Prokaryotic Cells

تشمل بدائيات النوى العتائق والبكتيريا ، وهي كائنات وحيدة الخلية بسيطة تفتقر إلى العضيات المرتبطة بالغشاء.
هذه الكائنات الحية محاطة بغشاء بلازما قابل للاختراق بشكل انتقائي يحيط بمكونات خلوية معلقة بحرية في السيتوبلازم اللزج.
إلى جانب غشاء البلازما ، تتمتع الخلايا البكتيرية بمستوى إضافي من الحماية على شكل جدار خلوي يساعد في الحفاظ على شكلها العام وضغطها الاسموزي الداخلي.
يتكون جدار الخلية من الببتيدوغليكان - بوليمر من الأحماض الأمينية والسكريات.
تحتوي بعض البكتيريا على طبقة دفاعية أخرى تسمى الكبسولة - طبقة عديد السكاريد تعزز التصاق الخلايا بالأسطح.
داخل الخلية ، يتجمع الحمض النووي الفردي مزدوج الشريطة في منطقة مركزية تسمى النواة ، حيث يمكن أن يتفاعل مع البروتينات العائمة بحرية.
تحتوي معظم البكتيريا أيضا على قطع دائرية عائمة بحرية من الحمض النووي ، تسمى البلازميدات ، والتي يمكن أن تتكاثر بشكل مستقل وتمنح مزايا البقاء على قيد الحياة مثل مقاومة المضادات الحيوية.
قد تحتوي بعض الأنواع البكتيرية على بروتين معين وعضيات مرتبطة بالدهون ذات وظائف متميزة.
على سبيل المثال ، تمتلك البكتيريا الزرقاء الكربوكسيات والثايلاكويدات لحصاد الطاقة الضوئية لإجراء عملية التمثيل الضوئي.

الخلايا بدائية النواة

<div style="direction: rtl;">
بدائيات النوى هي كائنات صغيرة وحيدة الخلية تشمل المجالات — العتائق والبكتيريا. تشمل البكتيريا العديد من الكائنات الحية الدقيقة الشائعة، مثل السالمونيلا والإشريكية القولونية، في حين تشتمل العتائق على الكائنات المتطرفة التي تعيش في بيئات قاسية، مثل الينابيع البركانية.

مثل الخلايا حقيقية النواة، جميع الخلايا بدائية النواة محاطة بغشاء بلازمي، ولها مادة وراثية على شكل حمض نووي دائري فردي، وسيتوبلازم يملأ الجزء الداخلي للخلية، وريبوسومات تصنع البروتينات. ومع ذلك، على عكس الخلايا حقيقية النواة، تفتقر بدائيات النوى إلى نواة أو عضيات أخرى داخل الخلايا مرتبطة بغشاء. تطفو مكوناتها الخلوية بحرية داخل السيتوبلازم، على الرغم من أن الحمض النووي الخاص بها يتجمع داخل منطقة تسمى النواة.

داخل السيتوبلازم، تحتوي العديد من بدائيات النوى على قطع صغيرة دائرية ومزدوجة الجديلة من الحمض النووي تسمى البلازميدات. وهي تختلف عن الحمض النووي الصبغي للخلية، وتحمل عددًا قليلاً من الجينات الخاصة التي توفر للبكتيريا مزايا البقاء، مثل مقاومة المضادات الحيوية. البلازميدات تتكاثر ذاتيًا ويمكن أن تنتقل بين الخلايا بدائية النواة.

تحتوي معظم البكتيريا على جدار خلوي مصنوع من الببتيدوغليكان يقع خارج غشاءها البلازمي. إنه يحمي الخلية جسديًا ويساعدها في الحفاظ على الضغط الأسموزي في بيئات مختلفة. تحتوي العديد من البكتيريا أيضًا على طبقة كبسولة لزجة تغطي جدارها الخلوي وتسمح لها بالالتصاق بالركيزة أو ببعضها البعض، وبالتالي توفير حماية إضافية.

