Variety of Living Organism Flashcards
What are eukaryotes?
- ->org. that have membrane-bound nuc.
- -> and org. inside their cells
What are the characteristics of plants?
- -> Multicellular
- ->cells cont. chloroplast
- ->CELLULOSE cell walls
- ->cont. a vacuole
- ->Store carbs as starch or SUCROSE
Which type of organisms are eukaryotes?
- ->plants
- ->animals
- ->fungi
- ->and protoctists
What are the characteristics of animals?
- -> Aaron: multicellular
- ->Carter: do not hv cell walls
- ->Organizes: does not have chloroplast
- ->Crime: stores carbohydrates as glycogen
- -> Naively:
What are the characteristics of plants?
- ->Aaron: Multicellular
- ->Carter: has CELLULOSE cell walls
- ->Organizes: has chloro. and perm. vacuole
- ->Crime: stores. carbs as starch or sucrose
- ->Naively: autotrophic nutri.
What are the characteristics of fungi?
- ->Aaron: MOST multicellular
- ->Carter: CHITIN {cell walls}
- ->Organizes:
- ->Crime: stores carb. glycogen
- ->Naively: sapothropic nutri.
What are the characteristics of protoctists?
- ->Aaron: SINGLE-CELLED
- ->Carter: SOME may have cell walls
- ->Organizes: some may have CHLOROPLASY
- ->Crime:
- ->Naively: some saphothropic nuti.
What is a prokaryote?
- ->organisms which do not have NUCLEUS
- -> inside their CELLS
What are the characteristics of prokaryotes?
–>Aaron: Unicellular
–>Carter: Peptidoglycan cell wall
–>Organizes: cell membrane, cyto., plas.,slime capsu.,flag.
–>Crime:
–>Naively:some autotroph(photosynth)
some feed off oth. org.
Describe the structure of a typical bacterial cell
- ->cytoplasm
- ->Ribosome
- ->Cell wall
- ->CIRC. loop of DNA
- ->Flagellum
Which type of organisms can be pathogens?
- -> Fungi
- ->Bacteria
- ->Protoctists
Are all prokaryotes/bacteria pathogens?
–> no
Are all fungi pathogens?
–>no
Are all viruses pathogens?
–>no
What are the characteristics of a virus?
- ->No made of cells
- ->Very small
- ->Parasites
- ->Genetic material
- ->surrounded by prot. coat - ->no cytoplasm
- ->no cell membrane
- ->no cell wall
