Study Notes
Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes
- Prokaryotes lack a true nucleus; genetic material is not enclosed in a membrane.
- Eukaryotes have a defined nucleus containing their genetic material.
- Prokaryotic cells are generally smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells, often unicellular.
- Eukaryotic cells can be unicellular or multicellular, with complex organelles.
Microbiology
- Microbiology is the scientific field that studies microorganisms and their interactions with other organisms, including infectious diseases.
- It encompasses various sub-disciplines like bacteriology, virology, and mycology.
Definition of Microorganisms
- Microorganisms are tiny living organisms that are usually too small to be seen without a microscope.
- They include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.
Eukaryotic Cell Characteristics
- The principal characteristic of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells is its membrane-bound structure, which separates genetic material from the cytoplasm.
- Eukaryotic cells typically contain one nucleus, but some can have multiple copies depending on the organism and cell type.
Chromosomal Number in Eukaryotic Cells
- The chromosomal number in eukaryotic cells varies by species; for example, humans have 46 chromosomes.
Components of Bacterial Cell Wall
- Peptidoglycan is a primary component of the bacterial cell wall, providing structural support and shape.
Examples of Microorganisms
- Common examples of microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, fungi such as yeast, and protozoa like Amoeba.
Non-Microorganism Examples
- Larger organisms such as plants and animals are not classified as microorganisms.
