The history of eukaryotes |
they first appeared approximately 2 billion years ago.
Evidence suggests evolution from prokaryotic organism by symbiosis.
Organelles originated from prokaryotic cells trapped inside them. |
|
|
Symbiosis |
Two or more organisms in mutual relationship |
|
|
Eukaryotic: external boundary of cell internal |
External:
appendages flagella cilia glycocalyx capsules slimes
Boundary of cell:
cell wall cytoplasmic membrane
Internal:
cytoplasmic matrix
nucleus
organelles-[endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex-lysosomes, mitochondria, chloroplasts]
Ribosomes
cytoskeleton-[microtubules,microfilaments] |
|
|
External boundary structure:
Locomotor appendages:
Flagella |
Long, sheathed cylinder containing microtubules in a 9+2 arrangement
Covered by an extension of the cell membrane
Function in motility |
|
|
Cilia |
Similar in overall structure to flagella but shorter and more numerous
Found only on a single group of Protozoa and certain animals cells
Functions in motility, feeding and filtering |
|
|
Glycocalyx |
An outermost boundary that comes into direct contact with environment
Appears as a network of fibers, a slime layer or a capsule
Function in adherence, protection and signal reception |
|
|
Cell wall
|
Rigid, provide structural support and shape |
|
|
Fungi |
Have thick layer mainly composed of chitin |
|
|
Algae |
Substances commonly found include cellulose |
|
|
Protozoa |
A few algae and all animal cells lack a cell wall and have only a cell membrane |
|
|
Cell membrane |
Typical bilayer of phospholipids and proteins
Sterols confer stability
Serves as selectively permeable barrier in transport |
|
|
Internal structures:
Nucleus |
Compact sphere, most prominent organelle of eukaryotic cell
Nuclear envelope composed of two parallel membranes separated by a narrow space and is perforated with pores
Contains chromosomes |
|
|
Nucleolus |
Dark area for rRNA synthesis and ribosomes assembly |
|
|
Endoplasmic Reticulum - Two Types:
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) |
Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) - originates from the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope and extends through cytoplasm; rough due to ribosome; site for protein synthesis |
|
|
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) |
Closed tubular network without ribosomes; functions in nutrient processing, synthesis and storage of nonprotein molecules such as lipids |
|
|
Golgi Apparatus |
Consists of a stack of flattened sacs with spaces or cisternae
Transitinal vesicles from the er containing proteins go to the golgi apparatus for modification and maturation
Condensing vesicles transport proteins to organelles such as lysosome or transported outside the cell as secretory vesicles |
|
|
Lysosomes |
Vesicles containing enzymes (proteins) that originates from golgi apparatus
Involved in intracellular digestion of food particles and in protection against invading microbes |
|
|
Mitochondria |
(Energy generators/fuel house)
Consists of an outer membrane and an inner membrane with folds called cristae
Cristae - holds the enzymes and site for aerobic respiration
Divide independently of cell
Contain DNA and prokaryotic Ribosomes
Function in energy production |
|
|
Chloroplast |
Found in algae and plant cells
Outer membrane covers inner membrane folded into sacs, thylakoids, stacked into
Larger than mitochondria
Contain photosynthetic pigments - chlorophyll
Convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis |
|
|
Ribosomes |
Composed of rRNA and proteins
Larger than prokaryotic ribosomes
Function in protein synthesis
80s - two subunits, 60s and 40s |
|
|
Cytoskeleton |
Flexible framework of proteins, microfilaments and mircotubules from work throughout cytoplasm
Involved in movement of cytoplasm, amoeboid movement
-Transport -Structural -Anchors Organelles

Fungi Algae Protozoa Parasitic worms |
|
|
Kingdom fungi |
100,000 species divided into 2 groups:
Macroscopic fungi - (mushrooms, puffballs, gill fungi)
Microscopic fungi - (molds, yeasts)
Fungal infections are known as mycoses
Who studies mycoses? mycologist |
|
|
Microscopic fungi |
Exist in two morphologies:
Yeast - single celled, round ovoid shape, a sexual reproduction
Molds - multi-cellular, contains multiple identical nuclei, have long filaments known as hyphae
Some exist in either form - dimorphic - characteristic of some pathogenic molds
An example is penicillium mameffei
At room temperature, it grows as a mold
At body temperature, it grows as a yeast |
|
|
Fungal organization:
Filaments fungi
|
Mass of hyphae called mycelium, cottony, hairy, or velvety texture
Primarily through spores formed on reproductive hyphae
Spores helps to identify the fungi
Asexual Reproduction - spores are formed through budding or mitosis; conidia or sporangiospores |
|
|
Sexual Reproduction |
Spore are formed following fusion of male and female strains and formation of sexual structure |
|
|
Zygospore |
Is one types of sexual spores |
|
|
Kingdom Protista |
Algae Protozoa
(Protista - algae & Protozoan) |
|
|
Algae |
Photosynthesis organisms
Contain chloroplasts with chlorophyll and other pigments
Cell wall - cellulose
Most are free - living in fresh and marine water |
|
|
Plankton:
Plankton |
Small and microscopic oraganisms drifting or floating in the sea or fresh water |
|
|
Dinoflagellates |
Coastal marine species which "bloom" during the warm months of summer. These species reproduce in such great numbers that the water may appear golden or red, producing a "RED TIDE"
They produce toxins, eating affected fish, clams, oysters, shellfish can cause neurological damage |
|
|
Protozoa |
Vary in shape, lack a cell wall
Some are animal parasites and can be spread by insect vectors |
|
|
Protozoa |
Most have locomotor structure - flagella, cilia, or pseudopods
Exist as trophozoite - motile feeding stage
Many can enter into a dormant resting stage when conditions are unfavorable for growth and feeding - cyst
(Latent stage & inactive stage) |
|
|
