Final! Flashcards
1
Q
Prokaryotes
A
- Can live almost everywhere
- include bacteria & archaea.
- more prokaryotes than history of humans
2
Q
Prokaryotes cell
A
- lacks nucleus
- produce by bynary fission
- may not have organelles
3
Q
Bacterium
A
- break down foods in our gut floor.
- clean industrial waste.
- uses whole cell for cellular respiration & photosynthesis
4
Q
Human biotic infusion
A
way to put bacteria in gut floor for food breakdown.
5
Q
4 categories of eukaryotes
A
- plantea
- animalia
- fungi
- protist( multiple kingdoms)
6
Q
Definition of protist
A
- any organism that is not a fungi, animal or plant.
- most unicellular with exceptions, like algae, which are very complex.
- they are NOT taxomic. ( one animal where all others evolved from)
7
Q
unicellular
A
composed of a single cell
8
Q
multicellular
A
- masses of closely interacting cells
- distinct cell of tissue type.
- cells may not live on their own. (need to be together)
9
Q
Gram stain
A
- procedure to determine the bacterium type.
- Gram-positive is dark purple
- Gram-negative is light pink
10
Q
Eukaryotes cells
A
- nucleus
- membrane-bound organelles
- nuclear envelope
11
Q
protist properties
A
- most live on aquatic environments
- all 5 major eukarya lineages include protist, only 2 are not protist.
- cells are 10 times larger than bacteria & archaea.
12
Q
colonial growth
A
cells aggregate but all do same funtion.
13
Q
Green algae
A
- are autotrophs
- have chloropyll.
- cell walls made out of cellulose
- store starch in plastids.
14
Q
crop domestication
A
- domesticated simultaneously in different parts of the world.
- only certain can be domesticated. ( corn, wheat, rice)
- created beginning of civilization.
- no more locomotion for humans.
15
Q
ecosystem service
A
anything an organism does normally that humans derive benefit from. ex. honey we make money. plants reducing Co2.
