Section 1-Prokaryotes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| name the two groups prokaryotes are divided into | eubacteria and archaebacteria |
| which group of eubacteria contains peptidoglycan, a carbohydrate, in its cell wall | eubacteria |
| _______ lack peptidoglycan, a carbohydrate found in the cell walls of ___________, and their membrane lipids are quite different. | archaebacteria, eubacteria |
| the DNA sequences of ________ genes are more like those of eukaryotes than those of _________ | archaebacteria, eubacteria |
| Prokaryotes are identified by their _______, the chamical makeup of their ______ _______, the ways they _________, and the ways they obtain ________ | shapes, cell walls, move, energy |
| rod shaped prokaryotes | bacilli |
| spherical prokaryotes | cocci |
| spiral and corkscrew shaped prokaryotes | spirilla |
| what are the two different types of cell walls that are found in eubacteria | gram-positive or gram-negative |
| whiplike structures used for movement | flagella |
| group of prokaryotes that carry out photosynthesis in a manner similar to green plants | photoautotrophs |
| obtain energy directly from inorganic molecules | chemoautotrophs |
| capture sunlight for energy but also need organic compounds for nutrition | photoheterotrophs |
| organisms that require a constant supply of oxygen | obligate aerobes |
| cannot have oxygen | obligate anaerobes |
| can survive with or without oxygen | facultative anaerobes |
| reproduction in which a prokaryote has nearly doubled in size, it replicates its DNA and divides in half, producing two identical daughter cells | binary fission |
| the exchange of genetic information | conjugation |
| type of spore formed when a bacterium produces a thick internal wall that incloses DNA and a portion of its cytoplasm | endospore |
