a lot of archaea are ______________, meaning they love extreme environments -
Answer- extremophiles
- high temps / pressures
eukaryotes - Answer- - do have membrane bound organelles with slight differences in
plant and animal cells
- have nucleus, mitochondria
,- have plasma membrane
- single AND multicellular organisms
location of DNA in bacteria and archaea (prokaryotes) - Answer- in nucleoid (NOT
membrane bound), sometimes plasmids (ring of DNA)
location of DNA in eukaryotes - Answer- inside nucleus (membrane bounds)
internal membranes and organelles in bacteria and archaea (prokaryotes) - Answer-
some photsynthetic species have internal membranes, limited numbers and types of
organelles
internal membranes and organelles in eukaryotes - Answer- large #s and types of
organelles
cytoskeleton in bacteria and archaea (prokaryotes) - Answer- limited
cytoskeleton in eukaryotes - Answer- extensive and found throughout the volume of the
cell
overall size in bacteria and archaea (prokaryotes) - Answer- usually small compared to
eukaryotes
(single celled)
overall size in eukaryotes - Answer- most are larger than prokaryotes
(single of multicellular)
evidence for the 3 domain system - Answer- Carl Woese
- compare rRNA sequence at the same location in all living beings
earth: 4.6 billion years ago
life began ... - Answer- 3.8 billion years ago
protists are considered.. - Answer- type of eukaryotes
anaerobic - Answer- do not need oxygen for their metabolism
rotating flagella present in... - Answer- prokaryotes but not eukaryotes
plasma membrane lipids composed of glycerol bonded to unbranched fatty acids by
ester linkages... - Answer- true for bacteria and eukaryotes, NOT archaea
cell walls, when present, contain peptidoglycan... - Answer- ONLY bacteria have it
RNA polymerase composed of more than 10 subunits.. - Answer- Yes for archaea &
eukaryotes, NOT bacteria
,translation initiated w/ methionine - Answer- Yes for archaea & eukaryotes, NO for
bacteria
which is a major difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
A. all Es are multicellular, all Ps are unicellular
B. Ps include bacteria and protists, Es include all other organisms
C. P cells are larger than E cells
D. E cells have a membrane bound nucleus, P cells do not
E. A and D - Answer- D. E cells have a membrane bound nucleus, P cells do not
- P cell's DNA is in nucleoids or plasmids
first organisms on earth.. - Answer- all prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea)
- most extremophiles.
- bacteria were still first though, then archaea
different ______________ in the plasma membrane of archaea and bacteria - Answer-
phospholipids
hydrophobic fatty acid tails face.. - Answer- inside of bilayer
hydrophilic phosphate heads face.. - Answer- outside of bilayer
bacteria have __________ in their cell walls while archaea do not (and Es don't either) -
Answer- peptidoglycan
- location of them tell doctors which antibiotic to prescribe
peptidoglycan - Answer- - outside of plasma membrane
- gives support to the cell
prokaryotic reproduction steps - Answer- 1. chromosome replicates (chromosome = 1
DNA molecule initially --> 2)
2. chromosome copies separate as cell wall lengthens
3. cell membrane pinches in
4. septum/ new wall grows
5. cells divide
prokaryotes reproduce by ... - Answer- MITOSIS
- asexual
___________ are the most abundant type pf organism on Earth - Answer- prokaryotes
___________ are the most species-diverse group on earth - Answer- prokaryotes
how are prokaryotes diverse? - Answer- - size
, - mobility
- shape
- metabolism
types of shape - Answer- rod
spheres
spirals
chains
prokaryotic diversity can be largely explained by their.... - Answer- metabolism
how do prokayotes make ATP? - Answer- either by light energy (*photosynthesis*) OR
by organic & by inorganic compounds (*chemosynthesis*)
how do prokaryotes obtain building block molecules: compounds w/ C-C bonds -
Answer- *autotrophs* (make their own food/energy) OR *heterotrophs* (get their energy
from other sources)
differences between bacteria and archaea: DNA packaging - Answer- - both found in
nucleoids (no membrane)
- bacteria: DNA is *supercoiled*
- archaea: supercoiling as well as proteins called *histones* that help wind the DNA
are histones found in eukaryotes? - Answer- yes! anotherl ink between them and
archaea
differences between bacteria and archaea: cell wall - Answer- - bacteria: peptidoglycan
- archaea: no peptidoglycan
differences between bacteria and archaea: transcription - Answer- - bacteria: occurs in
small subunits
- archaea: occurs in larger subunits
differences between bacteria and archaea: translation - Answer- - bacteria: initiated by
another amino acid, NOT methonine
- archaea: initiated by MET
2 types of archaea (excluding extremophiles) - Answer- 1. methanogens
2. thermoacidophiles
methanogens - Answer- - type of archaea produce methane as a byproduct of
metabolism
- inside of animals bodies (ex. cows / deers)
- wetlands marsh gases
- marine sediments
- hot springs
