Document Summary

Two types of cells: prokaryote simpler internal structure lack membrane-enclosed organelles, bacteria & archaea, eukaryote larger & more complex, membrane-enclosed organelles (nucleus, chloroplast, mitochondria, etc, algae, fungi, protozoa, plants, animals. Viruses: non-cellular (so are not prokaryote or eukaryote, reproduce only inside a host cell. Lack many characteristics of living things: ex. The bacterial cell: cytoplasm surrounded by envelope, cytoplasm contains dna in nucleoid, envelope has lipid membrane boundary, plus structural cell wall. Archaea have terpenoids which increase stability at high temp & low ph. The bacterial cell wall (sacculus: made of peptidoglycan (murein): a porous cage-like structure sugar chains wrapped in circles around cell. Lipopolysaccharide: thin cell wall, amino acid crosslinks in peptidoglycan, thick periplasm, cytoplasmic membrane. The bacterial nucleoid: single loop of double-stranded dna, ~4x106 bp in many bacteria, compacted via supercoiling, attached to cell envelope, no membrane separates dna from cytoplasm, replicates once for each cell division.
