Q

endosymbiosis theory

A

proposes that mitochondria are the descendents of symbiotic, aerobic eubacteria that entered larger cells and then stayed there as symbionts

bas ically, mitochondria and chloroplasts came from: one cell engulfing another bot not digesting it.

Q

Characteristics of archaebacteria

A

All are unicellular prokaryotes.
Cell walls lack peptinoglycan.
Genes have introns.
Their plasma membranes contain lipids that are not found in any other living things.
They may be either autotrophic or heterotrophic.
They may be the ancestors of eukaryotic cells.
Living archaebacteria are divided into three groups that live in extreme environments: halophiles, thermophiles and acidophiles.

Q

Characteristics of protists

A

All are eukaryotic.
Most are unicellular, but some are multicellular.
Protists can be autotrophic, heterotrophic, or both at the same time.
All reproduce asexually, but some can also reproduce sexually.

17
Q

Characteristics of fungi

A

All are eukaryotic.
Most are multicellular, but some are unicellular.
Cell walls are made of chitin, not cellulose.

Fungi have filamentous bodies called hyphae.
They are all heterotrophs with external digestion of food. They serve as primary decomposers.
Fungi reproduce either sexually or asexually.

Q

Characteristics of plants:

A

All plants are eukaryotic.
All plants are multicellular.
All plant cells have cell walls made of cellulose.
Most consist of two basic parts: roots and shoots.
Most plants are terrestrial and photosynthetic autotrophs.
Plants have evolved highly specialized structures for reproduction and survival on land.
Plants reproduce sexually, although some can also reproduce asexually.

23
Q

Characteristics of animals

A

All animals are eukaryotes.
All are multicellular with cells that lack cell walls.
Most reproduce sexually.
All are heterotrophs with internal digestion of food.
Animals have specialized tissues for movement and reaction to stimuli.
Animals inhabit nearly every kind of environment in the biosphere.
