Kingdom (Domain) Bacteria Blue Green Bacteria and Algae Flashcards
prokaryotic is before nucleus whats the diffrence between in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
– No membrane-bound organelles
– No nucleus
– Smaller
– Ribosomes different
– Call walls differ
Endosymbiosis theory: Blue-green bacteria
Blue-green bacteria were the
precursors to chloroplasts of red algae (similar
pigments including phycobilins)
- Class Cyanobacteriae Blue green Bacteria)
C) Metabolism:*Photosynthesis
»no chloroplasts
–Have thylakoids (membranes needed for
ATP synthesis)
- Class Cyanobacteriae Blue green Bacteria)
C) Metabolism: nitrogen fixing
- Nitrogen fixation must occur in special
cells (heterocysts) because oxygen inhibits
nitrogen fixation
Prochloron
back ground info
*Discovered in 1976
*Lives on sea squirts
*Unicellular
Eukaryotic versus Prokaryotic
true nucleus
– Larger
– True nucleus
– Membrane-bound organelles
Life in the Ocean for Protista
- No true leaves, roots or stems (no vascular
tissue) thallus = body - Don’t need extra support (lack lignin)
– Exception Coleochaete (has lignin-like compounds
for protection against microbes) - Constantly moving
- Lack stomata
- Lack a cuticle
- Absorb nutrients directly (diffusion of gases)
- Many motile (in at least some stages)
- Protection from UV radiation
(ozone layer needed to build up for
movement to land) - Not large temperature fluctuations
- Deal with salinity (mannitol in vacuole
draws water in) - Light quality issues.
Colonial division
(no division of labor)
multicellular division
(division of labor: cells
with different functions)
unicellular——-> colonial——>multicellular
simple to complex
Chlorophyta (Green Algae) background to life cycles eveloution
- Diverse life histories (life cycles)
- Thought to be precursors to higher plants.
A) Chlorophyta (Green Algae)
example plant
acetabularia
sea lettuce
hydrodictyon
volvox
Green Algae: Ancestors of Green Plant
- About 400 million years ago, green algae
began making transition from water to land. - Gave rise to green plants
Coleochaete
grows as what
evelution
– Grows as epiphyte on stems and
leaves of submerged plants
– Probably indirect ancestor of land
plants
Coleochaete Has shared features with land plants:
» cells that resemble parenchyma
» development of cell plate during
cell division
» production of lignin-like
compound
Sporocytea
spore mother cell
Sporophyte
Diploid spore producing stage
Spore
a reproductive cell that develops into a gametophyte without
uniting with another cell
Gametophyte
Haploid gamete producing stage
isogamy
gametes are the same size and shape
Oogamy
larger, non-motile egg and smaller motile sperm
Gametangium (pl. gametangia)
A cell or structure in which
gametes are produced
Oogonium (pl. oogonia)
a female unicellular gametangium that
produces eggs
Antheridum
the male gametangium
Within the Chlorophyta, There Are
All 3 Types of These Life Cycles
Haplontic cylce
alteration if generations
diplontic cycle
Haplontic is Most Common For
green algae
and is most primitive
Diplontic cyle is
most advanced
d) Diatomaceous earth
(remains of ancient diatoms)
* Swimming pool filters
* Toothpaste
* Insecticides
* Silver polish
* Facial scrubs
Thallus
a multicellular body
without true leaves, roots, or stems (lack vascular tissue
Thallus differentiated into
into holdfast, stipe,
& blades; may have gas-filled bladders
B) Chromophyta: Brown Algae
d) Economic Importance
– Algin produced by giant
kelps and other brown
algae
* Ice cream, salad dressing
* Latex paint, textiles, ceramics
C) Rhodophyta: Red Algae
a) Mostly seaweeds
In warmer tropical oceans;
* In deeper waters than browns
* 1984 new species found 884 feet
below surface (0.0005 % of peak
sunlight)
C) Rhodophyta: Red Algae
d) Economic Importance:
– Food
* Dulse important food source during Irish potato famine
* Nori
– Carrageenan- stabilizer in foods, paints, cosmetics
– Agar from cell walls
* Culture media
* Drug capsules
D) Phylum Dinophyta: Dinoflagellates
d) Red tides
Sudden multiplication of dinoflagellates
D) Phylum Dinophyta: Dinoflagellates some produce
Some produce neurotoxins that kill fish and accumulate in shell
fish. Problem for dolphins, whales, and humans who eat the fish.
e) Can cause Bioluminescence
heterotrophic
Some are autotrophic carry out photosynthesis,
but can also grow in the dark on a carbon source
