Chapter 1-Kingdoms Archaebacteria and Bacteria Flashcards
What’s are the 6 kingdoms of organisms?
Archaebacteria, Animalia, Fungi, Protista, Viridiplantae, and Bacteria
What are the 3 Domains of organisms?
Eukarya, Archaea, and Bacteria
What kingdoms are in the Domain Eukarya?
Animalia, Fungi, Protista, and Viridiplantae
What kingdom is in the Domain Archaea?
Archaebacteria
What kingdom is in the Domain Bacteria?
Bacteria
What is a clade?
Group of organisms related by evolutionary descent
What is a shared derived characteristic?
Characteristics unique to particular branch or clade
What are cladistics?
Systematic procedure that constructs evolutionary trees based on shared derived characteristics
What is the endosymbiotic origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria?
These two organelles arose from one ancestral eukaryotic cell engulfing a prokaryotic cell
What are 3 lines of evidence for endosymbiotic theory?
- Presence of prokaryotic-like ribosomes in mitochondria and chloroplasts
- Presence of prokaryotic form of DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts
- ATP synthesis membrane-bound event in mitochondria and chloroplasts like in bacteria
What are extremophiles?
From Domain Archaea and live in extreme environments
Halophiles
Like salt (Great Salt Lake)
Thermohiles
Like heat (hot springs)
Methanogens
Live in swamps and intestines
Mesophiles
Live in moderate temp. anaerobic environment, neutral pHs, low salinity
What are general characteristics of Kingdom Bacteria (prokaryotes)?
No membrane-bound nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles, no mitochondria, chloroplasts, or ER, contain genetic material in chromosome (which is circular, not bound and stabilized by histone proteins), no introns
3 shapes of bacteria?
- Coccus
- Bacillus
- Spriillum
One other shape of bacteria?
Vibroid-comma-shaped or curved bacillus
What does heterotrophic mean?
do no produce own energy but obtain from other organisms
What are primary decomposers?
feeding on dead organic matter
What does autotrophic mean?
make their own energy
Where does a lithoautotroph get its energy?
rocks
Where does a photoautotroph get its energy?
the sun
What sybiotic relationship is when both members benefit?
mutualism
