TRANSCRIPT
Early earth and the origin of life
• Universe is 10-20 billion years old
• Atmosphere H first then other gases
• Earth solidifies 4.1 bya• 1st photosynthetic
prokaryotes 3.5 bya
Universal Cell Components
• cell membrane• cytoplasm• genetic material (DNA)• ribosomes
– for protein synthesis

BacteriaThe Smallest, Simplest Cells
ALL BACTERIA ARE PROKARYOTES.
rod-shaped
spherical

spirilliform
Prokaryotic Features• DNA is in a single-stranded loop
– No chromosomes, mitosis, or meiosis– Lack a membrane-bound nucleus
• No mitochondria, chloroplasts, or other organelles
• Cell walls are chemically unlike any eukaryote cell walls
Advanced Prokaryote Features
Campbell Fig. 27.5
• interior membranes• bacterial flagellum• some are photo-autotrophic

Bacteria are Important
• Pathogens (“disease-causing”) are parasites on living cells and organisms
• Decomposers rot dead material, recycling essential nutrients
• Mutualists with -– plants: root-knot rhizobia fix nitrogen– fungi: cyanobacteria are part of lichens– animals: intestinal bacteria digest cellulose
Commercial Bacteria
• Lactose-users make yogurt and cheese• Soil bacteria make many antibiotics• Intestinal bacteria used as “lab rats” in cell
biology• Cyanobacteria are important for marine
and freshwater food chains
3 Domains of LifeCampbell Fig. 27.1, 27.11, Table 27.2
• Archaea are also prokaryotes• Recently separated from Bacteria
– Cell wall chemistries are different – Archaea genes more like eukaryotes’
• Only Eukarya have a proper nucleus
Archaea
• unusual environmental tolerances: – extreme halophiles– extreme thermophiles– methanogens
Campbell Fig. 27.10
Eukaryotes
• true cell nucleus:– nuclear membrane– linear DNA, organized into chromosomes– replicate by mitosis and meiosis
• Plants, animals, and fungi are eukaryotes.• Many unicellular algae and protozoans are
also eukaryotes.
Evolution of Eukaryotic CellsCampbell Fig. 28.2
Step 1: Nuclear and endo-plasmic membranes (kingdom Archezoa)
Step 2: Organelles acquired by symbiosis (remaining 7 kingdoms)
Organelles• Bacteria that were parasites, became
mutualists– mitochondria burn sugars, etc., for energy– chloroplasts photosynthesize more energy– chloroplasts were lost during evolution of many
living eukaryotes, such as animals and fungi
