Chapters 24.2, 25, 26.2 Flashcards
Key characteristics of Prokaryotes
single celled, small (less than 1mm), lack membrane bound organelles, cell wall, pill, flagella
what is archaea?
thrive in extreme environments
halophiles-salty
thermophiles-hot
Characteristics of Eukaryotes
have a nucleus, have membrane bound organelles, developed cytoskeleton,
endosymbiont theory
mitochondria and chloroplasts were formally small prokaryotes
algae
eukaryotic heterotrophic, plant like protists
protozoa
eukaryotic heterotrophic, unicellular, animal like protists
slime mold
fungus like protists, absorption
mixotrophs
capable of photosynthesis and heterotrophy
protists=eukaryotes structures
nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts
green algae
live in marine environments, producers
spirogyra
protists, green algae, spiral chloroplasts
volvox
protists, green algae
euglena
protozoa, mixotroph, flagella and pellicle
diatoms
eukaryotic protists, unicellular algae, silica, reflective paint and toothpaste, phytoplankton
dinoflagellates
eukaryotic protists, unicellular algae, whirling, phytoplankton