في حين أن البكتيريا لا تحتوي على عضيات مرتبطة بغشاء، فإن بعضها لديه طيات من غشاء البلازما تؤدي وظائف متخصصة، مثل التركيب الضوئي في البكتيريا الزرقاء. لذلك، على الرغم من أن بدائيات النوى هي خلايا بسيطة مقارنة بحقيقيات النوى، إلا أنها تمتلك بعض الهياكل الفريدة التي تساعدها على القيام بوظائف معقدة وتسمح لها بالعيش في مجموعة واسعة من البيئات.

how prokaryotes survive without a nucleus

Prokaryotes are small unicellular organisms that live without a nucleus. They include the domains Archaea and Bacteria. Bacteria include common microbes such as Salmonella and E. coli, while Archaea include extremophiles that live in harsh places like volcanic springs.

Prokaryotic cells still share several basic features with eukaryotic cells. They have a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, and genetic material in the form of single, circular DNA. Their cell parts float freely in the cytoplasm because they do not have membrane-bound intracellular organelles.

Their DNA is clustered in a region called the nucleoid. Many prokaryotes also carry plasmids, which are small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecules. Plasmids are separate from chromosomal DNA and can carry genes that give survival advantages, such as antibiotic resistance. They can also self-replicate and move between prokaryotic cells.

Most bacteria have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan outside the plasma membrane. This wall helps protect the cell and supports osmotic pressure in different environments. Many bacteria also have a sticky capsule that covers the wall and helps them attach to surfaces or to other cells. Some bacteria even have infoldings of the plasma membrane for special jobs, such as photosynthesis in cyanobacteria.

what are cells?

Cells as the Building Blocks of Life

Cells are the basic building blocks of life. A bacterium can be a single cell, while a human is made of trillions of cells. Even with this range, cells share key features that support life. A living cell has a plasma membrane. This is a bilayer of lipids that separates the cytoplasm inside the cell from the outside environment. A cell also carries genetic information in the form of DNA. In prokaryotic cells, DNA is found in a region called the nucleoid. In eukaryotic cells, DNA is enclosed...

the tree of life - bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes

the-tree-of-life-bacteria-archaea-and-eukaryotes

Three Domains on the Tree of Life

The tree of life shows how living things are grouped into three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes. This classification helps explain the major branches of life and how they are related. Bacteria and Archaea are both single-celled organisms, but they are not the same. Eukaryotes include organisms with more complex cells, such as plants, animals, and fungi. Together, these three domains give a broad picture of life on Earth. Understanding the tree of life helps students compare cell...

eukaryotic compartmentalization

How Organelles Keep Cells Working

Eukaryotic cells keep their organelles separate so each part can do a specific job. Organelles such as the nucleus and mitochondria are surrounded by membranes. These membranes are selectively permeable, which means they control what enters and leaves. That control creates small internal environments with conditions suited to each organelle. These controlled spaces help organelles work more efficiently. In animal cells, lysosomes keep an acidic environment that helps their enzymes digest...

eukaryotic evolution

How Eukaryotic Cells Became Complex

Eukaryotic cells became complex through a debated evolutionary path that likely involved endosymbiosis. The most accepted model is the endosymbiont theory, which explains how organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts may have entered an ancestral cell. Other ideas include the nucleus-first hypothesis, the mitochondria-first hypothesis, and the eukaryote-first hypothesis. The nucleus-first hypothesis says an ancestral prokaryote first formed a membrane around its DNA, creating the...

animal and plant cell structure

Plant vs Animal Cell Division and Specialization

Plant and animal cells differ in how they divide, organize into tissues, and specialize for different jobs. Both cell types divide by mitosis in non-gametic cells and by meiosis in gametic cells, but the details are not the same. These differences help explain how each cell type supports growth and reproduction. During cell division, animal cells use centrosomes to organize spindle fibers and separate chromosomes. Plant cells do not have centrosomes. Instead, they use a microtubule-organizing...

