Concept explainers

Archaeal cell structure

Bacteria and archaea are two different prokaryotic domains that, along with eukarya, make up the three domains of life. Archaeal organisms can be found all over the biosphere. Many genera are extremophiles, meaning they thrive in extreme environments such as extremely high temperatures, high salinity, or pH extremes. Bacterial and archaeal cells are characterized by the absence of a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.

You are given five test tubes, each containing an unknown protist, and your task is to read the description below and match these five protists that you know to the correct test tube. -Paramecium -Pfiesteria (dinoflagellate) -Navicula (diatom) -Plasmodium -Amoeba In test tube 1, you sketch the organism and come up with a picture that looks like the one below. You note the organism appears to be “eating” the smaller microorganism. Chemical analysis of test tube 2 indicates the presence of a chemical that is toxic to fish and humans. In test tube 3, you detect the presence of substantial amounts of silica.
