During this process, electrons are shuttled through an iron-containing cytochrome enzyme system along membranes of the cristae which result in the phosphorylation of ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to form ATP (adenosine triphosphate). In fact, chloroplast DNA, including the protein-coding RBCL gene, is often used at the family level to show the relationships between genera and species within plant families
Chromosomal instability and cilia The cell makes use of an elaborate and elegant system of checkpoints to prevent and counteract cellular transformation and cancerous outgrowth. In addition to the tumor suppressors in familial cancer development described above, a number of additional tumor suppressors and oncogenes, not directly associated with familial cancer syndromes but often somatically mutated in sporadic cancers, also can affect cilia biogenesis

Nevertheless, the nuclei of the nerve cells do not lose their capacity for division; transplanted into the cytoplasm of cancerous cells, they synthesize DNA and divide. The products of cell activity may accumulate temporarily in the canals of the endoplasmic reticulum; in some cells the substances are actually transported through these canals.Before being carried out of the cell, substances are concentrated in the lamellar Golgi apparatus, which isolates various cell inclusions, such as secretory or pigment granules, and in which lysosomes are formed (sacs containing hydrolytic enzymes and participating in the intracellular digestion of many substances)
The Cytoskeleton
(photo at right) In the photo (courtesy of Mary Osborn), a fluorescent stain has been used to show the intermediate filaments of keratin in two epithelial cells. Microtubule motors There are two major groups of microtubule motors: kinesins (most of these move toward the plus end of the microtubules) and dyneins (which move toward the minus end)

Clostridium (tetanus, gas gangrene), Bacillus (anthrax) CYSTS : also dormant, but unlike endospores are not resistant to heating at high temperatures 9
In addition, microtubules are the major components of cilia and flagella, and participate in the formation of spindle fibers during cell division (mitosis). Since eukaryotic cells greatly depend upon the integrity of microtubules and other cytoskeletal filaments to maintain their structure and essentially to survive, many plants produce natural toxins aimed at disrupting the microtubule network as a means of self-defense
Eukaryotes VS Prokaryotes, Cell Structure and Differences Under the Microscope
Cell Theory Whether prokaryotes, eukaryotes or protists, four points apply to all types of cells: All organisms contain one or more cellsAll cells come from pre-existing cells All life functions occur within the boundaries of cells All cells contain genetic material needed to regulate cell function and pass this information to new cells German scientists Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann are accredited with the basics of cell theory, which was later expanded by Rudolf Virchow; many other scientists have offered contributions, refining cell theory as the instruments used to study cells advanced over the decades. In addition, possessing the skills to identify different organelles found in eukaryotes under a variety of environments or circumstances yields numerous research possibilities
Structures and Functions of Microtubules
The arms, spokes, and links hold microtubules together and allow interaction between microtubules that is superficially similar to the sliding of actin and myosin filaments in muscle contraction.

The matrix, or inner space created by the cristae, contains the enzymes necessary for the many chemical reactions that eventually transform food molecules into energy. In the small intestine, these epithelial cells are specialized for their absorptive function: each epithelial cell is covered with thousands of small projections called microvilli
As well as supporting the pellicle with its powerfully beating cilia, the kinetodesma are also involved in changing cell shape and some ciliates have very flexible pellicles and are very pleomorphic (able to change into many different shapes). In multicellular animals, cilia are frequently employed for transport of fluids - fields or tracts of cilia propel water over the gills of many creatures, such as the gills of the mussel (Mytilus) or the radial canals that transport fluids around the bodies of jellyfish, or the cilia lining your bronchi that drive mucus out from the lungs
The mechanochemical force for motility is provided by dynein arms (large multisubunit ATPase enzymes) that cause the doublet microtubules to slide past each other. The assembly of the axoneme is tightly regulated by the expression of specific genes, by the limited amount of axonemal precursor proteins and by kinase enzymes
Cilia and Flagella
When the cilium bends the other way, the partial microtubules on the opposite side disappear while they reappear on what is now the lower or concave side. cross-bridges of the motor protein dynein that extend from the complete microtubule of one filament to the partial microtubule of the adjacent filament
The motion of flagella is often undulating and wave-like, whereas the motile cilia often perform a more complicated 3D motion with a power and recovery stroke. For example, If the cilia in the fallopian tubes are not functioning properly then the fertilized ovum will not reach the uterus and thus result in ectopic pregnancy
Assembly and Motility of Eukaryotic Cilia and Flagella. Lessons from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
It has been proposed that the rotating central pair projections function like a distributor to activate sequentially subsets of radial spokes and dynein arms (Omoto et al., 1999). The molecular map has served as the basis for developing a physical map of the genome based on overlapping contigs of bacterial artificial chromosome clones aligned with the genetic and molecular map
If nexin and the radial spokes are subjected to enzyme digestion, and exposed to ATP, the doublets will continue to slide and telescope up to 9X their length

Further, a dynein regulatory complex, located at the junction between the radial spokes and inner dynein arms, has recently been identified by genetic suppressor studies. Each tektin filament, which is 2 nm in diameter and approximately 48 nm long, runs longitudinally along the wall of the outer doublet where the A tubule is joined to the B tubule.The axoneme is held together by three sets of protein cross-links (see Figure 19-28a)
Eukaryotic cilia and flagella are generally differentiated based on size and number: cilia are usually shorter and occur together in much greater numbers than flagella, which are often solitary. In some organisms, such as the unicellular Chlamydomonas, basal bodies are locationally and functionally altered into centrioles and their flagella resorbed before cell division
