Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes Flashcards
Pro or Euk?
Nucleus
Asexual or sexual
Eukaryote
Pro or Euk?
Asexual/ no nucleus
Prokaryotes
Pro or Euk?
Reproduces: binary fission, snapping division, budding
Prokaryote
Pro or Euk?
Complex structure
Eukaryote
Pro or Euk?
Simple Structure

Prokaryote
Pro or Euk?
Bacteria
Archaea
Prokaryote
Pro or Euk?
Lack internal structures bound with phospholids
Prokaryote
Pro or Euk?
Small ~1.0 um
Prokaryote
Pro or Euk?
Internal membranes bound to organelles
Eukaryote
Pro or Euk?
Large 10-100 um
Eukaryote
Pro or Euk?
Complex
Eukaryote
Pro or Euk?
Algae, protozoa, fungi, animals, plants
Eukaryotes
Type of eukaryote- multicellular, long, sexual, asexual?
Fungi-Mold
Type of Eukaryote- unicellular, asexual with budding, some sexual, cell wall
Fungi-yeast
Type of eukaryote- single cell, asexual, some sexual
move–> pseudophodia (ext flow along),
cilia (short propel)
Flagella (ext longer than cilia, whip)
Protozoa
Type of eukaryote: unicellular, multicellular
photosynthetic
simple reproduction
Algae
Type of Prokaryotes:
peptidoglycan
some without cell wall
Bacteria
Type of prokaryote:
Polymers and peptidoglycan
Archae
Pro or Euk?
found in moisture and some are isolated
Prokaryote
Type of reproduction:
split in half
cell replicates DNA, cytoplasm elongates to separate DNA molecules, cross wall forms, daughter cells separate
Binary fission
Type of reproduction:
like fission
hinge, rupture outer wall
Snapping divison
Type of reproduction:
nucleoid replicates
New nucleoid is moved into bud
Young bud pulls away
Daughter cell is formed
Budding
What are endospores?
produced by Gram + Bacillus and clostridium
- germinates to form one vegetative cell
- Defense against unfavorable conditions
- concern to food processors, health care professionals
Shapes of Prokaryotes
Coccus=ball Coccobacillus- mini bean Bacillus- big bean Vibrio- eggplant Spirillum- fat waves Spirochete- skinny longer waves Pleomorphic- random
What is the external structures of Bacteria cells?
Glycocalyes, flagella
Types of glycocalyes?
Capsule and slime layer
polysaccharides, polypeptides, or both
Sticky outside of cell
What are capsule glycocalyes?
Organized repeating units organic chemicals
firmly attached surface
Prevent bacteria from being recognized by host
What are slime layer glycocalyes?
Loosely attached
Water soluble
Sticky allows prokaryotes to attach to surface
Describe flagella
Movement, long structure beyond cell surface
NOT present on all bacteria
Structure of Flagella
Filament, hook, basal body
Basal body anchors filament/hook to cell wall by a rode and two or four rings of integral proteins
Attached to membrane/cell wall
Function of Flagella
- Rotation propels bacterium through environment
- Rotation reversible
- Bacteria move in response to stimuli (taxis)–runs/tumbles
Describe endospores
produced by some bacteria that are a defense strategy against unfavorable conditions
“escape pod” of bacteria freeze anthrax and when thaws out it still goes to work
Duplicate DNA and tuck it away into the escape pod
