Domain Archaea and Domain Bacteria (Prokaryotes) Flashcards
Archaea Plasma Membrane
vs.
Bacteria Plasma Membrane
Archaea: Esther linkages, rings ot branches
Bacteria: Ester bonds, unbranched
Archaea Cell Wall
vs.
Bacteria Cell Wall
Archaea: Lack Peptidoglycan
Bacteria: Contain Peptidoglycan
Archaea Replication Site
vs.
Bacteria Replication Site
Archaea: Single site, Similar to Eukaryotes
Bacteria: Single site
Archaea Gene Expression
vs.
Bacteria gene expression
Archaea more similar to eukaryotes
4 Categories Distinguising Archaea and Bacteria
- Plasma Membrane
- Cell Wall
- Replication
- Gene Expresson
Pili
Short hairlike structures on gram negative bacteria
Capsule
Gelatinous layer of protection around some bacteria
Endospores
Thick wall around the genome, resistant to environmental stress and wait to act until necessary.
Autotrophs
Photoautotrophs
Chemoautotrophs
Get energy from inorganic Co2
Heterotrophs
Photoheterotrophs
Chemoheterotrophs
Energy from organic molecules
Environmental Benefits to Prokaryotes
Some are nitrogen fixing bacteria which helps plant growth, decomposers, cyanobacteria oxygen generation.
Gram + Bacteria
Peptidoglycan
Gram Stain = Positively Purple
ex. Coccus
Penicillan and Tetracycline
Gram - Bacteria
Peptidoglycan and Lipopolysaccharides
Pink Gram Stain
ex. Bacillus and Spirrilum and E. Coli
Ampicillin, Tetracycline
