Domain Archaea (4)
Euryarchaeotes
Crenachaeotes
Nanoarchaeotes
Korarchaeotes
Domain bacteria (5)
Proteobacteria
Chlamydias
Spirochetes
Cyanobacteria
Gram-Positive bacteria
Surrounded by a plasma membrane and many different structures and organelles with a variety of functions.
Eu - true
Karyon - nut or kernel
Domain Eukarya
Things in domain Eukarya (6)
Fungi
Protozoa
Algae
Parasitic worms and Mites
Plants
Animals
Unicellular that lack a true nucleus and lack membrane bound organelles. Genetic material not bound within a nucleus.
Pro - before
Karyon - Nut or Kernel
Prokaryotes
Type of prokaryotic cell types (3)
Cocci - Spherical
Bacilli - rod-shaped
Spirilli - spiral-shaped
Eubacteria traits [Venn diagram] (4)
Peptidoglycan in cell walls
Cannot survive in extreme environments
Bacteria and cyanobacteria
More standard energy production
Archaebacteria traits [Venn diagram] (4)
No peptidoglycan in cell walls
Live in extreme environments
Thermophiles, Halophiles, Methanogens
Less standard energy production
Eubacteria AND Archaebacteria traits [Venn diagram] (4)
Evolved from common ancestor
Prokaryotic
NO Nucleus
Single-celled
Ribosomes
No membrane-bound organelles
unicellular organisms WITHOUT nuclei
ENERGY: Chemosynthesis (Nutrients from Carbon through oxidation, ___)
NO organelles
Have cell walls
LACKS peptidogylcan
DNA similar to eukaryotes
Live in extreme environments (NO oxygen, hot springs, deep ocean)
Archaebacteria
ferrous ions
Protect cell against ion & pH fluctuations, osmotic stress, degrading enzymes and predacious bacteria
Widely studied for nanotech due to their ability to self assembe protein units without enzymes
Future prospects: S-layer can be used for drug delivery systems & detection for toxic chemicals
Archaebacteria Cell wall
Type 1/5 Archaebacteria cell wall (3)
S layer composed of protein/GLYCOprotein
20-40 nm thick
Methanogens and Thermophiles
Type 2/5 Archaebacteria cell wall (2)
+ protein sheath
Methanosprillum
Type 3/5 Archaebacteria cell wall (2)
+ Methanochondroitin
Methanosarcina
