Eucaryotic cells and microorganisms
Chapter 5

3 Eucaryotic cells
4
Flagella
• long, sheathed cylinder containing microtubules in a 9+2 arrangement
• covered by an extension of the cell membrane
• 10X thicker than procaryotic flagella• function in motility
5
Flagella
6
Cilia
• similar in overall structure to flagella, but shorter and more numerous
• found only on a single group of protozoa and certain animal cells
• function in motility, feeding & filtering
7
Glycocalyx• an outermost boundary that comes into direct contact
with environment• usually composed of polysaccharides• appears as a network of fibers, a slime layer or a
capsule• functions in adherence, protection, & signal reception• beneath the glycocalyx
– fungi and most algae have a thick, rigid cell wall– protozoa, a few algae, and all animal cells lack a
cell wall & have only a membrane
8
Glycocalyx structure
9
Cell wall
• rigid & provide structural support & shape• fungi have thick inner layer of
polysaccharide fibers composed of chitin or cellulose & a thin layer of mixed glycans
• Algae – varies in chemical composition; substances commonly found include cellulose, pectin, mannans, silicon dioxide, & calcium carbonate
10
Cell membrane
• typical bilayer of phospholipids and proteins
• sterols confer stability• serve as selectively permeable barriers in
transport• eucaryotic cells also contain membrane-
bound organelles that account for 60-80% of their volume
11
nucleus
• compact sphere, most prominent organelle of eucaryotic cell
• nuclear envelope is composed of two parallel membranes separated by a narrow space & is perforated with pores
• contains chromosomes• nucleolus – dark area for rRNA synthesis &
ribosome assembly
12

13
Mitosis
14
Endoplasmic reticulum
• Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)– originates from the outer membrane of the nuclear envelop & extends in a continuous network through cytoplasm; rough due to ribosomes, proteins are synthesized & shunted into the ER for packaging & transport. First step in secretory pathway.
• Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)– closed tubular network without ribosomes, functions in nutrient processing, synthesis & storage of lipids, etc.
15
rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)
16
Golgi apparatus
• consists of a stack of flattened sacs called cisternae
• closely associated with ER• Transistional vesicles from the ER containing
proteins go to the Golgi apparatus for modification and maturation
• Condensing vesicles transport proteins to organelles or secretory proteins to the outside
17

18
Transport process
19
lysosomes
• vesicles containing enzymes• involved in intracellular digestion of food
particles & in protection against invading microbes
20
lysosomes
21
mitochondria
• consists of an outer membrane & an inner membrane with folds called cristae
• cristae hold the enzymes & electron carriers of areobic respiration
• divide independently of cell• contain DNA and procaryotic ribosomes• function in energy production
22
mitochondria
23
chloroplast
• found in algae & plant cells• outer membrane covers inner membrane folded
into sacs, thylakoids, stacked into grana• larger than mitochondria• contain photosynthetic pigments• convert the energy of sunlight into chemical
energy through photosynthesis• primary producers of organic nutrients for other
organisms
24
chloroplast
25
cytoskeleton
• flexible framework of proteins, microfilaments & microtubules form network throughout cytoplasm
• involved in movement of cytoplasm, ameboid movement, transport, & structural support
26
cytoskeleton
27
ribosomes
• composed of rRNA and proteins• 40S and 60S subunits form 80S ribosomes• larger than procaryotic ribosomes• function in protein synthesis
28
Survey of eucaryotic microbes
• Fungi• Algae• Protozoa• Parasitic helminths
29
Kingdom Fungi
• 100,000 species divided into 2 groups:– macroscopic fungi ( mushrooms, puffballs, gill
fungi)– microscopic fungi (molds, yeasts)
• majority are unicellular or colonial, a few have cellular specialization
30
microscopic fungi
• exist in 2 morphologies– yeast – round ovoid shape, asexual
reproduction– hyphae – long filamentous fungi or molds
• some exist in either form – dimorphic – characteristic of pathogens
31
Morphology of yeasts
32
Hyphae or mold
33
Fungal nutrition
• all are heterotrophic• majority are harmless saprobes living off dead
plants & animals• some are parasites, living on the tissues of other
organisms, but none are obligate; mycoses – fungal infections
• growth temperature 20o-40oC• extremely widespread distribution in many
habitats
34
Fungal Reproduction
• primarily through spores formed on special reproductive hyphae– asexual reproduction – spores are formed
through budding or in conidia or sporangiospores
– sexual reproduction – spores are formed following fusion of male & female strains & formation of sexual structure
• sexual spores are one basis for classification
35
Asexual mold spores
36
4 main divisions based on spore type
1. Zygomycota 2. Ascomycota3. Basidiomycota4. Deuteromycota – no sexual spores
37
I. Zygospores
38
II. Ascospores
39
III. Basidospores
40
Roles of fungi
• decomposers of dead plants and animals• sources of antibiotics• used in making foods & in genetic studies• adverse impact – food spoilage, mycoses,
toxin production
41
Kingdom Protista
• algae• protozoa
42
Algae
• photosynthetic organisms• kelps, seaweeds, euglenids, green algae, diatoms,
dinoflagellates, brown algae, & red seaweeds• contain chloroplasts with chlorophyll & other
pigments; cell wall; may or may not have flagella• microscopic forms are unicellular, colonial,
filamentous• macroscopic forms are colonial and multicellular• most are free-living in fresh and marine water
43
Algae
44
Algae
• classified according to types of pigments & cell wall
• provide basis of food web in most aquatic habitats
• produce large proportion of atmospheric O2• used for cosmetics, food & medical products• Dinoflagellates cause red tides & give off
toxins
45
Protozoa
• 65,000 species• most are unicellular, colonies are rare• most have locomoter structures – flagella,
cilia, or pseudopods• vary in shape• lack a cell wall & chloroplasts• can exist in trophozoite- motile feeding
stage or cyst – a dormant resistant stage
46
Protozoa
47
Protozoa
• all are heterotrophic, • most are free-living in a moist habitat• feed by engulfing other microbes & organic
matter• some are animal parasites & can be spread
by insect vectors• asexual and sexual reproduction
48
Groups based on locomotion & reproduction
• Mastigophora – flagellates• Sarcodina – amebas• Ciliophora – ciliates• Apicomplexa – all parasites motility not
well developed; produce unique reproductive structures

Parasitic Helminths
• multicellular animals, organs for reproduction, digestion, movement, protection
• parasitize host tissues• have mouthparts for attachment to or digestion of
host tissues• most have well-developed sex organs that produce
eggs and sperm.• fertilized eggs go through larval period in or out of
host body
54
Major groups of helminths
1. flatworms – flat, no definite body cavity; digestive tract a blind pouch; simple excretory & nervous systems• cestodes (tapeworms)• trematodes or flukes, are flattened , nonsegmented
worms with sucking mouthparts
2. roundworms (nematodes)- round, a complete digestive tract, a protective surface cuticle, spines & hooks on mouth; excretory & nervous systems poorly developed
55
Helminths
• 50 species parasitize humans • acquired though ingestion of larvae or eggs
in food; from soil or water; some are carried by insect vectors
• afflict billions of humans
