Term
| Prokaryotes differ from Eukaryotes |
|
Definition
| Unicellularity, Cell size, Chromosomes, Cell division/genetic recombination, Internal compartmentalization, Flagella, Metabolic Diversity |
|
|
Term
| Bacteria Differ from Archaea |
|
Definition
| Plasma membranes, Cell Wall, DNA replication, Gene expression |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
in some prokarya, there's an additional protein or glycoprotein layer
often involve ADHESION |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| in bacteria often surrounds other wall layers; enables ADHESION and CAUSES disease sometimes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
thick wall around genome and small portion of cytoplasm
highly resistant to environmental stress |
|
|
Term
| Interior of prokaryotic cells are highly organized |
|
Definition
| Internal membranes, Nucleoid Region, Ribosomes (smaler) |
|
|
Term
| Generalized vs. Specialized Transduction |
|
Definition
Generalized: any gene can be transferred (lytic)
Specialized: only a few genes can be transferred (lysogenic) |
|
|
Term
| Bacteria in Carbon Fixation |
|
Definition
| contribute to the production of oxygen |
|
|
Term
Bacteria in Nitrogen Cycle
Nitrifying Bacteria |
|
Definition
decomposers return nitrogen to the soil as ammonia and is converted to nitrate
in aquatic bacteria, nitrogen fixation is carried out largely by cyanobacteria |
