    Cell Membrane To Glycocalyx

    Uploaded by

    Jared Mabulay
    The cell membrane is a thin, flexible structure that encloses the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. It is selectively permeable and controls what substances enter or leave the cell. It consists of proteins and phospholipids, and has various enzymes attached where metabolic reactions occur. In prokaryotes, cellular respiration takes place in the cell membrane due to the lack of mitochondria. Some prokaryotes have inward foldings of the membrane called mesosomes that contain pigments for photosynthesis. Prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles.

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    Presented by: Jared Mabulay

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    Also known as the Plasma,


    Cytoplasmic, or Cellular
    membrane.

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    Thin and flexible.

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    Encloses the cytoplasm of


    the prokaryotic cell.

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    Consists of proteins and


    phospholipids.

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    Selectively permeable

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    Controls the substances that


    may enter or leave the cell.

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    Many enzymes are attached to


    the cell membrane.

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    Where various metabolic


    reactions take place.

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    Cellular respirations occur in


    Prokaryotic cells due to the lack
    of mitochondria which usually
    produces energy in eukaryotic
    cells.

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    Mesosomes Inward foldings


    on the
    cell membrane.
    Believed to be where
    cellular respirations occur.

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    In cyanobacteria and
    photosynthetic bacteria, the
    infoldings of the membrane
    contains chlorophyll and other
    pigments to trap light energy for
    photosynthesis.

    THE CELL MEMBRANE

    Prokaryotic cells dont contain any


    membrane bound organelles or
    vesicles.
    i.e. Mitochondria, lysosomes, the
    endoplasmic reticulum, and the Golgi
    apparatus

    THE CELL WALL


    Presented by: Jared Mabulay

    Provides cell with rigidity,


    strength, and protection.

    Mainly constituted of a
    peptidoglycan
    Also called Murein
    A complex
    macromolecular polymer

    The thickness and exact


    composition of cell walls vary
    with the species of bacteria.

    Gram-Positive Bacteria
    Has a thick layer of Murein
    combined with teichoic acid
    and lipoteichoic acid.

    Gram-Negative Bacteria
    Much thinner layer of Murein
    Covered with a complex layer
    of lipid macromolecules

    Although most bacteria have


    cell walls, bacteria in the genus
    Mycoplasma do not.

    Archea have cell walls but, but


    they dont contain
    peptidoglycans.

    Some bacteria lose their ability to


    produce cell walls, transforming
    into tiny variants of the same
    species referred to as L-form or
    Cell wall-deficient (CWD).

    Clinicians are often unaware of


    the presence of CWD in their
    patients.
    This is because CWD bacteria do
    not grow in laboratory
    conditions; They must be
    cultured in a different medium
    and a different temperature.

    GLYCOCALYX
    Presented by: Jared Mabulay

    GLYCOCALYX

    Thick, slimy, gelatinous layer


    of material produced by the
    cell membrane secreted
    outside the cell wall of some
    bacteria.

    GLYCOCALYX

    The two types of glycocalyx are


    the Slime Layer and the
    Capsule.

    SLIME LAYER

    Not highly organized.


    Not firmly attached.
    Can easily detach from the
    cell wall and drift away.

    SLIME LAYER

    Bacteria in the genus


    Pseudomonas produce a
    slime layer, which
    sometimes plays a role in
    diseases.

    SLIME LAYER

    Slime layers enable certain


    bacteria to glide or slide
    along solid surfaces, and
    seem to protect bacteria
    from antibiotics and
    desiccation

    CAPSULE

    Highly organized
    Firmly attached.
    Consists of polysaccharides
    which may be combined
    with lipids and proteins
    depending on the bacterial
    species

    CAPSULE

    Bacterial capsules serve an


    antiphagocytic function,
    meaning that they protect
    encapsulated bacteria from
    being phagocytized by white
    blood cells.
