    Study Notes

    Cell Parts

    • Nucleoid Region: In prokaryotes, contains DNA.
    • Nucleolus: In eukaryotes, makes ribosomes and has no membrane.
    • Peroxisomes: Collect and break down material.
    • Rough ER: Accepts mRNA to make proteins.
    • Smooth ER: Detoxifies and makes lipids.
    • Golgi Apparatus: Modifies and distributes proteins, exists only in eukaryotes.
    • Vesicular Transport: Two types, COPII (forward) and COPI (return).
    • Cisternal Maturation: Vesicles travel in retrograde, new cis is made, involving cis, medial, trans, and exit stages.
    • Centrioles: Consist of 9 groups of microtubules, which pull chromosomes apart.
    • Lysosomes: Demonstration and recycling center, made by Golgi, with a single membrane.
    • Plasmids: In prokaryotes, carry DNA not necessary for survival.

    Cytoskeleton

    • Microfilaments: Made up of actin.
    • Microtubules: Made up of tubulin.
    • Intermediate Filaments: Consist of keratin, vimentin, and desmin, which is similar to lamin.

    Tissues

    • Epithelial Tissues: Have two main types: parenchyma (functional parts of an organ) and stroma (supporting tissues).
    • Epithelial Tissue Types: Include simple (one layer), stratified (multiple layers), pseudostratified (one layer, but appears multilayered), cuboidal (cube-shaped), columnar (long and narrow), and squamous (flat, scale-like).
    • Connective Tissues: Consist of stroma (support, extracellular matrix), including bone, cartilage, tendons, and blood.

    Genetic Recombination

    • Transformation: Receives genetic information from the environment.
    • Conjugation: Transfers genetic information via a conjugation bridge, involving F+ to F or Hfr to recipient.
    • Transduction: Transfers genetic information using bacteriophage.
    • Transposons: Genetic information that can insert or remove itself.

    Bacteria

    • Obligate Aerobes: Require oxygen.
    • Obligate Anaerobes: Die in oxygen.
    • Facultative Anaerobes: Can switch between aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
    • Aerotolerant Anaerobes: Do not use oxygen but can tolerate it.
    • Gram + Bacteria: Have a thick peptidoglycan cell wall with lipoteichoic acid, staining purple.
    • Gram - Bacteria: Have a thin peptidoglycan cell wall with an outer membrane, staining pink-red.

    Eukaryote vs. Prokaryote

    • Eukaryote Characteristics: Electron transport chain (ETC) in mitochondria, large ribosomes, reproduction via mitosis, and lack of plasmids.
    • Prokaryote Characteristics: ETC in cell membrane, small ribosomes, reproduction via binary fission, and presence of plasmids.

    Miscellaneous

    • Prions: Infectious proteins that trigger misfolding, changing from alpha-helical to beta-pleated sheets, and affecting solubility.
    • Viroids: Plant pathogens.

    Viruses

    • Capsid: A protein coat.
    • Envelope: A lipid envelope, present in some viruses.
    • Virion: An individual virus particle.
    • Bacteriophage: A virus that targets bacteria, using a tail sheath to inject DNA/RNA.
    • Viral Genome: Can be DNA or RNA, single or double stranded.
    • Single Strand RNA Viruses: Can be positive sense (can be translated by host cell) or negative sense (requires RNA replicase to synthesize a complementary strand).
    • Retrovirus: Has a single-stranded RNA genome, requiring reverse transcriptase to make DNA.
