Document Summary

Micb 201 chapter 1: learning objectives/outcomes (2012w t1) Explain the general bases on which bacteria, archaea and eukarya are distinguished. There are three domains of life eukarya, bacteria and archaea. Each type of organism has a different cell type. Eukaryal cells have a true nucleus their dna is enclosed in a membrane bound compartment called the nuclear membrane. They also have other membranous organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, etc. On the other hand, bacteria and archaea lack a true nucleus most prokaryotes have their dna in the cytoplasm. Those that have a membrane surrounding their dna exist but this membrane is different from those of eukaryotes. Prokaryotes have a nuclear region called a nucleoid which is basically the organism s chromosomes and associated proteins or other small molecules. Most prokaryotes have a circular chromosome as their genome (possibly with plasmids and stuff). Most prokaryotes lack membrane bound organelles meaning that they look very simple under a microscope.
