Term
2 prokaryotic domains

do prokaryotes have cell walls?
Definition
yes (to maintain shape, protect from bursting in hypotonic soln)
Term
are cell walls of archaea and bacteria different? how?
Definition
yes-
Bacterial cell walls have peptidoglycan layers (+ or -)
Archaea DO NOT have peptidoglycan layers
Term
what is a capsule of (certain) prokaryotic cells made of?
Definition
polysaccharieds, it's a sticky coat that helps them attach to other cells
Term
what's a flagellum (flagella plural)
Definition
a naked protein w/o microtubules, it rotates like a propeller.
Term
is a prokaryotic flagellum homologous or analogous to a eukaryotic flagellum?
Definition
analogous
Term
endospore
Definition
a cell with a thick protective coat that allows them to live in extreme enviornment - very hot or very cold. allows cell to resume growth sometimes after centuries
Term
aerobic prokaryotes carry out cellular respiration where?
Definition
Infoldings of the Plasma Membrane
Term
Cyanobacteria carries out photosynthesis where?
Definition
infolded thylakoid membranes
Term
where is photosynthesis in eukaryotes?
Definition
chloroplasts
Term
according to evolutionists, who are the ancestors of the chloroplasts?
Definition
cyanobacteria
Term
What did aerobic prokaryotes evolve to become?
Definition
mitochondria
Term
plasmids
Definition
small rings of DNA that carries genes that might provide resistance to antibiotics (R factor)
Term
Energy Sources can be
Definition
Light or Chemical
Term
Carbon Sources can be _______ or ________?
Definition
CO2 or Organic Compounds
Term
Photo vs Chemo AUTO and HETEROtrophs
Definition
[image]
Term
How do prokaryotes obtain nourishment?
Definition
Biofilms: surface-coating colonies (recruiting of nearby cells)
Term
what are the most abundant cells on earth?
Definition
archaea
Term
halophiles
Definition
archaea that live in extremely salty conditions ("halo"=salt "phile"=loving)
Term
halophiles
Definition
Heat loving archaea ("halo"=heat)
Term
Groups of Gm - bacteria
Definition
Rhyzobium
Photosynthetic Gamma Proteobacteria (SULFUR bacteria)
Chlamydias
Myxobacteria
Spirochetes
Term
Vibrio
Definition
Genus of GM - curved rod shaped bacteria
These can cause food borne infections in undercooked seafood. Found in saltwater. They're facultative anaerobes and have polar flagellum
Term
Pathogenic bacteria cause disease by producing poisonus _______ or ________
Definition
exotoxins (GM +) or endotoxins (GM -)
Term
Exotoxins
Definition
disease causing proteins secreted by bacterial cells, some of the most powerful toxins known are exotoxins
Term
Endotoxins
Definition
component of GM- bacterial membrane that is released when cell dies or is digested by another cell
Term
staphylococcus aureus
Definition
cocci shaped exotoxin producer
Term
protista are prokaryotes, T or F?
Definition
F they're eukaryotes
Term
Algae are autotrophic or heterotrophic?
Definition
Autotrophic
Term
Protozoans are heterotrophic or autotrophic
Definition
heterotropohic- they get their E from eating bacteria & other protistas
Term
fungus-like protistas (slime molds) get their nutrition thru
Definition
Absorption
Term
endosymbosis
Definition
living within another symbotically
Term
do protistas have nuclear membrane, multiple chromosomes and organelles?
Definition
yes
Term
Some protistas evolved from _________
Definition
prokaryotes
Term
what is the difference between primary and secondary endosymbosis?
Definition
[image]
Term
The most ancient eukaryotes still living today (ex: Giardia intestinalis -no DNA, no ETC )
Definition
Diplomonads
Term
What are Parabasalids?
Definition
heterotrophic protistas

Term
Aveolates
Definition
have sacs or alveoli underneath the plasma membrane
Term
Dinoflagellates
Definition
Important phytoplankton- live w/in coral. Their blooms causes red tides
Term
Ciliates
