Eukaryotic vs Prokaryotic

- Chromosomes are the stuctes that carrygentic info
- Chromatin is the protein that makes up chromosomes
- Connection to rough ER

- Each pore is ringed by protein particles
- Nuclear envelope
- enclosed nucles

- Ribosomes
- Read mRNA copies of DNA's instructions
- made in nucleus
- free or bound from nucleus
- translate instruction into proteins
- Not membrane bound
- not considered organells
- protein synthesis
- Free in cytosol
- bound outside nuclear envelope
Endomembrane System
- interconnected tubes,sac,tiny floating vesicles
- Change shape and size
- Separate contents frm rest of cytoplasm
- 1. Nuclear enevlope
- 2. Endoplasmic Reticulum
- Storage, manufacturing, and making
- Smooth
- Rough
- Has bound ribosomes all over it
- makes protein for export
- protein synthesis
- makes more membrane
- Glycoproteins
- carbs attached to proteins
- Enzymes make lipids(steroids)
- detoxifitions (add -OH)
- Drug resistance
- Store Ca+
- Lacks ribosomes its outsuface
- phospholipids
- 3. Golgi apparatus
- finishes, packages, sorts and ships
- Vesicles from ER to GA
- Stack of flat sacs
- cisternae
- each layer further modifies products
- final layer sorts into vesicles for transport
- proteins are modified and stored
- refines product of ER
- 4. Lysosomes
- looks like a vacuoles
- digestive cells
- Phagocytosis
- contain enzymes that break down chemicalbonds
- sent to other places for cell specilaization
- secretion
- Recycle organelles
- autophagy
- self eating
- self destruct cell
- autolysis
- part of development
- common in animals
- in plants sometimes???
- 4. Vacuoles
"little emptiness"
- actually full of water/ clear liquid
- Large vesicles
- often storage/organization
- food,water, toxins(process of eating)
- contractile vacuole
- squirting H20 out of cell
- some & others connected vialtravelling vesicles
- 50% of membrane in many cells
- Vesicles of membrane bubble off to whereverthe membrane( Vesicles contents) areneeded.
- Membrane grows, not stactic
- dynamic(Moving, shifitng, growing,shrinking)
Engery-Converting Organelles
- 1. Mitochondria
- All eukaryote cells
- cellular respiration
- outer & inner membrane (Cristae)
- own circular DNA
- only inherited from female parent
- Plants can be from both parents
- Use energy from sugars
- ATP(andenosine triphosphate)
- immediate energy source
- stores & releases energy
- mDNA
- free ribosomes
- reproduce in cells
- Matrix
- DNA & ribosomes enclosed by the innermembrane

- 2. Chloroplast
- some plant cells
- fruit, root plants & animals don‘’t have it
