Archaea I Bacteria Flashcards
Prokaryotic or eukaryotic: archaea
Prokaryote
3 types of archaea
① methanogen’S
② halophile’S
③ thermoacidophiles
Properties of methanogen’S
Habitat: swamps, Marsh
Produce: methane
Anaerobic (no 02)
Use: c02, n2, as energy
Halophile’S
Habitat: saline (saltwater)
Thermoacidophiles
Habitat: heat and acid
5 classifications of Bacteria
① shape ② cell wall ③ food and energy requirements ④ oxygen ⑤ RNA sequence
What are the 3 shapes of bacteria?
Coccus (shepherical)
Bacillus (rod-shaped)
Spirillum (screw)
2 types of bacterial cell wall
Gram positive
Gram negative
Difference between grampositive vs gram negative
Gram positive (purple) - thick peptidoglycan layer - one plasma membrane Gram negative (Pink) - thin peptidoglycan layer between 2 plasma membrane
What does photosynthetic mean?
Synthesis or organic compounds energy from light
What does chemosynthetic mean?
Synthesis of inorganic compounds from inorganic
Explain process of asexual reproduction (binary fission)
Copy of parent (haploid chromosomes) ① DNA replication ② 2 daughter chromosomes ③ cell wall form ④ independent separation
Explain process of sexual reproduction of Bacteria (conjugation)
Conjugation: allows bacterium transfer of chromosomes through Pili
- sex plus (male) attaches to female
- DNA passes through
What are antibiotics?
Derived from fungi or bacteria
How do antibiotics stop bacteria
Interfere with bacteria protein synthesis
① building cellwalls and membrane
② make dnairna
