Document Summary

All life is carbon based and the building blocks for life are invariable. However, cells can vary in their size and function. The central dogma relates how many cells make proteins. Dna is transcribed into rna and then rna is translated into proteins. There are three domains of life: bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotic, meaning that they have no nucleus. Because of this, their dna is stored in circular chromosomes. Additionally, they also do not have any other membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotes are unicellular and are about 0. 2 10 m in size. Prokaryotes may also have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan. Prokaryotes are gram-positive if they have a cell wall and gram-negative if they do not. Archaea, unlike bacteria or eukaryotes can preform methanogenesis. Transcription and translation in archaea is very similar to the mechanisms used by eukaryotes. Eukaryotes, by contrast, have a nucleus where their genetic information is stored.
