Document Summary

The tree of life has 3 primary branches: bacteria (eubacteria, arachaea (arachaebacteria, eukaryotes. Prokaryotic cells: eubacteria and arachaea, single-celled, lack nucleus and organelles, plasma membrane; selectively permeable filter, ribosome; protein sysnthesis, cell wall; tough, protective outer coat, optional since not in all prokaryotes. Eukaryotic cells: plants, fungi, animals, humans, single-celled or multicellular, have nuclei and organelles, microtubules; eukaryotic cells are much bigger so you need cytoskeleton, mitochondrion; generating atp, nucleus; contains dna, plasma membrane; selectively permeable filter. All known life forms possess a genome. Encodes the information to construct and maintain an organism. Most genomes are made of dna; except some viruses have rna genomes. Release of the biological information stored in the genome requires genome expression. The first product of genome expression is the transcriptome: the repertoire of rna molecules present in a cell at a particular time, dna microarray. Gives you a snapshot of the transcriptome. Red means high gene expression (lots of rna)
