  • eukaryotes include kingdoms such as protista, fungi, plants, and animals
  • life should be able to grow and divide, react to stimulus, and respond to internal and external changes
  • life must be able to take up nutrients from external environment and have a membrane bound structure
  • viruses aren't alive because they don't have a cell membrane, organelles or a nucleus and only replicate and react to and from host cells
  • eukaryotes have a nucleus, membrane bound organelles, and a cell membrane
  • eukaryotes are larger than 10 to 100 micrometers
  • prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
  • internal structures of eukaryotes include cytoplasm and organelles
  • cytoskeleton is made of microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules
  • external eukaryote structures include sometimes cell wall, glycocalyx, flagella, cilia and cytoplasmic membrane 
  • glycocalyx is a sticky carbohydrate that  help cells attach to eachother, communication, protects against dehydration
  • flagellum is used for movement by rotating like propeller or whip-like motion
  • cilia is hair-like projections on the surface of some cells that move back and forth to create waves of fluid flow over the cell's surface
  • eukaryotes with actual cell walls don’t have glycocalyx present, strengthen cell surfaces
  • Fungi algae and plants and some protozoa have cell walls which are composed of various polysaccharides
  • chitin is found in fungal cell walls
  • cellulose is found in plant cell walls
  •  cellulose is found in plant walls and fungal
  • glucomannan in fungal cell walls
  • the function of the cytoplasmic membrane is to separate the cell from its environment and to allow substances to move in and out
  • the cytoplasmic membrane contains steroid lipids to maintain fluidity
  • endocytosis is the process of engulfing material from the extracellular environment
  • exocytosis is the release of materials into the extracellular space
  • Flagella Undulate - back and forth movement, they move different from prokaryotic flagella, they push/pull cell through a medium 
  • flagella are Surrounded by extension of the cell membrane and filled with cytosol 
  • ribosomes are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum and are responsible for protein synthesis
  • eukaryotic ribosomes are larger than prokaryotic ones
  • Centrosome is where centrioles are found in the cytoplasm
  • centrioles are  involved in mitosis and cytokinesis
  • centrioles are involved in flagella and cillia development
  • centrioles are found in animals and fungi
  • cytoskeleton offers structure and protection
  •  the cytoskeleton is a network of fibres and tubules that anchors organelles and moves cytoplasmic membrane during endocytosis
  • the nucleus is the largest organelle
  • the nucleus contains DNA, RNA polymerase, histones, ribonucleoproteins (RNP), and nuclear pores
  • DNA is organized into chromatin which consists of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones
  •  RNA synthesized in nucleoli present in nucleoplasm
  • the nucleus is  surrounded by nuclear envelope and contains nuclear pores 
  • E.R is Flattened hollow tube networks continuous with nuclear envelope
  • the golgi bodies Receives, processes and packages large molecules for export
