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
