The History of Eukaryotes
They first appeared approximately 2 billion years
ago. Evidence suggests evolution from
prokaryotic organisms by symbiosis. Organelles
originated from procaryotic cells trapped inside
them. -gt Endosymbiosis

contact with - environment
- - usually composed of polysaccharides
- - appears as a network of fibers, a slime layer
or a capsule - - functions in adherence, protection, and signal
reception - - beneath the glycocalyx
- -gt Fungi and most algae have a thick, rigid cell
wall. - -gt Protozoa, a few algae, and all animal cells
lack a cell wall and - have only a membrane.

- Fungi have thick inner layer of polysaccharide
fibers - composed of chitin or cellulose and a thin
layer of mixed - glycans.

mannans, silicon - dioxide, and calcium carbonate

transport - Eucaryotic cells also contain membrane-bound
organelles - that account for 60-80 of their volume.

- Endoplasmic reticulum two types
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) originates
from the outer membrane of the nuclear envelop
and extends in a continuous network through
cytoplasm rough due to ribosomes proteins
synthesized and shunted into the ER for packaging
and transport first step in secretory pathway - Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) closed
tubular network without ribosomes functions in
nutrient processing, synthesis and storage of
lipids, etc.

organelles or - secretory proteins to the outside.

energy through - photosynthesis
- - primary producers of organic nutrients for
other organisms

Microscopic fungi
- Exist in two morphologies
- -gt yeast round ovoid shape, asexual
reproduction, unicellular - -gt hyphae long filamentous fungi or molds
- Some exist in either form dimorphic
- mold-like at low temperature, yeast like at 37
degrees C, characteristic of some pathogenic molds
