Document Summary

Cell theory states all organisms consist of cells and all cells are derived from preexisting cells. Characteristics that are now shared among all known life forms. Proteins that perform most of the cell"s functions. Nucleic acids that store, transmit, and process information. Carbohydrates that provide chemical energy, carbon, support and identity. A plasma membrane which serves as a selectively permeable barrier. Division between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is mostly based on morphology. According to phylogeny, or evolutionary history, organisms are divided into 3 broad domains, bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. Bacterial and archaeal cell structures and their functions. Although wide variation in size and shape of bacterial and archaeal cells, they all contain a plasma membrane, a chromosome, and protein synthesizing ribosomes. Most prominent structure inside a prokaryotic cell is the chromosome; most bacterial and archaeal species have a single circular chromosome that consists of a large dna molecule associated with proteins. The proteins provide structural support for the dna.
