Chapter notes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are Eukarya more closely related to? Bacteria or Archaea | Archaea |
| To make sense of variation between lineages and species biologist focus of these two themes. | Morphology and Metabolism |
| Morphology Diversity | Size, shape, motility, cell wall composition |
| Cell wall composition | particularly important for single cell organisms |
| Gram Postive | Stained purple, plasma membrane, surrounded by cell wall with extensive peptidoglycan |
| Gram Negative | Pink, cell wall contains two components: 1) thin gelatinous layer containing peptidoglycan 2) outer phopholipid bilayer |
| Penecillin like drugs | disrupt peptidoglycan synthessis |
| Erythromyacin | poison bacterial ribosomes |
| Electron donors and light | Getting a high energy electron, or using light to promote electrons to the top of the electron transport chain |
| Reducing means | accepting electrons, getting electrons |
| Archaea | lack peptidoglycan - there ribosomes are closer to eukaryotes and bacteria, and therefore their... - like us, they also gave introns - |
| Bacteria | only bacteria can photo synthesize***, and fix nitrogen, so indirectly only they can fix C & N |
| Is it common for Bacteria and Archaea to employ elections donors with than sugar and electron acceptors other than O2? | Yup. Will even use hydrogen sulfide (H2S) |
| Enrichment Culture | also provide specific electron donor and specific electron acceptor |
| Does fermentation happen in all organisms? | No |
| Species that use water as a source of electrons in photosynthesis | Oxygenic |
| Bacteria come from the greek word | Bacter, meaning rod or staff |
