Bacteris And Algae Flashcards
Domain
Highest taxonomic rank of organisms in the three domain system
Consists- archaea, bacteria and Eukarya.
Bacteria
Prokaryotic microorganisms, don’t contain nucleus or organelles
Single cell (unicellular)
Heterotrophic (getting food from other plants and animals)
Similarities of bacteria and archaea
Unicellular (Single cell organisms)
Contain Prokaryotes
No nucleus or membrane bound organelles
Asexual reproduction
Differences bacteria and archaea
Cell wall of BACTERIA- contain peptidoglycan while ARCHAEA does not contain peptidoglycan
Plasma membrane of ______ uses
Archaea- isoprene chains
Bacteria- fatty acid chains
enzymes in archaea are different than bacteria enzymes that read the genetic coding
archaea is able to survive in extremely hot environments
Eukarya
Contains a huge variety of living organisms of Unicellular (single) and multicellular.
Eukaryotic cells which do CONTAIN A NUCLEUS AND MEMBRANE BOUND called “mitochondria” (unlike bacteria and algae)
Makes- protists, fungi, plants, and animals
