Biology 1001A Lecture Notes - Transmission Electron Microscopy, Nuclear Membrane, Nucleoid
Document Summary
Transmission electron micrograph used to take image of cell. May have one or two membranes around the outside depending on which prokaryotic cell it is. Not much going on in the inside, mainly a central nucleoid region. And then some cytoplasm around the outside of the nucleoid region. Have internalized their membranes to create some of the now familiar internal membranes, the nuclear envelope and the er. Eukaryotes have internal membranes (e. g. around nucleus. Some internal membranous organelles were the result of endosymbiosis where early cells entered into very intimate relationships between aerobic bacterium that have now become mitochondria (used to be free living bacteria) A series of woven proteins that help maintain the shape of cell (cables, pullies and ropes) Communicates from the cell membrane/surface all the way to the nucleus. Very important in moving chromosomes around during cell division.
