RNA virus, such as HIV, with reverse transcriptase in its core
Retrovirus
lives in hot acidic environments, including hot springs and deep sea vents
Thermoacidophiles
live in salty environments
Halophiles
obligate anaerobes-won’t live in the presence of oxygen, obtain energy through fermentation
Methanogens
submicroscopic hair like structures
Pili
make proteins
Ribosomes
genetic structure
Chromosomes
tough layer protecting the cell
Capsule
protect cell
Cell Wall
longer tail-like structure for movement
Flagella
smaller piece of DNA, circular arrangement
Plasmid
dark purple, large amount of peptidoglycan
Gram-positive
light pink, small amount of peptidoglycan
Gram-negative
division of cells into 2 genetically identical cells
Binary Fission
2 prokaryotes attach and exchange genetic information new gene combinations
Conjugation
