1. Eukaryotes have a much more complex cell structure than prokaryotes.
Essential Idea
Eukaryotes have a much more complex cell structure than prokaryotes.

2. All cells share certain characteristics ♦ Cells tend to be microscopic. ♦ All cells are enclosed by a membrane. ♦ All cells are filled with cytoplasm. ♦ Plasma membrane ♦ Chromosomes (carry genes) ♦ Ribosomes (make proteins)

3. There are two cell types: 1. Prokaryotes 2. Eukaryotes
nucleus
organelles
cell membrane

4. Prokaryotes
Assessment Statement Draw and label a diagram of the ultrastructure of Escherichia coli (E. coli) as an example of a prokaryote. The diagram should show the cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, pili, flagella, ribosomes and nucleoid (region containing naked DNA).

5. Draw and label a prokaryote

6. E. Coli – A representative prokaryote (bacteria)
Prokaryotes are cells that do not have a nucleus
The do not have any membrane bound organelles
All bacteria are prokaryotes

7. Diagram of E. Coli

8. Prokaryotes The general size of a prokaryotic cell is about 1-2 um.
Note the absence of membrane bound organelles
There is no true nucleus with a nuclear membrane
The ribosome's are smaller than eukaryotic cells
The slime capsule is used as a means of attachment to a surface
Only flagellate bacteria have the flagellum
Plasmids are very small circular pieces of DNA that maybe transferred from one bacteria to another.

9. Prokaryotes Example Eshericha coli (E. coli)
In a prokaryotic cell, DNA is circular and in the cytoplasm called the nucleoid

10. Prokaryote cellular structure function
Assessment Statement
Annotate the E. coli diagram with the functions of each named structure.

11. Annotate: Label & Function

12. Prokaryote cellular structure function
Cell Wall: Made of a murein (not cellulose), which is a glycoprotein or peptidoglycan (i.e. a protein/carbohydrate complex). There are two kinds of bacterial cell wall, which are identified by the Gram Stain technique when observed under the microscope. Gram positive bacteria stain purple, while Gram negative bacteria stain pink. The technique is still used today to identify and classify bacteria. We now know that the different staining is due to two types of cell wall Plasma membrane: Controls the entry and exit of substances, pumping some of them in by active transport. Cytoplasm: Contains all the enzymes needed for all metabolic reactions, since there are no organelles. Ribosome: The smaller (70 S) type are all free in the cytoplasm, not attached to membranes (like RER). They are used in protein synthesis which is part of gene expression. Nucleoid: Is the region of the cytoplasm that contains DNA. It is not surrounded by a nuclear membrane. DNA is always a closed loop (i.e. a circular), and not associated with any proteins to form chromatin.

13. Prokaryote cellular structure function
Flagella: These long thread like attachments are generally considered to be for movement. They have an internal protein structure that allows the flagella to be actively moved as a form of propulsion. The presence of flagella tends to be associated with the pathogenicity of the bacterium. The flagella is about 20nm in diameter. This structure should not be confused with the eUkaryotic flagella seen in protoctista. Pilli: These thread like projections are usually more numerous than the flagella. They are associated with different types of attachment. In some cases they are involved in the transfer of DNA in a process called conjugation or alternatively as a means of preventing phagocytosis. Slime Capsule: A thick polysaccharide layer outside of the cell wall, like the glycocalyx of eukaryotes. Used for sticking cells together, as a food reserve, as protection against desiccation and chemicals, and as protection against phagocytosis. In some species the capsules of many cells in a colony fuse together forming a mass of sticky cells called a biofilm. Dental plaque is an example of a biofilm.

14. Prokaryote cellular structure function
Plasmids: Extra-nucleoid DNA of up to 400 kilobase pairs. Plasmids can self-replicate particularly before binary fission. They are associated with conjunction which is horizontal gene transfer. It is normal to find at least one anti-biotic resistance gene within a plasmid. This should not be confused with medical phenomena but rather is an ecological response to other antibacterial compounds produced by other microbes. Commonly fungi will produce anti-bacterial compounds which will prevent the bacteria replicating and competing with the bacteria for a resource. conjugation Direct contact between bacterial cells in which plasmid DNA is transferred between a donor cell and a recipient cell. There is no equal contribution to this process, no fertilisation and no zygote formation. It cannot therefore be regarded as sexual reproduction.

15. Binary Fission – Asexual Reproduction in Prokaryotes
Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission
They copy their circular chromosome
The cell grows longer with the two chromosomes attached to the inside membrane
The membrane pinches together in the centre
Two daughter cells are formed

16. Prokaryote Binary Fission
(a). Reproduction signal: The cell receives a signal, of internal or external origin that initiates the cell division. E.coli replicates about once every 40 minutes when incubated at 37o C. If however we increase the concentration of carbohydrate nutrients that the cell is supplied with then the division time can be reduced to 20 minutes. There is a suggestion here that an external signal (nutrient concentration) is acting as the reproductive signal.
(b). Replication of DNA: bacterial cells have a single condensed loop of DNA. This is copied by a process known as semi-conservative replication to produce two copies of the DNA molecule one for each of the daughter cells. The replication begins at a single point (ori)on the loop of DNA. The process proceeds around the loop until two loop have been produced, each a copy of the original. The process finishes at a single point on the loop of DNA called the ter position.

17. Prokaryote Binary Fission
(c). Segregation of DNA: One DNA loop will be provided for each of the daughter cells.
As the new loops form the ori site becomes attached to some contractile proteins that pull the two ori sites, and therefore the loops, to opposite ends of the cell. This is an active process that requires the bacteria to use energy for the segregation.
(d). Cytokinesis: Cell separation.
This occurs once the DNA loop replication and segregation is complete. The DNA completes a process of condensing whilst the plasma membrane begins to form a 'waist' or constriction in the middle of the cell. As the plasma membrane begins to pinch and constrict the membrane fuses and seals with additional new membrane also being formed.

26. Annotate Diagram Assessment Statement
Annotate the E. coli diagram with the functions of each named structure.

27. Annotate: Label & Function

28. Nucleus
Nucleus: This is the largest of the organelles. The nucleus contains the chromosomes which during interphase are to be found the nucleolus. The nucleus has a double membrane with pores(NP). The nucleus controls the cells functions through the expression of genes. Some cells are multi nucleated such as the muscle fibre

29. Plasma Membrane
Plasma membrane: controls which substances can enter and exit a cell. It is a fluid structure that can radically change shape. The membrane is a double layer of water repellant molecules. Receptors in the outer surface detect signals to the cell and relay these to the interior. The membrane has pores that run through the water repellant layer called channel proteins.

30. Mitochondria:..
Mitochondria: location of aerobic respiration and a major synthesis of ATP region.. Double membrane organelle. Inner membrane has folds called cristae. This is the site of oxidative phosphorylation. Centre of the structure is called the matrix and is the location of the Krebs cycle. Oxygen is consumed in the synthesis of ATP on the inner membrane The more active a cell the greater the number of mitochondria.

31. Rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER).
rER form a network of tubules with a maze like structure. In general these run away from the nucleus The 'rough' on the reticulum is caused by the presence of ribosomes. Proteins made here are secreted out of the cell

32. Ribosomes:
the free ribosome produces proteins for internal use within the cell.

33. Golgi apparatus.
Modification of proteins prior to secretion. proteins for secretion are modified possible addition of carbohydrate or lipid components to protein packaged into vesicles for secretion

34. Lysozyme:
Vesicles in the above diagram that have formed on the golgi apparatus. Containing hydrolytic enzymes. Functions include the digestion of old organelles, engulfed bacteria and viruses.
