Document Summary

Basic cellular structures: cytoplasm, cytoplasmic membrane, nucleus or nucleoid, ribosomes- protein synthesis sites, cell walls- found in plants & most prokaryotes; not in animals. 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, 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. Lysozyme: enzyme that destroys peptidoglycan, leading to cell lysis found in animal secretions & thought to be a major line of defense against infection by bacteria.
