Bacteria and Archaea Flashcards
Bacteria and Archaea similarity
Single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bounded organelles
1-10 Um
can grow at above 80
circular chromosomes
Bacteria and Archaea Difference
Bacteria use Peptidoglycan for cell wall.
Archaea use Pseudo-peptidoglycan.
B use fatty acid for membrane.
A use non-fatty acid
B use chlorophyll in photosynthesis
A don’t
Plasmids
Circular DNAs apart from the chromosome in the Prokaryotes cells
Ribosome
where proteins assembled.
Coccus (shape)
Spherical 圆球
Bacillus (shape)
rod 长条
Spirillum (shape)
spiral 捲条
Pili (pilus-singular)
organelle that allow cells to adheres to ojects
the sex pili can transfer DNA
Taxis
a response that cells move towards or away from the external food, light O2 or light
Autotrophs
Use Carbon from CO2
Heterotrophs
Carbon from organic sources : ie from the host
Phototrophs
Energy from Sun (plant)
Chemotrophs
Energy from in or organic chemicals
Transformation
Part of horizontal gene transfer (foreign gene)
Naked DNA or plasmid enter the cell
Transduction
Part of horizontal gene transfer (foreign gene)
Virus contains DNA from another cell
