CHAPTER 2: Lesson 6: Classification of bacteria Flashcards
These are a heterogeneous
group of several distinct classes of living beings.
Microorganisms
Within the kingdom Protista, bacteria and blue-green algae belong to a group called __________.
prokaryotes
Within the kingdom Protista, _______ and ________ belong to a group called prokaryotes.
bacteria and blue-green algae
Fungi,
other algae, slime molds and protozoa belong to a group called _______.
eukaryotes
They belong to a group called eukaryotes.
fungi
other algae
slime molds
protozoa
(Nucleus) Prokaryotes
Absent. No nuclear envelope
(Nucleus) Eukaryotes
Present with nuclear envelope and nucleolus
(Membrane-bound
organelles) Prokaryotes
Absent
(Membrane-bound
organelles) Eukaryotes
Present. Includes mitochondria, chloroplasts (plants), lysosomes
(Chromosome (DNA)) Prokaryotes
Single coiled chromosome
in cytoplasm ‘nucleoid’
region in association with ‘histone-like’ proteins
(Chromosome (DNA)) Eukaryotes
Multiple linear chromosomes with histone proteins
(Cell wall) Prokaryotes
Eubacteria have a cell wall
of peptidoglycan Archaea have cell walls of
Pseudomurein
(Cell wall) Eukaryotes
No cell wall in animal cells
Plant cell walls is cellulose Fungal cell walls is chitin
(Mitotic division) Prokaryotes
Absent
(Mitotic Division) Eukaryotes
Present
(Ribosomes) Prokaryotes
70S
(Ribosomes) Eukaryotes
80S. Both free in cytoplasm
and attached to rough
E.R.
70S in mitochondria
and chloroplasts
(Flagella) Prokaryotes
Free in cytoplasm
when present consists of protein flagellin
(Flagella) Eukaryotes
Consist of 9+2 arrangement of microtubules
(Cytoplasmic membrane
lipids) Prokaryotes
Eubacteria:
Fatty acids
joined to glycerol by ester
linkage
Archaea:
Hydrocarbons joined to glycerol by ether
linkage
(Cytoplasmic Membrane Lipids) Eukaryotes
Fatty acids joined to
glycerol by ester linkage
(Mitochondria) Prokaryotes
Absent
(Mitochondria) Eukaryotes
Present
(Lysosomes) Prokaryotes
Absent
(Lysosomes) Eukaryotes
Present
(Golgi apparatus) Prokaryotes
Absent
(Golgi apparatus) Eukaryotes
Present
(Endoplasmic Reticulum) Prokaryotes
Absent

Present
Bacteria which gain energy from light
Phototrophs
Phototrophs is subdivided into two groups
on the basis of source of electron: What are these?
a. Photolithotrops
b. Photoorganotrops
Bacteria that uses reduced inorganic compounds such
as H2S as electron source.
Photolithotrops
It uses organic compounds such as succinate as
electron source.
Photoorganotrops
A bacteria which gain energy from chemical compounds and
cannot carry out photosynthesis.
Chemotrophs
Chemotrophs is subdivided into two groups on the basis of
source of electron:
a. Chemolithotrops
b. Chemoorganotrops
they gain energy from oxidation of chemical
compound and reduces inorganic compounds such as NH3 as electron source
Chemolithotrops
They gain energy from chemical compounds and
uses organic compounds such as glucose and amino acids as a source of
electron.
Chemoorganotrops
It is a nonpathogenic, free-living bacteria which uses solar energy or
carbon dioxide as the sole source of carbon to prepare its own food.
Autotrophs
