week 7, mar 28th - apr 1st Flashcards
What are the 3 domains of biodiversity
Bacteria (prokaryotes)
Archaea (prokaryotes)
Eukarya (eukaryotes)
What is bacteria
A prokaryote
What is bacteria (prokaryotic cell) composed of
No nucleus No membrane bound organelles Cell wall made of peptidoglycan Circular chromosome in nucleoid Ribosomes Plasma membrane
How does bacteria reproduce
Asexually
What is the asexual reproduction of plants
Binary fissions = one individual producing identical offspring
Describe the 4 phases of binary fission
1 = attach chromosome to plasma membrane 2 = DNA replication to produce 2 identical copies 3 = break down cell wall to form 2 daughter bacteria cells 4 = 2 identical bacteria cells
What are bacteria classified by
Shapes
Cell wall
Metabolism
Describe bacteria shapes
Circle = coccus Rod = bacillus Spiral = spiralla
Describe bacteria cell wall
Gram positive = dark purple
Gram negative = pink
Name the 2 groups of bacteria metabolisms
Source of energy = prefix
Source of carbon = suffix
Describe source of energy (bacteria metabolism)
From sun (photosynthesis) = photo From chemicals/molecules = chemo
Describe source of carbon (bacteria metabolism)
From atmospheric CO2 = autotroph
From eating others = heterotroph
Describe a chemoheterotroph
Pathogens = disease causing
Probiotics
Describe a chemoautotroph
Nitrogen fixing bacteria
Fix N2 into ammonia
Plants use ammonia as fertilizer to make all their amino acids
Describe a photoautotroph
Does photosynthesis with w/o a chloroplast Called cyanobacteria (common name = blue algae)
Describe how to perform photosynthesis without a chloroplast
Chlorophyll is in the infolding of the plasma membrane
Uses sunlight and works the same
Exchange between glucose and nitrogen fixing/nucleotides/amino acids in other cell
