Document Summary
Know what principal features all living cells share. Cell features of different groups of organisms; links to evolution & health. Nucleic acids(dna) to store genetic info for protein synth. Outer cell membrane to maintain a suitable internal env. Ability to acquire energy from the environment for atp formation & the 3 types of cellular work. Use presence or absence of certain cell components to predict to which domain of life an organism belongs. Eukarya- larger cells, multiple inner membranes for compartmentation in order to. Bacteria & archaea- smaller cells, no internal compartmentation (no membrane around dna/no nucleus, no chloroplasts, no mitochondria, no er) Different species specialize in unique biochemical pathways. Relate mitochondria and chloroplasts to their principal metabolic roles and to the organisms in which they occur. Mitochondria- eukaryotic cell"s powerhouse, burn energy rich molecules with o(cid:899) to produce lots of atp. (prokaryotes use fermentation 2 make small atp amounts)
