1
Structure of Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells
2
Review of Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells Nucleus vs nucleoid DNA : circular vs linear, presence of histones Membranous organelles Cell wall-peptidoglycan Cell division: binary vs mitosis Ribosomes: 70S vs 80S Cytoskeleton
3
Shape Cocci –Diplococci –Streptococci –Tetrads –Sarcinae –Staphylococci
4
Bacillus Coccobacilli Diplobacilli Streptobacilli
5
Spiral Vibrio-curved rods Spirilla-helical & rigid Spirochetes-helical & flexible Other shapes Pleomorphic
6
Glycocalyx Glycolipids or glycoproteins Surrounds cell Capsule or slime layer Capsule more organized & attached to wall Advantages of capsule
7
Slime Layer(Biofilm) Surrounds cell Loosely organized & not attached Tangled mass of fibers-dextran Attachment to surfaces -S. mutans Shields bacteria from immune defense & antibiotics
8
Glycocalyx -Eukaryotes Animal cells have one Made of carbohydrates No do not have a cell wall Surround plasma membrane Stabilizes PM
9
Flagella Movement –Spins like propeller –Clockwise or counter clockwise Chemotaxis- movement toward or away
10
Arrangements Monotrichous: one at end Amphitrichous: both ends Lophotrichous: tuft at end or ends Peritrichous: around the cell
11
Structure Composition-protein subunits: flagellin (H protein) E. coli H7 –Chains twisted together with hollow core –Helical shaped –Filament, hook, basal body –Hook –Basal body:
12
Flagella Basal body Classified by flagella protein
13
Axial Filament Spirochetes –Treponema pallidum-syphilis –Borrelia burgdorferi-Lyme disease Bundle of fibrials within a sheath Corkscrew motion
14
Movement Eukaryotes Flagella & cilia –9+2 arrangement of microtubules –Cilia in Paramecium & respiratory cells
15
Prokaryote Fimbriae & Pili Made of pilin: string of subunits Function: attachment Few to hundreds Fimbrae Pili-longer & fewer Not in eukaryotes
16
Cell Wall Function Basis of Gram stain
17
Composition Peptidoglycan –Repeating subunits of disaccharides N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) N-acetyl muramic acid (NAM) Linked alternately in rows –Attached by polypeptides Tetrapeptide side chains link NAM subunits Cross bridge of amino acids link tetrapeptides –Forms lattice
18
Peptidoglycan Confers shape & prevents lysis Cell growth –Autolysins break cross linkages in peptidoglycan –Transpeptidases seal breaks –Penicillin inactivates these enzymes Existing cells –Treat with lysozyme-tears, saliva etc. –Destroys linkages between carbohydrates
19
Gram Positive Cell Wall Thick layers: 40-80% of dry wt, up to 30 layers Contains teichoic acid –Alcohol and phosphate –Negative charge –Cell growth-prevents lysis –Antigenic properties
20
Gram Negative Cell Wall Few layers of peptidoglycan- 10% Outer membrane: bilayer Periplasm
21
LPS Strong negative charge Barrier to some antibiotics Outer membrane-endotoxin –O polysaccharides –Lipid-lipid A
22
Gram Stain Differential stain dev by Hans Gram 1880s –Classifies bacteria into 2 groups –Based upon cell wall composition –Gram variable stain unevenly –Gram non reactive do not stain or stain poorly
23
Comparison Gram positives
24
Gram Negatives ETOH disrupts outer layer CV-I complex is washed out of thin peptidoglycan layer Counterstain
25
Atypical Cell Walls Streptococci Mycobacteria Mycoplasma –PM unique with sterols protect from lysis
26
Mycoplasma Lack a cell wall so pleomorphic Classified with gram positives Smallest genome of any bacteria Droplet spread-use regular mask Why can’t you use penicillin?
27
Cell wall of Eukaryotes Simpler than prokaryotes Algae & plants Fungi Yeasts Protozoa Animals
28
Plasma Membrane Thin, fluid structure inside cell wall-viscous Proteins Phospholipids-2 layers
29
Functions of Membrane Selective permeability Passive transport: Active transport: Enzymes break down nutrients Infoldings
30
Plasma Membrane of Eukaryotes Phospholipids and proteins Carbohydrates and sterols-cholesterol More rigid than prokaryotic PM Endocytosis Exocytosis
31
Cytoplasm of Prokaryotes 80% water, thick, solutes Increase in osmotic pressure on membrane –Rigid cell wall prevents lysis Contains DNA Ribosomes Inclusion bodies
32
Cytoplasm of Eukaryotes Cytosol-fluid portion Cytoskelton –Microfilaments: –Microtubules: –Intermediate filaments: Cytoplasmic streaming
33
Ribosomes 2 subunits of protein and rRNA 70s ribosomes Polyribosomes-chains Protein synthesis Eukayotes-80s
34
Inclusions Polysaccharide granules Sulfur granules Reserve deposits-volutin (phosphates)
35
Endospores Unique to bacteria: Clostridium & Bacillus Sporulation-formation of spores
36
Germination Triggered by damage to coat Enzymes break down endospore Water enters & metabolism begins Not a reproductive structure
37
Nuclear Area of Bacteria Single, ds DNA chromosome Attached to PM at some point Nucleoid area, not a nucleus Plasmids
38
Nucleus Largest structure in cell –Nucleoli DNA associated with proteins -histones
39
Organelles in Eukaryotes Unique to eukaryotes Membranous structures –Endoplasmic reticulum Smooth & rough –Golgi complex –Lysosomes –Mitochondria –Cloroplasts
40
ER Flattened membranous sacs Rough ER-ribosomes attached Smooth ER- no ribosomes Free ribosomes- proteins don’t need processing
41
Golgi Complex Stacks of membranous sacs Receive transport vesicles from ER Modify molecules to form glycoproteins, glycolipids lipoproteins Transported in secretory vesicles to PM or to outside cell
42
Lysosomes Formed from Golgi –Contain digestive enzymes: proteases & nucleases –Break down old parts of cell –Breaks down pathogens
43
Mitochondria Double membrane Generation of ATP
44
Chloroplasts Thylakoids-flattened membranous sacs Contain DNA 70s ribosomes Stroma thick fluid in center- Calvin cycle Generation of ATP & sugars
