Characteristics of eukaryote and prokaryote Flashcards
2 Types of cellular organisms
Prokaryote, Eukaryote
Characteristics of a prokaryote
No nucleus, no membrane bound organelles, is unicellular
The first cells to appear on Earth
Prokaryote
Characteristics of a eukaryote
With nucleus, has membrane enclose organelles, mostly multicellular
Eukaryotes are multicellular except for ____________________
Euglena, Paramecium, and Amoeba
What do prokaryotes and eukaryotes have in common?
Both have cytoplasm, cell wall, and plasma membrane
A large class of about 250
bacteria species with no
specific structure but are
classified into three types
based on the substance
they create and the
environment they live in
Archaebacteria
Produce methane and
mostly thrive in sewage
facilities, bogs, and inside
the intestines of ruminant
animals like cows, goats,
and sheep
Methanogens
Want salty environments
and thrive in salt lakes
and pools of sea water
Halophiles
Attracted to heat and
thrive in hot places such
as geothermal vents and
hot springs
Thermophiles
Also known as True Bacteria
Eubacteria
Constitute the most number
of species and possess rigid
cell walls with peptidoglycan
that can either be motile or
non-motile
Eubacteria
Disease-causing bacteria
Eubacteria
They exhibit both animal- and plant-like traits
Euglena
Has flagella tails and green chloroplasts
Euglena
A genus of the Protozoa
class known for its ciliated
structure that has become
the favorite model
organism of scientists for
their researches
Paramecium
It can also be found mostly in
freshwater, brackish, and
marine environments.
Paramecium
Have transparent cell
walls made of silicon
dioxide hydrated by
water which gives them
their very colorful and
beautiful patterns
Diatoms
A very big family that
consists of yeasts,
molds and mushrooms
Fungi
_____ found in Fungi’s cell
walls including digestive
enzyme secretions are
some of their distinct traits.
Chitin
World of plants composed
of grasses, trees, shrubs,
vines, leaves, and
flowering plants
Plantae
Characterized by their
blade-like pointed leaves
that grow very tall and
serve as primary sources
of carbohydrate foods
Oryza Grass Group
The biggest phylum in the
plant kingdom with around
300,000 species of
flowering trees, fruits,
seeds, and flowers.
Angiospermae group
Angiospermae came from the
Greek words ______ and ______ which, when combined, stands for
“enclosed seeds.
Angeion, sperma
Also seed-bearing plants
but instead of flowers
come in the form of
cones. Ex: Lumber trees
Gymnospermae group
The largest group composed
of millions of species that are
characterized by their
motility, adaptation/survival
mechanisms and predation
Animalia
