Eukaryotic Motility
•more appendages for motility.
•Flagella are similar to those in prokaryotic cells, but whip back and forth to provide motility rather than spinning.
•Cilia are much shorter than flagella but have similar structure. Far greater in number
Eukaryotic Glycocalyx
Like prokaryotes, eukaryotes have slime layers and capsules
•Protection
•Communication
•Adherence
Eukaryotic Cell Wall/Membrane
•Some eukaryotes (fungi, algae, plants) have cell walls, but there is tremendous variability
•Animal cells, many protists, lack cell walls
•Cell membranes are like prokaryotic cell membranes in structure and function
•Eukaryotic membranes typically contains sterols to increase the strength of the membrane (especially in the absence of cell walls)
Nucleus: Control center
•DNA in nucleus is transcribed to RNA, which moves to cytoplasm through nuclear pores
Eukaryotic Ribosomes
•Prokaryotic ribosomes consist of 30S and 50 subunits, which together equal 70S
•Eukaryotic ribosomes consist of 40S and 60S subunits, which together equal 80S
Endoplasmic Reticulum
phosphid and protein
Golgi Body (Apparatus)
•Receives proteins from ER
•Modifies proteins by adding sugars
Proteins Pathway
Nucleus-> ER->Golgi body->Cell membrane
Lysosomes
•During phagocytosis, food is engulfed into a food vacuole
•contain digestive enzymes
• fuse with the food vacuole to produce a digestive vacuole (or phagolysosome)
•How you each lunch if you’re an amoeba
•White blood cells in the body phagocytize bacteria and other pathogens
Mitochondria
•The powerhouse of the cell
•Converts unusable energy stored in various organic molecules (sugars, fats, proteins) to usable ATP
•Mitochondria were once free-living organisms
•own DNA
•own (70S) ribosomes
•Roughly the size and shape of a prokaryotic cell
Chloroplast
•Converts energy from sunlight into sugars
•Found in algae (and plants)
•Chloroplasts were also once free-living organisms
•Have their own DNA
•Have their own (70S) ribosomes
•Roughly the size and shape of a prokaryotic cell
Cytoskeleton
•Anchors organelles in place within the cytoplasm
•Allows for movement of some cell types
Fungi include
Yeasts (non-filamentous) and Molds (filamentous)both-mycelium
Yeast reproduce by
budding
septate vs non septate
septate- septum with pores
Molds reproduce by
spores
Sporangiospores are borne in
sporangia on reproductive hyphae
Fungi are classified according to the type of sexual spores they produce
•Zygomycota (zygospores)
•Ascomycota (ascospores)
•Basidiomycota (basidiospores)
•Chytridiomycota (motile spores)
