25
Prokaryotic cells
No membrane bound nucleus No membrane bound organelles Cell wall composed of peptidoglycan
26
Prokaryotic cells: Archaea
Unicellular organisms similar to bacteria but few differences Thrive in hostile environments - psychrophiles (ice) -thermophiles (heat) - basophils (basic) - acidophils (acids) No known human pathogens
27
Prokaryotic Cells: Bacteria
Some do well in hostile but most are mesophilic or near-mesophillic (near human temp) Many human pathogens Described by cell shape
28
Bacteria shapes
-Coccus (circle) -Coccusbacillis (circle/oval) -Vibrio (ovalish one side pointer than the other- cone ish shape -Bacillis (oval long) -sprillium(zig zag long) -Spirochete (spiral long shape)
29
Eukaryotes: Protists & Fungi
Informal group of Euk cells that are not plants animals or fungi Protisist— Algae : photosynthetic uni or multi cellular have cellulose walls mostly aquatic Fungi—- Protozoa : unicellular organisms many are motile have cilia or flagella some photosynthetic but most absorb and ingest organic materials
30
Eukaryotes: Fungi
Mushrooms, yeast and molds, multicellular organisms mostly decomposers
31
Eukaryotes: Helminiths
Parasitic worms that cause infection Guinea worm burrows from intestine to tissues and emerges as an ulceration
32
Acellular microorganisms : Viruses
A cellular and non metabolic Composed of dna or rna with a protein coat Enter cell by binding to receptors to make more copies
