Term
18.1 Finding order in Diversity
Why Classify?
Definition
1. To name organisms and group them in a logical manner.
2. Helps when studying the diversity of life.

1. have 1 or 2 cell membranes and a cell wall
2. live almost everywhere
Term
19-1 Bacteria
Archaebacteria-
Definition
1. cell membrane and cell wall are more like eukaryotes than the Eubacteria
2. Classified by the extreme environments they live in
a. oxygen free environments-swamps and animal digestive systems (produce methane gas)
b. Salt Water-Great Salt Lade and Dead Sea in Middle East.
c. Hot, acidic sulfur springs-Yellow Stone National Park
Term
19-1 Bacteria
Classification of both Kingdoms is based on-
Definition
Grouping- makes the prefix of the name
Shapes- make suffix of the name
Gram Staining
Metabolic Diversity
Releasing energy
Growth and Reproduction-(can divide up 1 time every 20 minutes)
Term
19-1 Bacteria Classification
Grouping-
1. single
2. pairs
3. chains
4. clusters
Definition
Makes the prefix of the name
1. no prefix
2. diplo
3. strepto
4. staphylo
Term
19-1 Bacteria Classification
Shapes-
1. round
2. rods
3. spiral
Definition
make suffix of the name
1. cocci (coccus)
2. bacilli (bacillus)
3. spiralla
Term
19-1 Bacteria Classification
Gram Staining
1.
2.
Definition
1. gram positive-purple
2. gram negative-pink(have an extra layer that resists stain and antibiotics)(hard to treat)
Term
19-1 Bacteria Classification
Metabolic diversity-
Definition
Chemoheterotrophs, Photoheterotrophs, Photoautotrophs, Chemoautotrophs
Term
Chemoheterotrophs-
Definition
must take in organic molecules for energy and a supply of carbon
Term
Photoheterotrophs-
Definition
use sunlight to make energy, but must take in organic molecules for a supply of carbon
Term
Photoautotrophs-
Definition
use sunlight for energy and carbon
Term
Chemoautotrophs-
Definition
use energy from reactions with ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, nitrites, sulfur, or iron. Get carbon from carbon dioxide (like photoautotrophs)
Term
19-1 Bacteria Classification
Releasing energy-
1. obligate aerobes
2. obligate anaerobes
3. facultative anaerobes
Definition
1. require a constant supply of oxygen
2. must live in the absence of oxygen
3. can survive with or without oxygen
Term
19-1 Bacteria Classification
Growth and Reproduction
1. binary fission
2. conjugation
3. spore formation
Definition
1. (mitosis) asexual, one cell divides into 2 identical daughter cells
2. a hollow bridge forms between 2 bacteria, they exchange genes. This increases genetic diversity.
3. happens when conditions become unfavorable. Ex.- endospores, can stay dormant for years.

b.
Definition
protein coat
DNA or RNA (not both)
Term
Host cell-
Definition
infected cell, must be specific, virus must match host cell before it can infect it. Ex.-viruses that attack bacteria are bacteriophages
Term
Lytic Infection-
Definition
viral replication (not reproduction)
-the virus (or the viral DNA or RNA) enter host cell
-virus reprograms the host cell to produce and assemble new viruses
-viral enzymes lyse (rupture) the host cell membranes
-the new viruses are release and can infect other cells
-the host cell dies
Term
genus-
Definition
a classification group containing one or more species
Term
Lysogenic Infection-
Definition
a. the virus (or the viral DNA or RNA) enter host cell
b. viral nucleic acid becomes part of the host cell DNA and replicates as the host cell reproduces (now called a prophage)
c. this can go on for many gereations. Can go undetected for years. Ex.-positive HIV usually develops into AIDS (eventually)
d. something triggers the virus to become active
e. enter the lytic infection cycle
