– No Nucleus– Little Internal
Structure– Some are Motile– Unicellular or Cluster
Eukaryote 10-200 μm

• Pairs – Diplo…
Diplococcus• Chains – Strepto..
Streptococcus• Others –
Staphylococcus
Cytoplasmic Membrane
• Phospholipid Bilayer• No Sterols• Bacteria & Eukaryotes• Ester linkages• Archaea• Ether linkage• Lipid monolayer• Thermophiles
Membrane Function
• Diffusion –osmotic pressure
• Selective Permeability• Transport Proteins• Simple Transport –
proton motive force
Group Translocation
