Prokaryotic Cells (Bacteria)
Prokaryotes
Characteristics
• Simple Organization
1. Little compartmentalization.
2. Nucleoid region with a simple circle of DNA.
3. Ribosomes.
• Size
~ 1 to 10 µm.
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).

Prokaryote Cell Walls
• Bacteria have cell walls of peptidoglycan (proteincarbohydrate), 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
Importance of Prokaryotes
• Decomposition
• Photosynthesis
• Disease
• Tools for molecular biology
Eukaryotic Cells
Key Characteristic:
COMPARTMENTALIZATION:
• Membrane-bound organelles (including the
endomembrane system).
• Nucleus.
• Plasma membrane.
Eukaryote - Animal Cell
Eukaryote - Plant Cell
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.
Nuclear Envelope
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
Ribosomes
Function
Protein synthesis.
Composition
2 subunits of rRNA and protein.
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
The Endomembrane System
The Endomembrane System
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.
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.
RER Structure
Synthesis of Secreted Proteins
Signal sequence composed of hydrophobic aa.

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