Eukaryotic Cells compared to Prokaryotic Cells
The differences between eukaryotes and prokaryotes are described within the last two former posts. The following table is a reflection and minor edited table found on Pg. 87 of Microbiology with Diseases by Taxonomy, 2nd edition, by Robert Bauman., in Table 3.4 and 3.5.
Prokaryotic Cell Arrangements & Anatomy: emphasis on Cell Wall
Prokaryotes, as mentioned earlier are cells containing NO nucleus. I will write a post on the major differences of prokaryotes and eukaryotes later. In microbiology, there are plenty of research under bacteriology (study of bacteria). In this post, we will focus on bacteria (which is made up of eubacteria & archaebacteria). Relative size of bacteria [...]
Lecture 4: Replication of Eukaryotic cells
Cells are derived from other cells. Cell replication or cell division mechanism varies among the organism’s cell and type of cells. Whats so important about cell replication? Over time, cells die and thus cell replication must be necessary in order to produce more cells so your body would not fall part! Remember, the Cell Theory [...]
Lecture 3: Anatomy of Eukaryotes and Endosymbiotic Theory
In living things, such as our body, bacteria, protozoas, fungi, there are cells. These cells are broken into either eukaryotes or prokaryotes. The organelles of these cells are important in understanding how organisms work.
Lecture 1 & 2: A glimpse of Microbiology
Microbiology is literally the study of micro things, you know, small itty bitty things that can only be seen under the microscope. These tiny little guys are called microorganisms or microbes. Microbes existed long before human existence. The study of Microbiology advanced only through time with investigators, physicians, and other scholars who dedicated much of [...]
Hello [science] world!
In lieu of the dying earth and overcrowding health science students and science-loving people out there, I decided to add as much notes and information from my previous science courses here. Perhaps, for those who are or will be attending colleges, may find this site useful in your current courses. (I hope it does). Let [...]
