Reveiw Flashcards
Domains
Archaea
Live in extreme environments like the first life-forms on Earth.
Domains
Bacteria / Eukarya
Live in less harsh environments on modern Earth.
Cellular arrangement
Archaea / Bacteria
Most are unicellular (Organism is 1 cell)
Cellular arrangement
Eukarya
Some are unicellular / Most are multicellular
Nucleus and DNA
Archaea / Bacteria
No Nucleus. DNA spread out in the cell.
Nucleus and DNA
Eukarya
Nucleus stores DNA

Kingdoms of Classification
Eukarya
Protist, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
Domains of life
Bacteria - prokaryotic
No internal membrane bound structures
Bacteriology: the study of bacteria ii. Archaea - prokaryotic
No internal membrane bound structures
Live in extreme environments
o Hot springs
o Volcanoes
o arctic
Domains of life
Algae - eukaryotic
Membrane-bound organelles and nucleus
o Protist: not plant, animal, or fungi
o Photosynthetic
o Cell wall made of cellulose
Domains of life
Fungi - eukaryotic
Membrane-bound organelles and nucleus
o Mycology: the study of fungi
o Cell wall made of chitin
o Multicellular fungi
o Mushrooms or mold
o Unicellular fungi
o yeast
Domains of life
Protozoa - eukaryotic
Membrane-bound organelles and nucleus
Protozoology: the study of protozoa
Protist: not plant, animal, or fungi
Some use cilia (hair-like) or flagella (whip-like) structures to move
Some are parasitic
Parasitology: the study of parasites
Domains of life
Viruses - acellular
Without a cell
Virology: the study of viruses
Protein + DNA or RNA
After incorporation into a cell, can multiply and infect host
Elements in Living Cells
Macronutrients
Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulfur ii. Micronutrients
Sodium, potassium, Zinc, iron, copper, vanadium, and others ill. Organic molecules,Contain carbon
Inorganic molecules
No carbon
1-1.5% of living cell’s mass
Organic Molecules
o Biochemistry studies the chemistry of life, and its objective is to explain form and function based on chemical principles
o Organic chemistry studies carbon-based chemistry, which is the foundation for the study of biomolecules and the discipline of biochemistry
The most abundant element
Hydrogen (H)
Followed by carbon (C)
Oxygen (0)
Nitrogen (N)
Phosphorus (P)
Sulfur (S)
Macronutrients
(C, H, O, N, P, S) account for about 99% of the dry weight of cells.
Micronutrients
or trace elements, are required by some cells in very small amounts.
Micronutrients include
Sodium (Na)
Potassium (K)
Magnesium (Mg)
Zinc (Zn)
Iron (Fe)
Calcium (Ca)
Molybdenum (Mo)
Copper (Cu)
Cobalt (Co)
Manganese (Mn)
Vanadium (V)
All these elements are essential to the function of many biochemical
reaction, and therefore are essential to life
PROTEINS
Amino Acid & Peptide Bonds General Structure
Hydrogen, Carboxy, Amino, R
R = side chain
Joined via peptide bonds
Peptides
Oligopeptides
Polypeptides
Proteins
