Presentation Transcript

  1. Prokaryotes Stephen Taylor i-Biology.net Image: Hospital-associated MRSA by NIAID on Flickr http://flic.kr/p/a4RLq5

  2. Prokaryotes “Before nucleus:” evolutionary precursors to eukaryotes. Escherichia coli (E. coli) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia_coli

  3. Prokaryotic Cell Parts mesosome cell wall plasma membrane pili cytoplasm nucleoid ribosomes flagella Prokaryotic cell parts are not generally membrane-bound, so we don’t refer to them as organelles. Cell structures animation: http://www.wiley.com/legacy/college/boyer/0470003790/animations/cell_structure/cell_structure.swf

  4. Prokaryotic Cell Parts mesosome cell wall: protective protein-based coating (Gram + / Gram -) plasma membrane: selectively permeable, controls entry & exit of materials to and from the cell. pili: attach to other bacteria for DNA transfer cytoplasm: contains enzymes for metabolic reactions nucleoid: closed-loop of bacterial DNA in a condensed area ribosomes: protein synthesis (transcription & translation) flagella: whiplash-like motion causes movement Cell structures animation: http://www.wiley.com/legacy/college/boyer/0470003790/animations/cell_structure/cell_structure.swf

  5. Prokaryotic Cell Parts mesosomes These don’t really exist naturally as bacterial cell parts, and could be an example of a paradigm shift in thinking. They were observed in some electron micrographs and thought to be in-folds of membrane used for division, respiration or making cell walls… … turns out they are an artifact of the preparation method for some electron microscopeimages. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesosome Cell structures animation: http://www.wiley.com/legacy/college/boyer/0470003790/animations/cell_structure/cell_structure.swf

  6. Past-paper question: E. coli TEM image Identify these structures: I. II. III. IV. Calculate the magnification of the image. Image from IB Biology QuestionBankCDRom – get a copy here: https://store.ibo.org/biology

  7. Past-paper question: E. coli TEM image Identify these structures: I. Plasma membrane II. Cell wall / pili III. Nucleoid IV. Cytoplasm / ribosomes Calculate the magnification of the image.1. Measure the scale bar in mm. 2. Multiply x 1000 to convert to μm. That is the magnification. How long is the bacterium?

  8. PROKARYOTES E P R O D U C E through binaryfission two-parts splitting

  9. PROKARYOTES binaryfission E P R O D U C E through The closed-loop DNA of the bacterium makes copies through semi-conservative DNA replication. New plasmids are pulled to opposing poles by the spindle fibres. The bacterium divides in two.
