Document Summary

Chapter 1: an overview of cells and cell research: the origin and evolution of cells, cells as experimental models, tools of cell biology. Prokaryotes are about the size of the mitochondria from the eukaryotic cell. Prokaryotes have no nucleus and no cytoplasmic organelles. Prokaryotes have singular circular dona molecules while eukaryotes have multiple linear dna molecules (chromosomes) Two types of cells: prokaryotic lack a nuclear envelope. Eukaryotic have a nucleus that separates genetic material from cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells are much larger and more complex than prokaryotes. The nucleus is the largest organelle: contains the linear dna molecules, site of dna replication and rna synthesis.

Enable cells to compartmentalize distinct biochemical events/ activities. Other organelles provide compartments that localize different metabolic activities: Lysosomes and peroxisomes specialized metabolic compartments for the digestion of macromolecules and for various oxidative reactions. Endoplasmic reticulum network of intracellular membranes, extending from the nuclear membrane throughout the cytoplasm.
