  • Cells
    • Eukaryotic Cells
      • Animal Cells
        • Contains a plasma membrane, RER, SER, nucleus, nucleolus, lysosome, ribosome, nuclear envelope, Golgi apparatus, cytoskeleton and mitochondria
      • Plant cells
        • Has the same organelles as animal cells, but has extra organelles
        • Has a plasma membrane, RER, SER, chloroplasts, plasmodes-mata, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, vacuole, cytoskeleton, nuclear envelope, nucleolus, nucleus, ribosomes and cell wall
    • Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic
      • Prokaryotic organisms are single-celled organisms made of prokaryotic cells
      • Eukaryotic organisms are made up of eukaryotic cells
      • Both contain organelles, which have specific functions
    • Prokaryotic Cells
      • Bacteria
        • Contains a plasma membrane, ribosomes, cell wall, flagellum, DNA (bacterial chromosome)and a plasmid (ring of DNA)
    • Protein Production
      • Proteins are synthesised  at the ribosomes bound to the endoplasmic reticulum
        • They pass into the cisternae and are packaged into transport vesicles
          • Vesicles  containing the newly synthesised proteins move towards the Golgi apparatus via the transport function of the cytoskeleton
            • The vesicles fuse with the cis face of the Golgi apparatus and the proteins enter.
              • The proteins are structurally modified before leaving the Golgi apparatus in vesicles from the trans face
                • Secretory vesicles carry proteins that are to be released from the cell. The vesicles move towards and fuse with the cell-surface membrane, releasing their products by exocytosis
                • Some vesicles form lysosomes, which contains enzymes for use in the cell
    • Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic
      • DNA
        • Prokaryotes- circular DNA
        • Eukaryotes- linear DNA
      • Nucleus
        • Prokaryotes- no nucleus, DNA free in cytoplasm
        • Eukaryotes- nucleus present, DNA is inside nucleus
      • Cell Wall
        • Prokaryotes- made of polysacchar-ide, but not cellulose or chitin
        • Eukaryotes- no cell wall in animals, cellulose cell wall in plants and chitin cell wall in fungi
      • Organelles
        • Prokaryotes- few organelles and none membrane- bound
        • Eukaryotes- many organelles and contain membrane-bound
      • Flagella
        • Prokaryotes- when present are made of the protein flagellin and are arranged in a helix
        • Eukaryotes- when present are made of microtubule proteins arranged in a 9 + 2 formation
      • Ribsomes
        • Prokaryotes- small ribosomes
        • Eukaryotes- large ribosomes
      • Example
        • Prokaryotes- E.coli bacterium
        • Eukaryotes- human liver cell
