Document Summary

Microbiology chapter 5: eukaryotic microbes can be divided into two major groups: protists and fungi. 5. 1 eukaryotic cells are diverse but share some common features. Shape and size: eukaryotic cells are larger than bacterial and archaeal cells. However, some bacteria and archaea are very large, even larger than some of the largest protists, so some protists smaller than many bacteria and archaea. Cell organization: organelles are intracellular structures that perform specific functions in cells analogous to functions of organs in body of multicellular organism. 5. 2 eukaryotic cell envelopes: cell envelope consists of plasma membrane and all coverings external to it. Eukaryotic microorganisms differ from bacterial and archaeal cells in structures they have external to plasma membrane. Often forms of carbohydrate-rich layer on surface called glycocalyx: with plasma membranes of bacterial and archaeal cells, eukaryotic cells must be able to move materials across membranes.
