Prokaryotes and Bacteria Flashcards
What must cells have to function? (3)
Cell membranes (to separate content from environment)
Must have DNA, RNA< and ribosomes to reproduce and make protein
internal skeletons to give shapes and movement
How do prokaryotic cells differ?
although they possess subcellular components, they do not have membrane-bound organelles
What organelles are found in eukaryotes? (4)
Nuclei
Mitochondria
Golgi apparati
endoplasmic reticula
What do bacteria possess? (3)
Complex cell capsules made of protein and sugar
Occasionally lipids
Sometimes flagella
What domains are prokaryotes in?
Bacteria and Archaea
What is under the Domain Bacteria? (5)
Proteobacteria, Chlamydia, Spirochetes, Cynaobacteria, and Gram-positive bacteria
What is under the Domain Archaea? (5)
prokaryotes closely related to eukaryotes
Korarchaeotes
Euryarchaeotes
Crenarchaeotes
Nanoarchaeotes
What shapes do bacteria have?
Spherical, rods, and spirals
What term are spherical bacteria>
cocci
What term are rod-shaped bacteria?
bacilli
What term are spiral-shaped bacteria?
vibrio (commas)
Spirilla (spirals)
spirochaetes (light coiled spirals)
What are gram-positive bacteria?
Possess cell capsule with thick layer of peptidoglycan (proteins and sugars), that stain dark-purple
What are gram-negative bacteria?
2 part cell capsule- inner part is a thin coat of peptidoglycan, surrounded by lipopolysaccharide
stain a light-pink
Gloeotrichia classification, what do they form, where do they live, what shape, and what do they do for the environment (5)
Cyanobacteria
form colonies of filaments
live in freshwater
spherical
Fix nitrogen
Nostoc type of bacteria, what do they form, what can they provide for humans, shape, and where are they found
Cyanobacteria
forms colonies of filaments that form into balls and sheets
edible, but some are toxic
spherical
Moist environment, but not marine
