Prokaryotes - A type of organism that is single celled, lacks a nucleus, and contains no membrane bound organelles.
This kind of organism utilizes aerobic respiration when oxygen is present, but can also use fermentation when oxygen is not.
Organisms that cannot tolerate environments with oxygen present as it would lead to cell death and instead utilize fermentation anaerobic respiration.
Organisms that require oxygen for cell respiration
Prokaryotic cells don't have a membrane bound organelle for their DNA, rather they have a recognized region where DNA is located known as the nucleoid.
Materials Present
Controls the synthesis of proteins and provides essential messenger functions for DNA.
Its structure varies from DNA in that it has ribose sugars instead of deoxyribose, is single-stranded, and has uracil instead of thymine
Bacterial Genome
Endospores are essential for bacteria living under extreme conditions. It protects the DNA of the cell by making a dormant and resistant cell that can survive various circumstances.
As the rest of the cell disintegrates, the DNA is protected by the multiple layers of cell wall material surrounding it, forming the endospore.
Gas vacuoles assist in buoyancy for flotation in aquatic environments.
This structure surrounds the cell wall of bacteria as a sticky later of polysaccharide or protein, and helps the cell for adhesion and protection.
The flagella is important for the cell's motility, and contains a hook a basal body. It can exist either around the surface of the cell, or be concentrated in one area.
Ribosomes are present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and are essential for protein synthesis.
The cytoplasm consists of gel-like cytosol, water based solution with ions and small molecules, and makes up the internal part of the cell inside the plasma membrane.
Present in all prokaryotes, the cell wall maintains the cell's shape, and provides protection and support. This structure is made of modified sugars with short polypeptides called peptidoglycan.
Peptidoglycan
This substance that makes up the cell wall is unique to bacteria, and can be used to target them specifically.
Fimbriae are short abundant structures used by bacteria to stick to other bacteria, while longer pili assist in transferring DNA between cells.
The plasma membrane is a selectively permeable barrier for the cell. It provides boundaries between the inside of the cell and its environment, facilitates the transport of nutrients and waste, and is where metabolic processes occur.
Factors of fluidity
The weak Van der Waal forces present in the membrane allow for the movement of lipids. The fluidity of the membrane however is determined by a few factors.
Cholesterol embedded within the plasma membrane allows for the regulation of the movement in phospholipids by reducing movement at moderate temperatures and preventing the overpacking of saturated fatty acids at low temperatures by acting as a buffer.
Types of fatty acids present
The ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids also affects the fluidity of the membrane. Saturated fatty acids lack the structural kink that is present in unsaturated fats, allowing the phospholipids to pack together more tightly, and resulting in a more rigid structure.
Temperature
At a specific lower temperature, the membrane's phospholipids change from their more liquid, crystalline phase, to a more gel-like phase.
Transport of molecules
The membrane being selectively permeable means only certain molecules can pass through without assistance.
Molecules that can transport across the membrane
Molecules that cannot
Specific structures
The plasma membrane is made up of an amphipathic phospholipid bilayer, with hydrophilic heads bordering the outside and inside of the cell, and the hydrophobic tails making up the interior of the membrane.
This arrangement is held together by weak Van der Waal forces that allow lipids to move within the membrane and provides fluidity.
The membrane also consists of proteins located on the surface (surface proteins), within the membrane (integral proteins), and with chains of polypeptides (glycoproteins).
A category of prokaryotic micro-organisms
Methanogens
Another prokaryote in the archaea domain are methanogens. These can be found in hydrothermal vents, the guts of animals, and wetlands. They are anaerobic, meaning oxygen is poisonous to them, and remove excess hydrogen.
Extreme thermophiles
This kind of prokaryote can thrive in high temperatures that few other organisms can survive in. They are commonly found in many extreme temperature environments such as hot springs and hydrothermal vents.
Extreme halophiles
These kinds of archaea are able to thrive in extremely saline environments, referred to as extreme as very little amounts of organisms can survive in similar conditions.
Chemoheterotroph
Chemoheterotrophs utilize carbon from organic compounds, and are characteristics of many prokaryotes.
Photoheterotroph
The prefix photo refers to light, which this mode utilizes for energy. This trait is unique to certain aquatic and salt thriving prokaryotes. Since its a heterotroph it utilizes carbon from organic compounds.
Chemoautoroph
Inorganic chemicals
This mode, as an autotroph, means a prokaryote gets its energy from inorganic chemicals.
Photoautorophs
Light
Organisms that utilize light to synthesize organic molecules are known as photoautotrophs, such as cyanobacteria.
