Q

gram negative bacteria

A

more resistant to drugs, less peptidoglycan and structurally more complex- outer membrane (protects from body’s defenses) that contains lipopolysaccharaides (carbs bonded to lipids- toxic)

Q

how do prokaryotes stick to things

A

they stick to a substrate or one another by means of hair like appendages called fimbriae (shorter and more numerous than pili)

16
Q

plasmids

A

smaller rings of independently replicating DNA molecules

17
Q

phototrophs

A

energy from light

18
Q

chemotrophs

A

energy from chemicals

19
Q

autotrophs

A

only need carbon dioxide or related carbon source

20
Q

heterotrophs

A

require at least 1 organic nutrient

21
Q

anaerobic respiration

A

catabolic pathway in which inorganic molecules other than oxygen accept electrons at downhill end of electron transport chains (respiration not requiring oxygen)

22
Q

nitrogen fixation

A

process of some prokaryotes to convert nitrogen to ammonia

23
Q

metabolic cooperation

A

cooperation between prokaryotic cells allows them to use resources they can’t individually use together (photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation), can be done through a filament (connected cells)

24
Q

heterocyst

A

specialized cell that engaged in nitrogen fixation in filamentous cyanobacteria

25
Q

biofilms

A

surface coating colony of its species of prokaryotes that engage in metabolic cooperation

26
Q

binary fission

A

single prokaryote cell divides- 2 cells divide

27
Q

endosymbiosis definition

A

symbiotic relationship in which 1 organism lives inside the body of another

28
Q

explain the steps of endosymbiosis

A

eukaryotes- archaeal cell engulfed bacterium (mitochondrion)

29
Q

endosymbiont theory

A

theory that mitochondria and plastids (chloroplasts) originated as prokaryotic cells engulfed by host cells and evolved into single organism

30
Q

serial endosymbiosis

A

mitochondria developed before plastids (chloroplasts)

31
Q

secondary endosymbiosis

A

process in eukaryotic evolution in which a heterotrophic eukaryote cell engulfed a photosynthetic eukaryotic cell

32
Q

describe eukaryotes

A

large, membrane bound organelles, 1 or more linear chromosomes, mitosis/meiosis

33
Q

what features do mitochondria and chloroplasts have in common with prokaryotic cells

A

contain their own DNA in circular formation, contain their own ribosomes, responsible for their own reproduction

34
Q

what type of transport is endocytosis

A

active transport

35
Q

cotransport

A

secondary active transport that uses the energy from an electrochemical gradient to transport two different ions across the membrane through a protein

36
Q

symport

A

two different ions transported in the same direction

37
Q

antiport

A

two different ions transported in opposite directions
