Lecture 6 - Microbes and Fungi Flashcards
Prokaryotes
Bacteria and Archaea - Lack a membrane bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelles
Eukaryotes
Contain membrane bound nucleus, mitochondria, and other membrane-bound organelles
Protists
Eukaryotes that are not plants, animals, or fungi
Cell Shapes (Prokaryotes)
Cocci(Spherical), Bacilli(Rod-shaped), Spirochete(Spirals)
Cell Walls (Prokaryotes)
Peptidoglycan (gram +) and Lipids and carbs (gram -)
Projections (Prokaryotes)
Flagella(tail) and Fimbriae (hair/tentacles)
Photoautotroph
-Captures energy from Sun
-Uses CO2 for Carbon
Photoheterotroph
-Captures energy from Sun
-Gets Carbon from organic sources
Chemoautotroph
-Captures energy from inorganic chemicals
-Uses CO2 for carbon
Chemoheterotroph
-Captures energy from inorganic chemicals
-obtains Carbon from organic sources
Proteobacteria

-Nutritionally diverse
-Pathogens
-Symbiosis
Gram Positive Bacteria
-Gram positive
-Nutritionally diverse
-Pathogens
