B. Taxonomy - Cellular Vs Acellular Flashcards
Characteristics of eukaryotic cells
Has nucleus
Have membranous organelles
80S ribosomes
Large size
Contain linear chromosomes
Characteristics of prokaryotic cells
Lack nucleus
Lack membranous organelles
70S ribosomes
Small size
Characteristics of viruses
Have DNA or RNA (not both)
Obligate intercellular parasites
Active or inactive
Structure of a virus
Protein coat (shell)
Nucleic acid on the inside
Levels of taxonomy in order
D K P C O F G s
Prokaryotic:
Domain bacteria
Cell made up of PG layer
Medical concern (cause disease)
Prokaryotic:
Domain archaea
Cell wall made up of non - PG materials
Do not cause disease
Extremophiles
Eukaryotic:
What are the four kingdoms under the domain Eukarya, which ones are multicellular, and unicellular
Multicellular
Kingdom plants
Kingdom animals
Kingdom fungi
Unicellular
Kingdom Protista
Domain Eukarya:
Kingdom plants
Photosynthesis
Don’t cause disease
Domain Eukarya:
Kingdom animals
Consumer “eat”
Ex. Helminths
Domain Eukarya:
Kingdom fungi
Decomposers (rot, decay)
Ex. Ringworm, yeast infection
Domain Eukarya:
Kingdom Protista
Protozoan- animal like ex. Trust
Algae- plant like
Fungi - like protist
Domain bacteria and domain archaea contain what kingdom
Kingdom monerans
How to write the scientific name of an organism
Genus species
(capitalize the first letter of the genus)
(Italicize the whole thing)
Ex. Esherrichia coli <– italisized
