Basic Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Flashcards
Types of Bacteria
spirochetes, chlamydias, proteobacteria, cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria
Photosynthetic, first photosynthesizers- later become chloroplasts via endosymbiosis.
Spirochetes
gram negative, spiral shaped bacteria with axial filaments: motile, lyme disease, syphilis
Chlamydias
small obligate parasites, gram negative cocci, unique reproductive cycle: elementary bodies and reticulate bodies. Eye infections, STDs
Proteobacteria
most diverse group of bacteria, later become mitochondria through endosymbiosis. Ecoli, Vibrio cholerae, Yersinia pestis, Salmonella. mostly gram negative.
Archaea vs. Bacteria
Archaea: unique lipids- esther linkages
Bacteria: peptidoglycan in cell wall, ether linkages
Archaea
extremophiles- found in extremely acidic saline/ hot environments, within in prokaryotes
Bacteria
WIthin prokaryotes, non nucleus, no mitochondria, no chloroplasts, peptidoglycan in cell wall
Staphylococcus
Gram- positive, cause disease
Bacillus anthrax
gram positive, cause disease
Major Eukarya
Alveolates, stramenophiles, excavates, plants, amoebozoans, opisthokonts
Alveolates
unicellular protists with sacs beneath membranes, secondary endosymbiosis of red algae
types: dinoglagellate, ciliate, plasmodium
dinoflagellates
2 flagella, tertairy endosymbiosis of chloroplasts, endosymbiant of coral.
ciliate
covered in cilia- movement. aquatic
Stramenophiles
2 unequal flagella- brown algae, diatoms
