Study Notes
Domains of Life
Archaea Cell Structure
- Cell wall: Pseudopeptidoglycan (peptidoglycan without D-amino acids) or S-layer (protein layer)
- Cell membrane: Ether lipids (instead of ester lipids found in Bacteria and Eukarya)
- Flagella: Archaeal flagella are composed of archaeal flagellin proteins
- Genetic material: Circular chromosome and multiple small circular plasmids
Bacteria Cell Membrane
- Phospholipid bilayer: Composed of ester lipids
- Fluid mosaic model: Proteins and lipids are embedded in the membrane
- Semipermeable: Allows certain substances to pass through
- Functions: Regulates what enters and leaves the cell, involved in cell signaling and metabolism
Eukaryotic Cell Organelles
- Nucleus: Contains genetic material, surrounded by a double membrane
- Mitochondria: Site of cellular respiration, generates energy for the cell
- Endoplasmic reticulum (ER): Involved in protein synthesis, transportation, and lipid synthesis
- Golgi apparatus: Modifies and packages proteins and lipids for transport
- Lysosomes: Contains digestive enzymes, involved in cellular digestion and recycling
- Ribosomes: Site of protein synthesis
Plant Cell Walls
- Cellulose: Main component, provides structural support and rigidity
- Hemicellulose: Cross-links cellulose fibers, adds strength and flexibility
- Pectin: Found in the middle lamella, helps hold cells together
- Lignin: Found in woody plants, adds strength and rigidity
- Functions: Provides support, protection, and maintenance of cell shape
Animal Tissue Types
- Epithelial tissue: Forms the lining of organs and glands, protects and absorbs
- Connective tissue: Provides support and structure, connects organs and tissues
- Muscle tissue: Enables movement and contraction
- Nervous tissue: Transmits and processes information
- Functions: Each tissue type has specific functions that contribute to the overall functioning of the organism
Domains of Life
Archaea Cell Structure
- Unique cell wall: Composed of pseudopeptidoglycan (lacking D-amino acids) or a protein layer (S-layer)
- Ether lipids in membrane: Instead of ester lipids found in Bacteria and Eukarya
- Archaeal flagella: Composed of archaeal flagellin proteins
- Genetic material: Circular chromosome and multiple small circular plasmids
Bacteria Cell Membrane
- Phospholipid bilayer: Composed of ester lipids, differing from Archaea
- Fluid mosaic model: Proteins and lipids embedded in the membrane, allowing selective permeability
- Semipermeable membrane: Regulates what enters and leaves the cell
- Cell signaling and metabolism: Involved in these processes
