Bacteria and Archaea
-
Archaea
-
-
-
-
decomposers
chemoheterotrophic prokaryotes that break down dead organisms as well as waste producers and thereby unlocking supplies of carbon, nitrogen, and other elements
-
Compare/Contrast
Prokaryotic Cells
Its Chromosomal DNA is contained in a specific region, called the nucleoid, but NOT encased in a membrane-bound nulceus
-
-
-
Has plasma membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, a cell wall, DNA, and lack membrane-bound organelles
Cell-Surface Structures
-
Gram stain
a technique used to categorize many bacterial species according to differences in cell wall composition
-
gram-negative
walls of bacteria that have less peptidoglycan and are structurally more complex, with an outer membrane that contains lipopolysaccharides (carbohydrates bonded to lipids)
-
-
-
pili
appendages that pull two cells together prior to DNA transfer from one cell to the other. Pili are sometimes referred to as sex pili
-
-
-
metabolic cooperation
-
biofilms
metabolic cooperation between different prokaryotic species often occurs in surface-coating colonies
Eukaryotic Cells
-
has organelles, which have specialized functions, in membrane-bound ompartments or sacs
-
Has plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes.
Major Nutritional Modes
Autotroph
modes
Photoautotroph
-
Carbon Source
Co2, HCO3^-, or related compound
Types of Organisms
Photosynthetic prokaryotes (for example, cyanobacteria); plants; certain protists (for example, algae)
Chemoautotroph
energy source
Inorganic Chemicals (such as H2S, NH3, or Fe^2+
Carbon Source
CO2, HCO3^- or related compound
Types of Organisms
Unique to certain prokaryotes (for example, Sulfolobus)
Heterotroph
modes
Photoheterotroph
-
-
types of organisms
unique to certain aquatic and salt-loving prokaryotes (for example, Rhodobacter, Chloroflexus
Chemoheterotroph
