QuestionAnswer
Prokaryotes Lack nucleus, single-celled, circular chromosome, asexual binary fission. Produces biodegradable plastics.
Molecular systematics Comparison of SSU-rRNA
Five Major Clades of Bacteria: Proteobacteria Alpha: intracellular Gamma: legionares Delta: some predatory Epsilon: stomach ulcers
Five Major Clades of Bacteria: Chlamydia Intracellular (within cell)
Five Major Clades of Bacteria: Spirochetes Spiral shaped, movable bacteria.
Five Major Clades of Bacteria: Gram Positive Bacteria Antibiotics (clostridium)
Five Major Clades of Bacteria: Cyanobacteria Plant-like, oxygen-releasing
Antibiotics Works on bacteria, NOT viruses. Any natural (metabolic process) or synthetic substance (drug) that inhibits or kills bacteria.
Antimicrobial Agent Any natural or synthetic compound that kills bacteria, fungus, and virus
Antibodies B cell receptors (antibodies) bind directly to antigens (non-self, foreign substance)
Bacterial STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) can get reinfected (not immune)
Syphilis Enters through tiny cuts in mucous membranes and can pass to developing fetus. Sexually transmitted
Penicillin Interferes with cell wall formation. Tetracycline and chloramphenicol bind to bacterial ribosome and block protein synthesis.
Archaea Prokaryotes that have differences from bacteria due to membrane lipids/cell wall. Similar to eukaryotes.
What are archaea often classified by? ecology, metabolism, extremophiles status.
What do archaea do? Obligate Anaerobes (cannot tolerate oxygen) Oxidize hydrogen Produce methane gas Found in: swamps, digestive tracts of animals, sewage Important in carbon cycle and climate change
Thermoacidophiles live in extreme heat and acidic environment.
Halophiles live in extremely salty environment, do not release oxygen Uses bacteriorhodospin (purple pigment) to capture light energy
Mitochondria Sites of cellular respiration, metabolic process that uses oxygen to drive the generation of ATP by extracting energy from sugars, fats, other fuels.
Chloroplast Found in plants and algae, are the sites of photosynthesis
Endosymbiont Theory Eukaryotic cells formed when a large prokaryote engulfed smaller prokaryotes that became organelles (like mitochondria).
Cristae Convoluted inner membrane infoldings of mitochondria.
Mitochondrial Matrix Second compartment enclosed by the inner membrane. Contains many enzymes.
Thylakoids Flattened, interconnected sac (membranous system inside chloroplasts)
Granum Stack of thylakoid
Stroma Fluid outside thylakoid containing chloroplast DNA, ribosomes, and enzymes.
Plastids Specialized member of a family of chloroplasts that are closely related plant organelles
Amyloplast Colorless organelle that stores starch
Chromoplast Has pigments that give fruits and flowers orange/yellow hues
Peroxisome specialized metabolic compartment bounded by a single membrane.
Glyoxysomes Found in fat-storing tissues of plant seeds
Stromatolites Layered rocks formed when prokaryotes bind thin films of sediment together
Endosymbiosis Cell living in another cell
Serial endosymbiosis Hypothesis that mitochondria evolved before plastids through a sequence of endosymbiotic events.
Cambrian Expolsion Animal phyla appear suddenly in fossils formed years ago.
Protists FAPE (fungi, animals, plants, eukaryotes), eukaryotes only tho
Ocelloid Dinoflagellate protist that's a complex eye-like organelle
Mixotrophs Organism uses autotrophic and heterotrophic means of gaining nutrients. Combine photosynthesis and heterotrophic.
Algae (red and green) two lineages of photosynthetic protists that underwent secondary endosymbiosis
Secondary endosymbiosis Eukaryotic cell engulfs another eukaryotic cell that already has chloroplasts.
Nucleomorph Tiny vestigial nucleus in an engulfed cell
Amitochondriate protists organisms without conventional mitochondria and with fewer membrane enclosed organelles than other protist groups
Protista Eukaryotic (Cells have membrane bound organelles) Not animals, plants, or fungi -> considered a "waste basket taxon" for eukaryotes that do not fit elsewhere.
