Explore the key differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including their cell structures, size, complexity, and mode of transport. Learn about the importance of maintaining a large surface area to volume ratio and the various types of membrane proteins. Discover the different types of transport, including passive and active transport, as well as endocytosis and exocytosis.

Prokaryote Vs. Eukaryote • “before” “kernel” • No nucleus • DNA in a nucleoid • Cytosol • No organelles other than ribosomes • Small size • Primitive • i.e. bacteria • “true” “kernel” • Has nucleus and nuclear membrane • Cytosol • Has organelles with specialized structure and function • Much larger in size • More complex • i.e. plant/animal cell
Cells must remain small to maintain a large surface area to volume ratio • Large S.A. allows increased rates of chemical exchange between cell and environment
Animal cells have intercellular junctions: • Tight junction = prevent leakage • Desomosome = anchor cells together • Gap junction = allow passage of material
Passive vs. Active Transport • Little or no Energy • Moves from high to low concentrations • Moves down the concentration gradient • i.e. diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion (with a transport protein) • Requires Energy (ATP) • Moves from a low concentration to high • Moves against the concentration gradient • i.e. pumps, exo/endocytosis
Exocytosis and Endocytosis transport large molecules • 3 Types of Endocytosis: • Phagocytosis (“cell eating” - solids) • Pinocytosis (“cell drinking” - fluids) • Receptor-mediated endocytosis • Very specific • Substances bind to receptors on cell surface
