Term
One type of archaea covered previously is crenarchaeota, which survives in many acidic and hot environments. The other group is called euryarchaeota, which is found in many alkaloid, ___, environments. They are also halophiles, meaning they like very ___ environments. Many have also developed a ___ color due to carotenoid pigment. Some of them produce ___ and are ___ anaerobes, often living in the guts of animals like cattle.
Definition
basic, salty, reddish, methane, obligate
Term
Prokaryotes provide many benefits to eukaryotes. For example, like fungi, they ___. They also help to cycle ___ and cyanobacteria are responsible for many of the ___ in ancient Earth. Prokaryotes acting as gut symbionts also aid in digestion and produce vital compounds like ___, which eukaryotes cannot produce.
Definition
decompose, nitrogen, oxygen, vitamin B12
Term
Human prokaryotic pathogens are all ___, not archaea. Some gram negative ones produce ___, which does not kill the host, but is released when a cell lyses. They are ussually lipoplysaccharides. Another type of pathogen is ___. These are usually proteins and are fatal, spreading when the host dies. An example of these are ___ (five in total)
Definition

bacteria

endotoxins

exotoxins

tetanus, botulism, cholera, plague, anthrax

Term
A community of prokaryotes on a surface of something is known as a ___. An example of this is ___.
Definition

biofilm

plaque on teeth

Term
Eukaryotes can be multicellular as well as ___.
Definition
unicellular
Term
A protist is defined as ___. An example of this is ___.
Definition

a eukaryote that is neither a plant, animal or fungi

seaweed, algae

Term
A microbial eukaryote, single celled animal, is called a ___.
Definition
protozoan
Term
Protists and protozoans are ___ groups.
Definition
non-monophyletic
Term
Eukaryotes developed a lot of things. First, they lost their ___, although it was later developed again in ___. They also developed ___ vesicles, more complex ___ structures, a nucleus and more ___.
Definition

cell wall

plants

digestive

flagella

organelles (like mitochondria, which has been lost in some eukarotes, and chloroplast)

Term
The loss of the cell wall in eukaryotes enabled the evolution of ___ bound organelles inside the cell. It also allowed the cell to increase its ___ without increasing its ___.
Definition

membrane

surface area

volume

Term
Mitochondria evolved from ___. Within our cells, they participate in ___ (four things). They are ___ inherited.
Definition

protobacteria

cellular respiration, cell signalling, cell death, growth

maternally 

Term
For chloroplast, primary endosymbiosis occurs when there is ___ membranes separating the cytoplasm of the chloroplast form the cytoplasm of the largest cell. In secondary endosymbiosis there are ___ membranes.
Definition

two

four

 

Term
The idea that mitochondria and chloroplast evolved from ancient bacteria is called the ___.  It was developed by Mereschkowski and later investigated by Margulis.
Definition
Endosymbiotic theory
Term
The eukaryotic cytoskeleton consists of monomers (actin, tubulin and IF proteins) that polymerize and depolymerize. It has several uses: it helps motility through ___ (three things) and also helps chromosomal movement during reproduction.
Definition
psuedopodia, cilia and flagella
Term
The bacteria skeleton is more well known that the archaea skeleton. The bacteria cytoskeleton seems to have homologs to actin, tubulin and IF proteins. It also has special proteins called ___ (two proteins) that are not present in eukaryotes.
Definition
MinD & Soj
Term
The bacteria cytoskeleton helps bacteria by defining its shape. These particular shapes are mostly nuggets (cocci), rods (bacilli) or string (helices). But, the cytoskeleton can also help with ___ and division of the ___ during binary fission.
Definition

cell polarity

genome

 

Term
The common ancestor of all three domains had actin and tubilin. Eukaryotic cytoskeleton creates ___ (in muscles) and interacts with ___ to create movement, which is not seen in prokaryotes.
Definition

force

motor proteins

 

Term
Prokaryote flagella differ greatly from eukaryote flagella. Prokaryote flagellium have a single "fibril" composed of ___ protein. The hook and basal body drive the motion. In eukaryotes (independently evolved), the flagellum is enclosed by a ___ and has a ___ structure of microtubules.
Definition

flagellin

plasma membrane

9+2

Term
One way diversity in eukaryotes (mainly protozoans like paramecium) happens is through conjugation. Initially, there are two cells, each with a micronucleus and a macronucleus. The ___ goes through meiosis, producing four ___. Three of these disintigrate and the last one undergoes mitosis. Then, the two cells swap one ___ each and the ___ disintigrates in each. The two ___ now in each cell fuse and undero mitosis to produce a new ___ and ___.
