Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes

•Prokaryotes

-Organisms whose cells do not have a nucleus.

-Prokaryotes are divided into two domains: bacteria and Archaea.

-Archaea are found not only in bacteria habitats, but also in environments that are

too hostile for most other cells.

•Characteristics of prokaryotes:

-Simple structure

-No membrane bound organelles

-No nucleus holding DNA

-DNA exists as small free-ﬂoating rings known as plastids

-Three different shapes being spherical, rodlike or corkscrew shaped.

-Has a cell membrane, cell wall and capsule

-Reproduce asexually, dividing into two organisms

-Mostly single celled organisms.

•Eukaryotes

-organisms whose cells do have a nucleus

•Characteristics of eukaryotes:

-Can be single celled or multi-cellular organisms.

-All have a nucleus containing DNA

-Contains membrane bound organelles

-More complex due to more organelles

-Presence of cytoskeleton

-Generally larger in size than prokaryotic cells

-Sexually reproduces

•Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic.

•Plant cells have where animal cells do not:

-cellulose wall

-plastids

-chloroplasts

-vacuoles (some unicellular animals do)

-no lysosomes

-no centrioles

Current 10 Big Ideas in Molecular Life Sciences

1. Molecular Evolution

-The evolution of living organisms requires changes to DNA that produce heritable

genetic variation and diverse phenotypes.

-Essential molecular structures and cellular processes are conserved through

evolution.

2. Self Assembly

-In biological systems self-assembly is the process in which molecules

spontaneously fold and aggregate to form ordered structures.

-Aggregation often involves non-covalent interactions between molecules with

complementary surfaces.

3. Compartmentalisation

-Fluid membranes deﬁne the systems (cells and organelles) that make life possible.

-They allow molecules and functions to be compartmentalised and regulated.

4. Information and communication

-A distinguishing property of living systems is the ability to collect and transmit,

interpret and respond, store and replicate information.

5. Regulation

-Biological systems are dynamic.

-They involve complex networks of processes that are regulated in order to behave

coherently and achieve physiological goals efﬁciently.

6. Catalysis

-Most biological reactions require catalysis by enzymes to increase rates by reducing

the activation energy of the reaction.

-Enzymes provide targets for kinetic control.

7. Energy and organisation

-Biological systems maintain homeostasis at a position away from equilibrium by the

import of energy

-I.e. they obey the second law of thermodynamics.

8. Complexity of molecular structure

-Biological systems are functionally complex and diverse.

-This requires complexity in the structures of biological macromolecules; an input of

energy is needed for their synthesis from simple starting materials.

9. Complementarity of molecular structures

-Cellular processes require a high degree of speciﬁcity of molecular interactions.

-This is achieved through selective binding of complementary surfaces.

10. The aqueous environment of the cell

-The unique behaviour of water as a liquid and a solvent is a major determinant of

structure and function in living systems.
