PROKARYOTIC ORGANISMS

 PROKARYOTES

➤DEFINITION ;

★PROKARYOTIC CELLS HAVE NO PROMINENT NUCLEUS AND MEMBRANE

   BOUND ORGANELLES . 

➤DERIVED FROM;

★IT IS DERIVED FROM GREEK WORD PRO MEANS "BEFORE" AND KARYON

   MEANS "NUCLEUS".

➤GENETIC MATERIAL;

★IN PROKARYOTIC CELLS THE GENETIC MATERIAL (DNA) IS WITHOUT ANY

   NUCLEAR MEMBRANE COVERING AND IS DIRECTLY SUBMERGED IN THE

  CYTOPLASM.

➤PROKARYOTES;

★ORGANISMS POSSESSING PROKARYOTIC CELLS CALLED PROKARYOTES.

➤DIVISION OF CELLS;

★IN PROKARYOTES MITOSES IS MISSING AND CELL DIVIDES BY BINARY 

   FISSION.

➤RIBOSOMES;

★PROKARYOTIC CELLS HAVE SMALL SIZED RIBOSOMES "SEDIMENTS AT 

 70S".

➤DISTINCTIVE FEATURE OF PROKARYOTES;

★PERHAPS THE MOST DISTINCTIVE FEATURE OF THE PROKARYOTIC CELL IS

   ITS "CELL WALL" ,COMPOSED OF POLYSACCHARIDE CHAINS BOUND BY

   COVALENTLY TO SHORTER CHAINS OF AMINO ACIDS FORMING

 PEPTIDOGLYCON OR MUREIN.

➤FOR EXAMPLES;

★BACTERIA

★CYANOBACTERIA (BLUE GREEN ALGAE)

★E.COLI (ESCHERICHIA COLI)

★MYCOPLASMA

★ARCHAEA

Define Heartbeat ?

HEARTBEAT ➤ The alternating  relaxations and contractions make up the cardiac cycle and one   complete  cardiac cycle makes one heartbeat.and in other words, one complete pulsation  of the heart  is called heartbeat. It is the complete regular movement movement of our  heart as it passes  blood around your body. STEPS OF CARDIAC CYCLE ➤ C omplete cardiac cycle consist of the following steps .   CARDIAC DIASTOLE ➤ Atria and ventricles relax and blood is filled in atria. this period is called cardiac   diastole.  In short, it is the period of relaxation of heart muscles.In one complete heartbeat,   diastole  lasts about 0.4 seconds. ATRIAL SYSTOLE ➤ It is the last phase in diastole during which the ventricular filling is  competed.    Immediately  after their  filling, both atria contracts and pump blood towards ventricles.   This period in  cardiac cycle is called  atrial systole.In o...
