Study Notes
Eubacteria and Eukaryotes
- Eubacteria are a large group of organisms that live in various environments, including soil, water, and other organisms.
- They are prokaryotic cells, lacking a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
- Eukaryotes are more complex, with a nucleus, cytoplasmic organelles, and a cytoskeleton.
- Eukaryotes are generally larger than prokaryotes and contain membrane-enclosed organelles that provide compartments for different metabolic activities.
Mitochondria and Chloroplast
- Mitochondria are found in almost all eukaryotic cells and are critical for energy metabolism, generating ATP from glucose.
- Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynthesis, only found in plant cells and green algae.
- Mitochondria and chloroplasts are critical for energy metabolism and cellular evolution.
Endosymbiotic Theory
- Eukaryotes developed at least 2.7 billion years ago, following 1.5 billion years of prokaryotic evolution.
- Studies show that archaebacteria and eubacteria are as different from each other as they are from present-day eukaryotes.
- This indicates a divergence of three lines of descent from a common ancestor, giving rise to archaebacteria, eubacteria, and eukaryotes.
- Archaebacterial genes are more similar to eukaryotes than eubacteria, indicating a shared common ancestry.
Plants and Animal Cells
- Plant cells are organized into three main tissue systems: ground tissue, dermal tissue, and vascular tissue.
- Ground tissue consists of parenchyma cells (two types: collenchyma and sclerenchyma).
- Dermal tissue consists of epidermal cells, responsible for protective coat and nutrient absorption.
- Vascular tissue consists of xylem and phloem, responsible for transport of water and nutrients, respectively.
- Animal cells are composed of more than 200 different kinds of cells, with five main types of tissues: epithelial, connective, blood, nervous, and muscle tissue.
