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.
