, possibly altering gene expression and enabling the coordination of cell actions within the tissue.
-
eukaryotic cells
Are compartmentalized
Toxic damaging substances can be isolated
pH and other such factors can be kept at optimal levels (localized)
More efficient metabolism (enzymes and substrates are localized and much more concentrated as they are not spread in the cytoplasm)
Special functions are localized (organelles)
-
Chloroplast:
Has a double membrane and is about the size of a bacteria. Is only present in algae and plant cells. Produces glycose and various other organic compounds through photosynthesis
-
Nucleus: Nucleus:
- is bordered by a double membrane referred to as the nuclear envelope. (compartmentalization of DNA, allows for chemical reactions)
- Has nuclear pores which provide communication of nucleus with the cell and a dense area inside the nucleus which is the nucleolus (ribosome synthesis)
-
Mitochondria: :
Powerhouse of the cell. Have their own ribosomes and DNA. Are folded inside into crista, to achieve more space. The inner membrane is filled with a semi-liquid called matrix.
-
Golgi Apparatus:
collection, packaging,
modification, and distribution of materials synthesized in the
cell.
prevalent in glandular cells, such as those in the pancreas, which manufacture and secrete substances.
-
Lysosomes:
intracellular digestive centres that arise from the Golgi apparatus.
breakdown of materials (usually not seen in plant cells) Very dark and dense.
-
Ribosomes:
Protein synthesis, no membrane, are made of RNA and protein, are denser and larger in eukaryotic cells
-
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum:
Protein synthesis and transportation
-
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum:
Lipid synthesis and transportation
-
Plant vs. Animal Cells
Cell Wall: No cell wall in animals, cell wall in plants
Chloroplast: yes in plants, no chloroplast in animals
Vacuole: large, central in plants, no or v smol in animals
Carbonhydrates: stores as starch in plants, stored as glycogen in animals
Centrioles: no centrosomes in plants, centrosomes in animals
Flagella, cilia: None in plants, yes in animals
