Document Summary

2 broad groups of life: prokaryotes-lack a membrane bound nucleus, eurkaryotes-have a nucleus. The three domains according to phylogeny or evolutionary history are: bacteria-prokaryotic, archaea-both, eukarya-eukaryotic. Contain several structural similarities to other bacteria. Most prokaryotic species have one supercoiled circular chromosome in the nucleoid region of the cell. The chromosome contains a long strand of dna, a few supportive proteins. It is supercoiled with the aid of enzymes to form a compact structure. Many bacteria contain plasmids-genes not required for cells to live. They are small supercoiled circular dna molecule. Contain genes that help the cell adapt to environmental conditions. Other structures in prokaryotic cells are contained within the cytoplasm. Ribosomes: consist of rna molecules and protein. Support the inside of the cell with a network of long thin protein filaments. Bacterial organelles are internal compartments in many bacterial species. An organelle is a membrane bound compartment inside the cell. Contains enzymes or structures specialized for a particular function.
