Document Summary

Cellular structures: cytoplasm, cytoplasmic membrane (cm, nucleus or nucleoid, ribosomes- protein synthesis, cell wall- found in plants & most prokaryotes; not in animals. Membrane enclosed organelles (nucleus, chloroplast, mitochondria, etc. ) Genome- a cell"s complete set of genes. Prokaryotes- have a single circular chromosome & sometimes circular extrachromosomal dna (plasmids) Nucleus- membrane-enclosed structure that contains the chromosomes; found in eukaryotes. Nucleoid- mass of dna not bound by a membrane; found in prokaryotes. Cytoplasm surrounded by envelope: cytoplasm contains dna in nucleoid, envelope has lipid membrane boundary and a structural cell wall. Cytoplasmic membrane- fluid selective permeability barrier made of phospholipids & proteins that form a bilayer with hydrophilic exteriors & hydrophobic interior: cm is a phospholipid bilayer. Hydrophilic (dissolve in water) group faces cytoplasm or periplasm. Hydrophobic (don"t dissolve in water) fatty acids line up inside membrane: attraction of nonpolar fatty acid portions of one phospholipid layer for other layer result in selective permeability of cell membrane.