cytoplasm

Cytoplasm and the Cell’s Internal Support

The cytoplasm is the cell’s internal space that holds organelles and the cytoskeleton. It is suspended in the cytosol, an aqueous fluid made of water, ions, salts, and many organic molecules. This fluid helps keep the cell organized and supports many cellular activities. The cytoplasm is also where protein synthesis and protein folding take place. The watery cytosol helps proteins fold correctly. In a folded protein, hydrophobic amino acid side chains tend to stay buried in the core, while...

the nucleus

Nuclear DNA, Chromatin, and Nucleoli

The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle that stores chromosomal DNA and helps control what proteins a eukaryotic cell makes. It acts as the cell’s control center. DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts is different because it mainly supports functions specific to those organelles. Inside the nucleus, DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones. This DNA-protein complex is called chromatin. During interphase, when the cell is not dividing, chromatin stays loosely arranged so the DNA is easy...

the dna helix

How DNA Structure Was Discovered

DNA is the genetic material that passes traits from one generation to the next in organisms and most viruses. It is made of two strands of nucleotides that twist into a spring-like double helix. The shape is not perfectly even. It also has repeating grooves called the major groove and the minor groove. The major groove forms where the sugar-phosphate backbones are farther apart. This wider space gives DNA-binding proteins, including transcription factors, better access to the bases. The minor...

the central dogma

DNA to Protein: RNA’s Role

DNA to protein flow depends on RNA as the link between genetic information and the amino acids that build proteins. Early scientists knew that DNA stores the information for cell functions and that proteins carry out most of those functions. For a long time, they did not know how the code in DNA became a working protein. At first, many people thought one gene was changed directly into its protein. Two findings in eukaryotic cells challenged that idea. Protein production does not happen in the...

mutations

Mutations in DNA and Inherited Disease

Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence. They can happen on their own during DNA copying, or they can be caused by environmental factors. Scientists describe mutations in several ways, including whether they change the amino acid sequence of a protein, how much DNA they affect, and whether they occur in somatic cells or germline cells. Some mutations are point mutations. A point mutation changes a single nucleotide in DNA. Other mutations are chromosomal alterations, which change the number...

genome size and the evolution of new genes

genome-size-and-the-evolution-of-new-genes

Genome Size and Gene Evolution

Genome size and gene evolution are linked through changes in DNA sequence and genome structure. Some genes can arise from parts of the genome that were not coding before, while others come from changes to existing genes. These shifts help explain how new genetic material can appear over time. A genome is the full set of DNA in an organism. Its size can change as DNA is added, removed, or rearranged. The transcript highlights that genome size is not fixed, and that these changes can shape the...

gene families

Shared Origins of Gene Families

Gene families are groups of related genes that share a common origin. They form when genes are copied and then change over time. These related genes can be found within the same genome. The video also connects gene families to homologous genes and orthologous genes. Homologous genes are genes with a shared evolutionary origin. Orthologous genes are homologous genes found in different species. Gene families help show how these relationships are used to study evolution and related gene functions.

gene evolution - fast or slow?

Gene Evolution Rates and Selection

Gene evolution can happen at different rates, and natural selection helps shape those changes. Some genes change slowly because important DNA changes are removed over time. Other genes can change more quickly when different mutations are kept in a population. The rate of evolution depends on how a gene is used and how strongly it is affected by selection. Genes with essential jobs often stay more similar across species. Genes under weaker pressure may show more variation and may evolve faster.<br...

types of genetic transfer between organisms

types-of-genetic-transfer-between-organisms

Vertical and Horizontal Gene Transfer

Genetic transfer between organisms happens in two main ways: vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. These two routes explain how hereditary material moves from one generation to the next or between organisms that are not parent and offspring. Vertical gene transfer passes genes from parent to offspring during reproduction. This is the usual way genetic information is inherited in living things. Horizontal gene transfer moves genetic material between organisms outside of...
