Document Summary

Specifically mentioned during lecture as important for the exam. Eukarya: consist of both single cellular and multicellular organisms; tend to be more complicated. Prokaryotes are generally not compartmentalized and are smaller than eukaryotes. Eukaryotes are larger, on average, than prokaryotic cells, about ten times larger, and therefore have about a thousand times the volume. Plant cells: mitochondria (energy generation), chloroplast (energy generation), nucleus (contains chromosomal dna) Animal cells: mitochondria (energy generation), lysosome (protein degradation), nucleus (contains chromosomal dna). The key advantage of having organelles is that within them, you could have a separate environment than the one in the cytoplasm. They also serve to protect the rest of the cell from harmful events inside an organelle, such as degrading enzymes in lysosomes. Organelles differ in major ways from the cytoplasm: proten content: they can differ in terms of the chemical composition.
