How do procaryotes differ from eukaryotes?
Unicellularity, cell size, Nucleoid, cell division, genetic recombination, internal compartmentalization, flagella, and metabolic diversity.
How does unicellularity differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes only have the ability to be unicellular. Prokaryotes have the ability to group together by forming associations and biofilms.
How does cell size differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes are generally smaller than eukaryotes.
How does nucleoids differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
There is no nucleus in a prokaryote and its DNA is singular and circular.
How does cell division differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes divide via binary fission
How does genetic recomposition differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryoteâs genes transfer horizontally not sexual reproduction.
How does internal compartmentalization differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes do not have organ-bound organelles
How do flagella differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes have simpler flagella
How does metabolic diversity differ in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes undergo oxygenic and anoxygenic photosynthesis. They are also chemolithotroph
What are the two domains that branch out from prokaryotes?
Bacteria and archaea
Identify the first organisms that oxygenated the atmosphere
Cyanobacteria
Photoautotrophs
organisms that use light energy and inorganic carbon to produce organic materials.
Chemoautotrophs
an organism that obtains energy by the oxidation of electron donors in their environments.
Photoheterotrophs
organisms that use light for energy, but cannot use carbon dioxide as their sole carbon source.
Chemoheterotrophs
An organism deriving energy by ingesting intermediates or building blocks that it is incapable of creating on its own.
cocci
Spherical
bacilli
Rod like
spirilli
Spiral
diplo-
Pairs
strepto-

\n Identify characteristics of eukaryotic cells
Cells with a nucleus
Mitochondria
Cytoskeleton of microtubules
Flagella and cilia
Chromosomes and histones
Mitosis
cell walls
Paramecium
Use cilia to propel itself
Amoeba
Uses lobe-like pseudopodia to anchor and pull itself forward
Euglena
Use of flagellum to propel itself
saprobes
Eats dead things
mixotrophs
use a mix of different sources of energy and carbon
What is a fungus more related to plants or animals?
Animals
Describe the symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae
Algae has the ability o live inside fungi and act as a chloroplast
Describe the symbiotic relationship of Mycorrhizae with plant roots
Mycorrhizae help the plant get nitrogen and phosphorus.
What is in fungus cell walls that is not in plant cell walls?
Chitin
Fungi are not ---, and can not ----.
Plants/Photosynthesis
Zygomycetes example
Bread mold
Sac Fungi example
yeast
Club Fungi example
puff ball mushroom
Mycorrhizae
A fungi that helps plants get nitrogen and phosphorus
Rhizobium
the bacteria that live in symbiotic association with the root nodules of the leguminous plants.
Zooxanthellae
A bacteria that lives in coral gives it its color and act as chloroplast for the coral
Cyanobacteria
The oldest organism that is able to preform photosynthesis
Lichen
That funky stuff on trees, has a relationship with cyanobacteria
