Study Notes
Cell Structure Differences
- Prokaryotic cells contain fewer internal structures compared to eukaryotic cells.
- Internal structures between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are similar but organized differently.
Common Cell Structures
- All cell types share four key structures: DNA, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a cell membrane.
Eukaryotes
- Eukaryotic organisms are multicellular and possess membrane-bound organelles and a true nucleus.
Prokaryotes
- Prokaryotic organisms are unicellular and lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Prokaryotic Cell Characteristics
- Typically single-celled organisms.
- Lack membrane-bound organelles.
- DNA is located within the cytoplasm.
Eukaryotic Cell Characteristics
- Generally multicellular organisms.
- Feature a defined nucleus.
- Contain various membrane-bound organelles.
Symbiosis
- An interaction beneficial to one organism, known as symbiosis, can involve various living beings.
Endosymbiosis
- Describes a relationship where one organism lives within another, often providing mutual benefits.
Termite and Protozoan Relationship
- Termites derive nourishment from protozoans in their gut, while the protozoans receive shelter and food from the termites.
Evolution of Organelles
- Mitochondria are believed to have evolved from aerobic bacteria.
- Chloroplasts are thought to have originated from cyanobacteria.
Mitochondrial DNA Applications
- Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is utilized in forensic science, particularly in cases involving missing persons to trace maternal lineage.
Survival of Eukaryotic Cells
- Eukaryotic cells cannot survive without mitochondria and chloroplasts, as they are essential for energy production.
Endosymbiotic Theory Evidence
- Mitochondria and chloroplasts can reproduce independently of the cell.
- They are similar in size to prokaryotic cells.
- Each contains its own ribosomes.
Shared Structures in Cells
- Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have four essential structures: cell membrane, DNA, ribosomes, and cytoplasm.
Organisms in Prokaryotes
- Representative organisms include bacteria and various microorganisms.
Organisms in Eukaryotes
- Representative eukaryotic organisms include animals, plants, and fungi.
Common Cell Labels
- Key structures in all cells can be labeled as follows:
- A: Cell membrane
- B: Cytoplasm
- C: Ribosomes
- D: DNA
