Cells
- Prokaryotic
- Bacteria
- Eukaryotic
- Animals
- Plants
- Fungi
- Components in a Bacterium
- DNA
Anmerkungen:
- Single circular molecule of DNA not associated with protein and free in the cytoplasm
Carries genetic codes for proteins
- Cell Wall
Anmerkungen:
- Contains Murein: a glycoprotein
Prevents osmotic lysis
Rigid and strengthening
- Cytoplasm
- Cell surface membrane
Anmerkungen:
- Phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins
Controls passage of substances across exchange surfaces by passive processes and active transport
- Ribosomes
Anmerkungen:
- Small structure in cytoplasm
Protein Synthesis
- Flagellum
Anmerkungen:
- Thin rotating fibre
Responsible for movement of the cell
- Plasmids
Anmerkungen:
- 1 or more small loops of DNA, can replicate independently.
Passes genetic info via conjugation to other bacteria
- Capsule
Anmerkungen:
- Extra layer around cell wall
Protects from desiccation, phagocytosis and some pathogens
- Components in animal cells
- Plasma Membrane
Anmerkungen:
- Phospholipid bilayer which contains proteins
Selectively permeable
Allows cell identification
- Nucleus
Anmerkungen:
- Surrounded by a nuclear envelope with nuclear pores. Nucleolus and chromatin (DNA and protein) are present.
Contains genetic codes for making proteins. Nucleolus manufactures ribosomes
- Mitochondrion
Anmerkungen:
- Surrounded by 2 membranes- Inner membrane folded & forms cristae
Fluid inside is the matrix
Produces ATP from aerobic respiration
ATP= energy store used by cells for processes like active transport and protein synthesis
- Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Anmerkungen:
- Series of tubes in cytoplasm of cell. Appears rough due to ribosomes attached
Synthesis and transport of proteins through cytoplasm
- Ribosomes
Anmerkungen:
- Small organelle not surrounded by membrane
Protein synthesis
- Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Anmerkungen:
- Series of tubes in cytoplasm with no ribosomes attached.
Synthesises and transports lipids
- Golgi Apparatus and Vesicles
Anmerkungen:
- Stack of flattened sacs. Vesicles bud off from the ends of the sacs.
Modifies proteins that are in the cell and packages them into vesicles.
Forms lysosomes
- Lysosomes
Anmerkungen:
- Membrane bound organelle containing digestive enzymes.
Digest unwanted material in the cell
- Components in Plant Cells
- Majority of the same as animals
- Cell Wall
Anmerkungen:
- Made of cellulose, has a high tensile strength. Prevents osmotic lysis
- Vacoule
Anmerkungen:
- Filled with sap- a weak solution of sugars and salts.
Helps give the cell rigidity
- Chloroplasts
Anmerkungen:
- Typically in the mesophyll cell in leaves. Allows photosynthesis to take place.
- Viruses
- NOT CELLS... acellular
- Genetic Material
Anmerkungen:
- Capsid
Anmerkungen:
- Attachment protein
Anmerkungen:
- Allows virus to attach to host cell thus use that cells machinery to replicate.
Complementary to receptors on host cell membrane
- Cell Fractionation
- 1. Cells broken open by homogeniser
- Cell debris is filtered leaving a suspension
- 2, Ultracentrifugation
- Resultant suspension is centrifuged at low speed
- Most dense organelle is seperated
- Rest are still suspended in supernatant
- Supernatant poured into separate tube and spun faster
- Nuclei is most likely to be first separated (most dense), then mitochondria, lysosomes, ribosmes
- Conditions
- Buffer
Anmerkungen:
- Controls PH level to be constant so denaturation of enzymes and proteins will be prevented
- Cold temp
Anmerkungen:
- reduce enzyme activity to prevent digestion of organelles
- Isotonic
