Study Questions:
1. List three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Study Questions:
1. List three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
- prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus
- prokaryotic cells lack membrane bound organelles like mitochondria
- prokaryotic cells are typically much smaller than eukaryotic cells
- prokaryotic cells do not produce gametes or go through mitosis.
Study Questions:
1. List three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
2. What is a biofilm?
Study Questions:
1. List three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
2. What is a biofilm?
This is an aggregated colony of bacteria, that fulfill different specialized functions in the
colony.
Study Questions:
1. List three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
2. What is a biofilm?
3. Describe the function of mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi
apparatus, and liposomes.

3. Describe the function of mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi
apparatus, and liposomes.
Mitochondria ‘digest’ pyruvate to CO2 and produce ATP that is used as energy in the
cell.
Ribosomes are the organelle that links amino acids together into a protein.
The endoplasmic reticulum is an internal network of membrane tubules that
distributes material through the cell; especially newly formed proteins.
The Golgi Apparatus is where initial proteins are modified into functional proteins
before being exported from the cell.
Liposomes are membraneous spheres that bud off the Golgi, taking proteins to the cell
membrane for dispersal beyond the cell.

4. Why is the lipid bilayer a barrier to water soluble molecules?

4. Why is the lipid bilayer a barrier to water soluble molecules?
The fatty acids of the phospholipids are non-polar. Because water soluble molecules
are polar (or charged), they cannot dissolve across the non-polar lipid bilayer.

4. Why is the lipid bilayer a barrier to water soluble molecules?
5. Describe diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport.
These are mechanisms by which material can cross the cell membrane. Diffusion ius
the passive movement of atoms, molecules, and energy from areas of high
concentration to areas of low concentration. Non-polar and very small molecules can
‘diffuse’ directly across the membrane. Large molecules and charged ions and polar
molecules must pass through protein channels to cross the membrane. When they do
this passively, from high to low concentration, it is called facilitated diffusion. Active
transport is the movement of material against its concentration gradient, from low to
high concentration. This requires energy to be spent by the cell. Only active transport
makes a cell different from its environment.

6. How does solute concentration and pressure affect water potential and osmosis.
As solute concentration increases, water potential decreases. As pressure increases,
water potential increases. Water moves from an area of high water potential to low
water potential, so water will move from dilute solutions – or those under pressure –
to more concentrated solutions (or those at lower pressure).
