Amino acids polymerise into...
proteins
1 of 13
Purines and pyramidines polymerise into...
polynucleotides which can directly guide the formation of exact copies of their own sequence
2 of 13
Plasma Membrane
maintains homeostasis, is selectively permeable, communicates with outside environment, aids in binding and adhering.
3 of 13
Cell Theory
cells are fundamental units of life, all organisms are composed of cells, cells come from pre-existing cells.
4 of 13
Cell surface limited by...
surface-area:volume ratio
5 of 13
Surface
area that interfaces with the cell's environment
6 of 13
Volume
measure of space inside a cell
7 of 13
Increasing volume...
decreases surface-area:volume ratio
8 of 13
Prokaryotic cells
no nucleus, lack distinct organelles, some have cell walls, outside plasma membrane which maintains shape
9 of 13
Eukaryotic cells
membrane-enclosed nucleus, compartments + organelles
10 of 13
Cell wall of bacteria
made of peptidoglycan
11 of 13
Gram -ve bacteria
outer layer of lipopolysaccharide encloses peptidoglycan layer
12 of 13
Mycoplasma
bacteria with lack of cell wall, unaffected by some antibiotics
