Eukaryotic Microbes Flashcards
Learn vocabulary and concepts associated with microbes and endosymbiosis
Nucleus
Contains DNA
Decoupled transcription and translation in eukaryotic cells
Mitochondrion
Membrane-bound organelles that generate cell energy ATP
Chloroplast
Organelle that does photosynthesis with chlorophyll
Unicellular
A single celled organism
Colonial
Incomplete cytokinesis
Cells remain attached
Individual reproduction
Multicellular
Division of labor
Needing more energy
Equal Splitting
Mitosis followed by cytokinesis
Budding
Outgrowth of a new cell from the surface of an old cell
Multiple Fission
Splitting into more than 2 cells
Spores
Specialized cells that are capable of growing into a new individual
Haplontic
Expansion of the haploid phase with a diploid zygote
Diplontic
Expansion of diploid phase only with haploid gametes
Alternation of generations
Expansion of haploid and diploid through mitosis
Phagocytosis
Eukaryotic cells are able to ingest macroparticles using their cytoskeleton
Archaea use ESP and actin genes
Amoeba
Unicellular eukaryotic microbe that has no definite shape and has amoeboid movement
