Prokaryote cell COMPOSITION!

Macromolecule Primary Subunits Where found in cell

Proteins amino acids Flagella, pili, cell walls, cytoplasmic membranes, ribosomes, cytoplasm

Polysaccharides sugars (carbohydrates) capsules, inclusions (storage), cell walls

Phospholipids fatty acids membranes

Nucleic Acids nucleotides DNA: nucleoid (chromosome), plasmids

(DNA/RNA)  rRNA: ribosomes; mRNA, tRNA: cytoplasm

Prokaryote cell Structure• Unicellular

– bacilli, cocci, spirilli

• Size– 1/10 size of eukaryote cell

• 1 micron (1um)

• Internal structure– no internal compartments

• no membrane-bound organelles• only ribosomes

– circular, naked DNA• not wrapped around proteins

Morphology

Cocci –Staph aureus

Bacillus – Bacillus anthracis

Spirilla -

Borrelia burgdorferi

Staining Characteristics

Stains according to the thickness of the peptidoglycan layer!

Prokaryotic metabolism• How do bacteria acquire their energy & nutrients?

– autotrophs• acquire carbon from inorganic sources(CO2)

– phototrophs• photosynthetic bacteria

– chemotrophs• oxidize inorganic compounds/chemicals

– nitrogen, sulfur, hydrogen…

– heterotrophs• live on plant & animal matter• decomposers & pathogens

Bacteria as beneficial (& necessary)

• Life on Earth is dependent on bacteria– decomposers

• recycling of nutrients from dead to living– nitrogen fixation

• only organisms that can fix N2 from atmosphere– needed for synthesis of proteins & nucleic acids– plant root nodules– help in digestion (E. coli)

• digest cellulose for herbivores– cellulase enzyme

• produce vitamins K & B12 for humans– produce foods & medicines

• from yogurt to insulin

Genetic variation in bacteria• Mutations

– bacteria can reproduce every 20 minutes• binary fission

– error rate in copying DNA• 1 in every 200 bacteria has a mutation

• Genetic recombination– bacteria swap genes

• plasmids– small supplemental

The END!!!!!!!

As far as learning is concerned –

“DO or DO NOT there is not try!!!!!”
