Document Summary
Lecture 1: what are prokaryotes vs eukaryotes, prokaryotes. Not so much simple as they are more specialized (specialized for certain environments. For example: not all strains of ecoli are dangerous, normal stains help digest food. Metabolic processes are very diverse in microbes. Mitochondria and chloroplasts are more related to prokaryotes than other organelles near them. The differences and similarities of eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and. Prokaryotes are small because they use diffusion (the smaller they are, the easier it is for them to diffuse) Eukaryotes don"t use diffusion because they have organelles that move things around the cell for them (golgi body) *know the endomembrane system. Prokaryotes look a lot alike under a microscope. Uses inorganic chemicals such as nh3 and fe2 for energy. Test question: organism feeds a specific way, what is their nutritional mode . Plasmids carry genes that are needed for specific environments.
