Outline Microscopy (Cntd.) Prokaryotes Eukaryotes

Characteristics of Principle Cell Types 2 structurally different types of cells: PROKARYOTEEUKARYOTE True Nucleus?NoYes Membrane bound organelles? NoYes Kingdoms Bacteria Archaebacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

Immunofluorescence Microscopy Green = Anti-tubulin Red = Anti- vimentin http://www.img.cas.cz/dbc/gallery.htm

Prokaryotic Cells (Bacteria)
9
Prokaryotes Characteristics Simple Organization 1.Little compartmentalization. 2.Nucleoid region with a simple circle of DNA. 3.Ribosomes. Size ~ 1 to 10 µm.
10
Prokaryote Characteristics (Cntd.) Support Most prokaryotes have a strong cell wall (instead of internal support structures). Cell Shape Variable - rod (bacillus), sphere (coccus), comma (vibrio), spiral (spirillum).

15
Prokaryote Cell Walls Bacteria have cell walls of peptidoglycan (protein- carbohydrate), but Archaebacteria use other materials. Gram Staining Gram Positive: A thick wall with many layers of peptidoglycan that blocks the escape of the gram stain Purple. Gram Negative: Only a thin peptidoglycan layer that allows the escape of the gram stain Red.

Prokaryote Cell Walls
17
Importance of Prokaryotes Decomposition Photosynthesis Disease Tools for molecular biology
18
Eukaryotic Cells Key Characteristic: COMPARTMENTALIZATION: Membrane-bound organelles (including the endomembrane system). Nucleus. Plasma membrane.
19
Eukaryote - Animal Cell
20
Eukaryote - Plant Cell
21
The Nucleus Function Control center of cell. Structure Nuclear Envelope 1.2 phospholipid bilayers. 2.Internal bilayer continuous with ER. 3.Nuclear pores that allow selective passage of proteins and RNA.
22
Nuclear Envelope
23
Nuclear Structure (Cntd.) Nucleolus 1.Dark staining region of nucleus. 2.Contains genes that encode rRNA. 3.Function - rRNA synthesis and assembly of ribosomal subunits. Chromosomes DNA and protein (histones).

Chromosome Structure
26
Ribosomes Function Protein synthesis. Composition 2 subunits of rRNA and protein.
27
The Endomembrane system Structure Interior membranes that are connected by either: direct physical continuity or vesicular transport Function Compartmentalization, large surface area, and trafficking. Components Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus Lysosomes
28
The Endomembrane System
30
Endoplasmic Reticulum Structure Lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that forms an intracellular network. Cisternal space. Intracellular Location Continuous with nuclear envelope and concentrated around it.
31
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER) Structure ER with attached ribosomes. Functions Lipid/membrane synthesis. Synthesis of proteins to be secreted from the cell - determined by the presence of a signal sequence on the polypeptide chain. Synthesis of proteins that will be embedded in the cell membrane or sent to lysosomes.
32
RER Structure
33
Synthesis of Secreted Proteins Signal sequence composed of hydrophobic aa.

35
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) Structure Few attached ribosomes. Functions Lipid/membrane synthesis. Detoxification.
