Document Summary

~the human microbiome cells living in our body outnumber our own cells; most of these microbes are beneficial. Three domains of life: bacteria, archaea, & eukarya. Pro-karyote = before nucleus (no nucleus = no membrane around the dna) Eu-karyote = real nucleus (with membrane around the dna) Domain eukarya 1) kingdom plantae, 2) kingdom fungi 3) kingdom animalia 4) protists (multiple kingdoms) Nucleic acids (dna) to store genetic information for protein synthesis. Proteins to perform diverse tasks (and ribosome to make proteins) Outer cell membrane to maintain a suitable internal environment. Ability to acquire energy from the environment for atp formation & the 3 types of cellular work. Prokaryotic cell (bacterium: smaller, simpler structure, dna concentrated in nucleoid region, which is not enclosed by membrane, lacks most organelles, possess unique biochemical pathways. Eukaryotic cell: larger, more complex structure, nucleus enclosed by membrane, contains many types of organelles, multiple compartments allow multi-tasking.
