An oceanographer sampling the surface of the ocean discovered many new organisms unknown to science. One of these organisms had the following characteristics: • It was found only on the surface of the Atlantic Ocean and could not be grown in the dark • The organism is colored green • It was growing in very large groups that were visible to the eye • Individual cells of this organism are appear to be identical even though the cells group together in gigantic colonies • Single cells are very small and have no organelles inside them Select all of the characteristics that describe this organism!

If you visit a lake in the middle of the Amazon and take water samples to analyze under a microscope from a nearby university that has good instrumentation and there you detect microorganisms that are not visible to the naked eye. What studies would you do to determine if they are bacteria, archaea, fungi or protozoa? Explain each type of analysis and how would you rule out members of each group? Write at least 3 paragraphs
Which of the following is correct:(a) Cells of all living organisms have a nucleus.(b) Both animal and plant cells have a well defined cell wall.(c) In prokaryotes, there are no membrane bound organelles.(d) Cells are formed de novo from abiotic materials.
Which of the following statements is true? a) cells do not need ribosomes if they have mitochondriab) all cells have a cell membrane but not all cells have a cell wallc) all prokaryotes are unicellular and all eukaryotes are multicellulard) cells can have either a cell membrane or a cell wall or both
You isolated a new microorganism that has single cells and appear to lack a nucleus.Chemical analysis show the presence of both DNA and RNA in the cytoplasm and pseudomurein in the cell wall. In which of the following groups would the organism be classified?
In keeping with the style of Table 17-1, what would you call organisms that are MM N OO; MM NN OO; MMM NN PP?
Archaea (formerly known as archaebacteria) is one of the three major divisions of living organisms; the other two are eubacteria and eukaryotes. Nanoarchaeum equitans is in the Archaea domain and has one of the smallest genomes known, about 0.5 Mb. How can an organism complete its life cycle with so little genetic material?

Subject: Microbiology The author of a general biology textbook writes in reference to the development of antibiotic resistance, “The speed at which bacteria reproduce ensures that sooner or later a mutant bacterium will appear that is able to resist the poison.” How might this mutant bacterial cell appear? Do you agree with the statement? Does this bode ill for the future use of antibiotics?
A group of biology students studied four different cell specimens under a microscope and recorded information about each cell in this table. Which cell is a prokaryote? A. Cell 1 B. Cell 2 C. Cell 3 D. Cell 4
Choose one prokaryote (bacteria or archaea) AND one protest. You can choose a species or more general taxonomic group of interest. Then address the following questions for each. 1. What does the organism look like? Describe or include an image. 2. How does it obtain energy? 3. How does it reproduce? 4. What are its close relatives in the tree of life? 5. Why is it important from a human perspective?
