Q

The “new” 3-Domain System is that

A

Eukarya evolved from archaea (the archaea ancestors are called Asgardians, that engulfed a bacteria to form eukarya)

18
Q

LUCA

A

Last universal common ancestor

19
Q

The traits of Domain bacteria

A
  • All prokaryotes
  • All unicellular
  • Cell walls made of peptidoglycan
  • Small (1-5 micrometers)
20
Q

The traits of Domain archaea

A
  • All prokaryotes
  • All unicellular
  • Cell walls made up of pseudopeptidoglycan
  • Small (1-5 micrometers)
21
Q

The traits of Domain eukarya

A
  • Eukaryotic cells
  • Unicellular or multicellular
  • Some have cell walls (e.g., pectin, chitin, cellulose)
  • Large cells (10x than prokaryotes)
22
Q

The differences between prok and euk are

A
  • Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles (pro does not)
  • Eukaryotes have multiple linear DNA but prokaryotes are single circular DNA
  • Eukaryotes have nucleus but pro does not
  • 70S ribosomes VS 80S
23
Q

The similarities between prok and euk are

A
  • Use DNA
  • Have cell membranes
  • Have cytosol
24
Q

Everytime a cell doubles in size

A

SA:V decreases by half

25
Why are prokaryotes so small
Diffusion
26
The cell's surface is its
Cell membrane
27
Purpose of cell membrane
Site of nutrient exchange and energy generation. Also supports internal volume
28
Why is a high SA/V ratio good
Because rate of diffusion stays the same, so we want large SA but small V
29
Large cells with small SA:V CANT survive, how can eukaryotes be so large
They have membrane-bound organelles that increase SA and compartmentalize areas to store nutrients throughout the cell
30
Horizontal gene transfer
When a gene from one species becomes a part of the genome in another species
31
HGT is common between
Prokaryotes (but not eukaryotes)
32
Endosymbiosis Theory
The idea that some eukaryotic organelles were originally independent prokaryotic cells; an organism living inside another to benefit both
33
___ and ____ were likely formed when 2 organisms formed a relationship that benefited both and is now permanent
Mitochondria and chloroplasts
34
The process of endosymbiosis
1. Host cell was an archaea-like prokaryote 2. Endosymbiont (the organism that went inside) was a bacteria-like prokaryote, and very good a cell resp 3. Archaea received ATP 4. Bacteria received nutrients 5. Host cell used extra E to develop an endomembrane system, and grew larger to become the first eukaryote
35
The 5 evidence for endosymbiotic theory (that suggests that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once prokaryotes)
- The same size as moderm prokaryotes - Have a single circular dsDNA molecule - Divide by binary fission - Have 70S ribosome gene - Many current (endo)symbiotic associations exist
36
Prokaryote rRNA VS Mitochondrial rRNA VS Eukaryote rRNA
Mitochondrial is more similar to prokaryotes than mitochondrial is the eukaryote. BUT Mitochondrial is more similar to eukaryote than prokaryote is to eukaryote
37
Phototrophs
Uses light energy
38
Chemotrophs
Use chemical energy - Organotroph: use organic molecules - Lithotroph: use inorganic molecules (e.g., CO2)
39
Autotrophs
Self eater
40
Heterotroph
Other eater
41
Inorganic carbon means that the organism is an
Autotroph
