| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Gram-negative, budding bacteria; cell walls like Archaea, organelles like eukaryotes | Planctomycetes (Planctomyces, Gemata) |
| Intracellular parasites, human pathogens; no peptidoglycan in cell walls, gram-negative; lifecycle that proceeds through elementary body to reticulate body | Chlamydiae (Chlamydia, Chlamydophila) |
| Human pathogens (relapsing fever and Lyme disease, transmitted by ticks and lice) | Spirochaetes (Borellia) |
| Human pathogens (syphilus) | Spirochaetes (Treponema) |
