Document Summary

Basic properties of cells: complex and organised, controlled by a genetic program, can reproduce, utilise energy, carry out chemical reactions, engage in mechanical activities, evolve. Cell theory: all organisms are composed of one or more cells, the cell is the structural unit of life. Eukaryotic vs prokaryotic cells: eukaryotes are protists (plants, animals) - structurally more complex, prokaryotes are bacteria - structurally simpler. Differences: plasma membrane, nucleoid vs nucleus (membrane bound, ribosome (protein factories, eukaryotes can be multicellular, cytoplasm, dna, yeast, chromatin: dna + protein (eukaryotes only, plant cells and prokaryotes have walls. Plasma membrane qualities: compartmentalisation, selectively permeable membrane, scaffold for biochemical activities, responding to external signals, intercellular interaction, energy transduction (energy being converted from one form to another (chemical energy > atp)) Signal transduction: information is carried by extracellular messenger molecules that are translated into changes that occur inside of a cell.