Body plan and structure of Protists Unicellular (single celled organisms) Colonial (groups of cells living together but w limited specialization) Multicellular (multiple cells w some differentiation, but not as complex as plants or animals).
Locomotion: Cilia Short, hair like structures for moving/feeding
Locomotion: Flagella Long, whip-like structures, not homologous with prokaryotes
Locomotion: Pseudopia Cytoplasmic extensions used for movement/engulfing food
Locomotion: Passive/non-motile some protists rely on currents or are stationary
Asexual reproduction Most common form of reproduction in protists, occurs by mitosis (cell division)
Sexual reproduction When organism experiences environmental stress Forms cyst (protective, dormant structure) to survive unfavorable conditions
Diplontic fertilization, zygote, mitosis, diploid multicellular organism, meiosis *humans use this life cycle*
Haplontic Haploid multicellular organism, mitosis, fertilization, meiosis, mitosis
Alternation of generation Haploid multicellular organism (gametophyte), mitosis, gametes, fertilization, zygote, mitosis, meiosis, mitosis, spores
Evidence for Endosymbiotic Hypothesis: Nucleus Surrounded by double membrane Protects DNA Allows complex regulation of genetic activity
Evidence for Endosymbiotic Hypothesis: Mitochondria Alpha proteobacteria. Double membrane, own DNA, own tRNA, and ribosomes, binary fission replication
Evidence for Endosymbiotic Hypothesis: Chloroplast Cyanobacteria. Double membrane, own DNA, own tRNA, and ribosomes, binary fission replication
Eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotic ancestors
Mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from _____ through ______. Bacteria, endosymbiosis
Mitosis (PMAT) Prophase: chromosomes condense Metaphase: line up in the middle Anaphase: sister chromatids seperate Telophase: two nuclei form
Meiosis I Prophase I → homologous chromosomes pair + crossing over Metaphase I → pairs line up Anaphase I → pairs separate Telophase I → 2 cells form
Meiosis II (like mitosis) Chromosomes line up again Sister chromatids separate Result: 4 different cells Diploid (2N) → Haploid (1N) Used for sexual reproduction
Like prokaryotes, mitochondria and chloroplasts contain ___ and ____ associated with their inner membranes Ribosomes, circular dna molecules
Mitochondria and chloroplasts differ from other eukaryotic organelles in that they have two membranes surrounding them
Mitochondria and chloroplasts differ from other eukaryotic organelles in that they grow and reproduce in the cell
In the endosymbiosis model, the engulfed cell is called the ____ and the cell containing the engulfed cell is the _____ endosymbiont, host
Mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by a splitting process that is very similar to Bacteria
In terms of _____, _____, _____, the ribosomes of mitochondria and plastids are more similar to bacterial ribosomes than they are to cytoplasmic ribosomes of eukaryotic cells. size, sensitivity to certain antibiotics, RNA sequences
Several lines of evidence suggest that chloroplast likely evolved from Cyanobacteria
Several lines of evidence suggest that mitochondria likely evolved from Alpha proteobacteria
Organisms such as chlorarachniophytes contain a nucleomorph, a tiny vestigial nucleus. Its presence supports ____. secondary endosymbiosis
In the serial endosymbiosis model, the first symbiont would be a(n) ____. alpha proteobacteria
____ May cause "red tide", blooms of these organisms containing toxins that may be fatal to humans Dinoflagellates
This group of parasites spread through their host as tiny infectious cells called sporozoites Apicomplexans
This term describes photosynthetic plankton including photosynthetic bacteria as well as algae. Phytoplankton
The causative agent of malaria is ___ Plasmodium
The causative agent of sudden oak death is ____ Phytophthora ramorum
Massive fish kills have been attributed to ____ Pfiesteria shumwayae
Some members of this group of protists are found as photosynthetic symbionts with coral polyps. Dinoflagellates
In aquatic ecosystems, protists are major primary producers. Their abundance is held in check by low concentrations of ___,___, or ___ . Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Iron
This symbiont lives in the gut of termites and enables the hosts to digest wood A parabasalid hypermastigote
Scientists estimate that ___% of the world's photosynthesis is performed by diatoms, dinoflagellates and other aquatic protists. Thirty
