Common characteristics of archaebacteria and eubacteria

A

All are single celled celled
contain no membrane-bound organelle
cells have a single chromosome
cells reproduce asexually by binary fission

22

A

Bacteria that require oxygen for respiration

23
Q

Obligate anaerobes

A

Bacteria that conduct restoration processes in the absence of oxygen

24
Q

Facultative anaerobes

A

Bacteria that prefer environments with oxygen but can live without oxygen

25
Q

Endospores

A

Dormant cells of a bacilli bacteria contain genetic material encapsulated by a thick resistant cell wall. these forms of cells develop when environmental conditions become unfavourable

26
Q

Harmful effects of bacteria examples

A

Clostridia- botulism, tetanus
Streptococci-strep throat, scarlet fever
Lactobacilli- spoiling of milk

27
Q

Antibiotics

A

Chemicals produced synthetically or by microorganisms that inhabit the growth or destroy certain other microorganisms

28
Q

Plant like protist

A

Euglenphyta- they live in freshwater, can take in solid food and reproduce asexually

29
Q

Chrysophyta (Golden brown algae and diatoms)

A

This group is found in both freshwater and saltwater
they contain chlorophyll and are autotroph’s
many are flagellated and encased in shells or skeletons
diatoms the most abundant plantlike protests are not flagellated but are encased into thin silica valves or shells joined together

30
Q

Phrrophyta (dinoflagellates)

A

Autotrophs contain chlorophyll and red pigment they’re important primary producers and a major component of the oceanic phytoplankton

31
Q

Chlorophyta (green algae)

A

Some are unicellular some multicellular
Live mainly in freshwater but also moist solids and tropical seas
they are autotrophs and contain the pigment chlorophyll and carotene

32
Q

Phaeophyta (brown algae)

A

Brown algae mainly live in colder seawater and include kelp and rockweed.
members of this phylum are multicellular autotrophic and contain the pigments chlorophyll and fucoxanthin

33
Q

Rhodophyta (red algae)

A

Some red Algae live in freshwater but most inhabit warmer seawater
these multicellular organisms include Dulce and Irish Moss
red algae are autotrophic and include various pigments of chlorophyll, carotene and phycobilin

34

A

K

35
Q

Cysts

A

Cells and have a hardened protective covering on top of the cell membrane

36
Q

Ectoplasm

A

I thin semirigid layer of the cytoplasm under the plasma membrane

37
Q

Endoplasm

A

The fluid part of the cytoplasm that fills the inside of the cell
the endoplasm is responsible for an amoeba shape as it moves
