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
