Document Summary

Smallest structural and functional unit of an organism. Nucleus: double membrane, holds dna, transcription factors, nuclear membrane projects itself away to build endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes: important when dealing with translation & protein synthesis, synthesized in nucleus, travel to rough er. Endoplasmic reticulum: lipid synthesis, folds in membrane, after synthesized goes to golgi though vesicles. Mitochondria: most atp produced here, claim stores (must be correct amount!!) Central vacuole: unique to plants, store water, maintain structure, allow water in. Cell wall and plasmodesmata: shape and structure, difficult exchanges between plant cells, used for passage of ions (small molecules) Prokaryotes: small (1-5 um), simple, highly adaptable, small genomes. Eukaryotes: larger (10-100 um), compartments for cellular functions, transport systems, larger genomes. > different types of microscopy & their requirements: Light microscope: visible light passes through the specimen and through the glass lens. Electron microscope: focuses on a beam of electrons through the specimen onto its surface.
