Document Summary
Section 3. 1, header: how do amino acids link to form proteins? (pp. Chapter 4, the eukaryotic cell in overview: plasma membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, er, golgi, 7. 2 eukaryotic cells structures and their functions. Cytosol - fluid portion between the plasma membrane and the organelles. Prominent differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic chromosomes are found inside a membrane-bound compartment called the nucleus. Eukaryotic cells are often much larger than prokaryotic. Eukaryotic cells contain excessive amounts of internal membrane. Eukaryotic cells feature a particularly diverse and dynamic cytoskeleton. Nucleus - contains chromosomes and functions as administrative center for information storage and processing. Nuclear envelope - double membrane that encloses the nucleus. Inside surface linked to fibrous proteins that form lattice-like sheets called nuclear lamina. Chromosomes do not float randomly around the nucleus. Each one is in a distinct area (will vary with cell types and time in replication)
