Q

Difference between Bacteria and archaea

A

BACTERIA: peptidoglycan in cell walls

Q

Structure of a prokaryote: ribosome

A

-makes proteins

18
Q

Glycolysis

A

-Converting food into energy

19
Q

Converting food into energy without oxygen is called…

A

Anaerobic respiration

20
Q

Prokaryotes started as Heterotrophs which means…

A

-they could not make their own food
-They ate chemoheterotrophs (inorganic compounds like sulfur)
-They used glycolysis (converting food into energy)

21
Q

What happens during cellular respiration

A
  1. Glucose + Water = ATP (glycolysis in cytoplasm)
    + wastes like water and carbon dioxide
22
Q

What is the energy created by anaerobic and aerobic cellular respiration?

A

-ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate)
-Cellular energy
-Major energy-storing molecule of the cell

23
Q

Anaerobic respiration wastes

A

-Lactic acid: muscle fatigue and pain
-Fermentation: alcohol formation or CO2

24
Q

Prokaryotic reproduction

A

-BINARY FISSION

-asexual reproduction
-Replication of free floating DNA
-forms 2 identical cells
-VERY FAST!!!!!!! can double every 20 min

25
Q

Are all bacteria and prokaryotes bad?

A

NO
-more are beneficial than harmful
-Prokaryotes are essential for the well being of organisms

26
Q

How can bacteria be harmful?

A

-Overpopulate water systems reducing the amount of dissolved oxygen in water
-Spoil food by releasing enzymes in the food causing it to rot
-Cause human diseases like tuberculosis. tetanus, pneumonia and strep

27
Q

How do humans use prokaryotes

A

-Need bacteria to make vinegar, yogurt, cheese, pickles, etc
-Use bacteria to recompose sewage
-Break down petroleum compounds on beaches after oil spills
-Scientists use them in biotech

28
Q

What did cyanobacteria evolve into 2.7 billion years ago?

A

-Autotrophic bacteria

29
Q

What are autotrophs?

A

-Organisms that make their own food

30
Q

The process in which organisms make their own food

A

PHOTOSYNTHESIS
-converting sunlight energy + carbon dioxide + water > glucose + oxygen + water

31
Q

6CO₂ + 12H₂O > C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 H₂O + 6O₂

A

Photosynthesis equation

32
Q

What is needed for Photosynthesis Reaction to occur?

A

-Sunlight
-Enzymes
-Photosynthetic pigments

33
Q

Structure for aerobic respiration

A

MITOCHONDRIA
-powerhouse of the cell

34
Q

2.7 billion years ago, Iron is saturated with oxygen so…

A

Oxygen accumulates
-organisms that use oxygen can evolve

35
Q

Using OXYGEN to gain energy

A

AEROBIC RESPIRATION
-allows for tons of ATP to be made

36
Q

How do we know that oxygen was accumulating but it was all taken up by rocks?

A

Iron Rust Layer

37
Q

What are cyanobacteria?

A

Plantlike prokaryotes that produce their own food and release oxygen as a by product

38
Q

Phycobilins

A
  • pigment inside the cytoplasm that absorbs light energy
39
Q

What is aerobic cellular respiration?

A

-Consumes oxygen while making carbon dioxide gas and gaining more energy

40
Q

What are the descendants of aerobic bacteria?

A

MITOCHONDRIA
-over time prokaryotes developed one

41
Q

Does anaerobic or aerobic make more ATP?

A

anaerobic- 2 ATP
aerobic- 32 ATP

42
Q

Who does photosynthesis?

A

CYANOBACTERIA
