Unit 3: prokaryotes- features and reproduction Flashcards
Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes have what in common
DNA
Plasma Membrane
Ribosomes
Differences in Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes
no nucleus (nucleoid) circular DNA
Gram + and Gram - has what in common
plasma membrane
peptidoglycan
gram - has what that is different than gram +
outer phospholipid bilayer
lipopolysaccharide
structure of bacteria has 10 parts what are they
pili, fimbriae, flagellum, capsule, cell membrane, cell wall, plasmid, ribosomes, nucleoid/ DNA chromosome, cytoplasm
what does pili do in bacteria
helps with reproduction
what does fimbriae do in bacteria
attaches to another bacteria
what is a plasmid
short circular DNA, non essential gene that improve survival or competition
what does the flagella do in bacteria
allows mobility
what are the layers to a bacteria, (outer to inner)
capsule, cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm
what 4 things limits reproduction
nutrients
predators
waste build up
competition
phage means
virus
what are endospores
bacteria goes dormant and become resistant to most stressors only some bacteria
in ice bergs
genetic variability 4 things
mutation, transformation, transduction, conjugation
mutation is when what is made
errors
changes in DNA sequences
