Document Summary

2. 1 basic features of cell structure and function: cell theory. All living organisms are composed of cells. Cells are the structural and functional units of life. Cells arise only form the division of pre-existing cells: divided into 2 parts cytoplasm and genetic material (nucleus, cytoplasm cytosol, cytoskeleton, and organelles; bound by the plasma membrane. Most other molecules required for growth and reproduction are assembled. Energy absorbed from the surroundings is converted into energy usable by cell: plasma membrane a lipid bilayer in which transport proteins are embedded. 2. 2 prokaryotic cells: surrounded by a plasma membrane and (in most groups) enclosed in a cell wall, cell wall composed of sugars and amino acids (collectively called peptidoglycan) Destruction of the cell wall can result in lysis of the cell: capsule layer of polysaccharides surrounding the cell wall. Protects from extreme temperatures, desiccation antibiotics, viruses, and antibodies: genetic material is typically a single circular dna molecule.
