Question 1

Prokaryotes contain

Answer 1

Bacteria and Archaea

Question 2

General features -> no prokarotics

Answer 2

• > No mitochondria

- > has ribosomes (homologus)

Question 3

Producing metabolism (prokaryotic)

Answer 3

chemotrophes -> Inorganic chemicals

Phototrophs -> solar energy to organic molecules

Question 4

On decomposing for metabolism (prokaryotic)

Answer 4

Gain energy from breaking down matter
saprophytes -> From dead organic matter
Parasites -> attach to a host and collet matter while the organism is still alive

Question 5

Chemolithotroph

Answer 5

Inorganic matter/chemicals, e- doner

• > often found in hydrothermal vents, fixed H2 of Fe for ATP
• > can produce S as waste product

Question 6

Chemoorganictroph

Answer 6

uses organic matter for energy

-> heterotroph, cant make its own energy

Question 7

Psychrophiles

Answer 7

an organism that likes extream cold temperatures

Question 8

Mesophiles

Answer 8

an organism that likes “room temperature” to perform functions

Question 9

Thermophiles

Answer 9

organisms that like it HOT

->ex// bacteria found in gyser, where we discovered theroaqualicaus to use in PCR

Question 10

Hypertheromophiles

Answer 10

REALLY REALLY REALLY HOT

-> Also can be found more in the centre of a hot gyser
