Answer 12

Transformation- external dna taken up by prokaryote. prokaryote dies it releases dna and plasmids which is taken up by other prokaryote
Transduction- phages viruses carry bacteria from one cell to another
Conjugation- touch each other physically direct transfer of DNA

proteobacteria

Answer 15

gram negative
different types alpha, beta
believed that alpha proteobacteria is related to eukaryotic hosts
mitochondria evolved from aerobic alpha proteobacteria endosymbiosis

Question 16

Chlamydia

Answer 16

gram negative parasite
excslusively on animal cells

Question 17

cyanobacteria

Answer 17

first to generate oxygen
chlorplasts in eukaryotes evolved through endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria

Question 18

Gram positive prokaryotes

Answer 18

gram positive stain
decomposers and some dangerous pathogens

Question 19

Archaea prokaryotes

Answer 19

methanogens-produce methane as a waste product
extreme halophiles-inhabit highly saline environments
extreme thermophiles- inhabit extreme temperatures and autotrophs

Question 20

biomediation

Answer 20

eliminating pollutant by organism (prokaryotes) by nitrogen fixation

Question 21

features of eukaryotes

Answer 21

-linear dna
-membrane bound organelles
-cytoskeleton and cellular dynamics
-sexual reproduction
-two types of life cycles
unicellular- alternation of haploid n and diploid 2n
multicellular- eukaryotes have distinct organs for gamete production

Question 22

3 steps of endosymbiont theory

Answer 22

1. plasma membrane formed around membranes- ER and nuclear envelope
2. endosymbiont relationship formed between the host prokaryote and the aerobic prokaryote symbiont (likely proteobacteria) use symbiont for energy-mitochondria
3. On one lineage other endosymbionts incorporated such as cyanobacteria-chloroplasts

Question 23

primary endosymbiosis
secondary endosymbiosis

Answer 23

prokaryote is engulfed by another organism
eukaryote is engulfed by another eukaryote

Question 24

Protists

Answer 24

Excavata cluster
SAR cluster
Archaeplastida
Amorphea

Question 25

Excavata cluster first two

Answer 25

unicellular, modified mitochondria and distinct flagella lack cytoskeletal structures Diplomonads- lack plastids and live in anaerobic conditions parabasalids- lack plastids anaerobic modified mitochondria called hydrogenosomes

Question 26

Excavata cluster euglenozoans and two subgroups

Answer 26

Euglenozoans one or more flagella and crytalline rod Kinetoplastid which have kinetoplasts which is a dense network of dna within mitichondria euglenids- pellicle mesh proteins in plasma membrane
