Document Summary

Cell theory: all organisms consist of cells and all cells are derived from preexisting cells. All cells have : nucleic acids that store and transmit information, proteins that perform most of the cell"s functions, carbohydrates that provide chemical energy, carbon, support, and identity; and, plasma membrane, which is selectively permeable and a barrier. Cells are divided into prokaryotes and eukaryotes based on morphology (form science). Eukaryotes: have a membrane-bound compartment called a nucleus; prokaryotes: none. According to phylogeny (tribe source), organisms are divided into 3 domains: bacteria prokaryotic, archaea prokaryotic, eukarya: includes algae, fungi, plants, and animals eukaryotic. Plasmids: circular, supercoiled dna which contains genes by is independent of chromosome. Photosynthetic membrane complexes: convert energy in sunlight to chemical energy in sugars; contain enzymes and pigments for this to occur. **bacteria have organelles: membrane-bound compartment inside cell that contains enzymes of structures specialized for a particular function. Cytoskeleton: long, thin fibers or protein filaments that help the cell maintain shape.
