Q

Varations in Prokaryotes (no cytoskeleton)

A
Everywhere on earth 
3 shapes Coccus, bacillus, helix
Flagella twisting or gliding or not
Communicate by chemicals or light
singled celled, colonies
Asexual fission but exchange genetic material
17
Q

Quorum Sensing

A

done by prokaryotes, trigger biofilm formation

18
Q

3 lateral gene transfer methods

A

conjugation: DNA transfered from a donor cell via a pilus
transformation: DNA taken up from dead cells
transduction: DNA transfered via a virus

19
Q

Big Tree tells us

A

1 photosynthesis widely distrubted through bacteria
2 Small group are gram positive
3Very Diverse- Proteobacteria- E. Coli

20
Q

Obligate anaerobes

A

Oxygen is poisonous to some prokaryotes

21
Q

Obligate aerobes

A

Oxygen is needed for some prokaryotes

22
Q

Facultative anaerobes

A

Procaryotes use either aerobic or anaerobic respira8on

23
Q

Cyanobacteria

A

Light used to drive chemical reac8ons that build sugars –Chloroplasts in plants are evolved from symbio8c cyanobacteria –Photoautotrophs –Responsible for conver8ng Earth’s atmosphere to aerobic in ancient past (O2 is photosynthesis byproduct)

24
Q

Photoheterotrophs

A

harvest energy from light but rely on sugars made by other organisms

25
Q

Chemoheterotrophs

A

feed on other organisms

26
Q

Decomposers

A

break down dead bodies –Return carbon to soil, atmosphere (CO2) –Sulfur, nitrogen

27
Q

Nitrogen fixers

A

convert N2 from atmosphere to NH3 •Nitrifying bacteria: NH3à NO2àNO3–Available to plants for amino acid, nucleic acid synthesis •Denitrifying: convert organic nitrogen to N2

28
Q

Pathogens

A

Only a tiny percentage of prokaryotes are pathogens

Invade body –Evade immune system –Mulitply –Produce toxins

29
Q

Endotoxins

A

host exposed when bacteria lyse) –Fever, vomi8ng, diarrhea

30
Q

Exotoxins

A

(released by living bacteria) –Highly poisonous or fatal
