Document Summary

Of organelles and biosynthetic processes (eg. mitochondria, glgi, er) Greater complexity and organization in the eukaryotic cell. Main point is that the dna is enclosed within a membrane. Lysosomes: where the waste is broken down and recycled or. Increase in structure leads to increase in complexity expelled. Vacuole: keeps the cell shape as well as holds fluids. The eukaryote has so much dna that it needs to be separated and packaged. Compartmentalization is a key feature that provides a greater organization of the cell. To be able to have this compartmentalization you must have membranes that are versatile to various different functions. Dynamic (expand, fuse, split) (moving vesicles of products or waste into or out of the cell) Provide a barrier but selectively allow transport (active or non-active transport) A flagellated bacterium where the dna is arranged in a lose structure but is not bound within a membrane.
