Chapter 18, Problem 3AQ
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The groups of microbes which are most similar to prokaryotic cell and the related evidences which prove that these microbes are not prokaryotes.
Concept introduction:
All organisms are divided into prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes are characterized by the absence of well defined nucleus which is not enclosed by nuclear membrane. Prokaryotes also lack membrane bound cell organelles. Members of parabasalids belong to Excavata group of protists and are anaerobes in nature. Microsporidia belongs to group of obligate parasitic

- Construct your own concept map using the following words as the concepts. Supply the linking words between each pair of concepts. (Make one concept map for prokaryotic microbes and another for eukaryotic microbes) PROKARYOTIC MICROBES: genus species serotype domain Borrelia burgdorferi spirochete EUKARYOTIC MICROBES: Golgi apparatus chloroplasts cytoplasm endospore ribosomes flagella nucleolusarrow_forwardWhat are the flaws ? Prokaryotes can live in many different environments. Anerobic organisms need oxygen to survive, while aerobic organisms can survive without oxygen. Autotrophs are organisms that can assemble high energy macromolecules for their energy. Chemotrophs are organisms that capture energy from light. Extremophiles are organisms that grow in extreme conditions like boiling water. Gram-positive bacteria have few layers of peptidoglycan, while gram-negative bacteria have many layers of peptidoglycan and are surrounded by an outer membrane. Harmful bacteria can cause illness like food poisoning. Helpful bacteria can be used in food production to make yogurt. The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in eukaryotes were once free living prokaryotes. This is supported by the mitochondria and cytoplasm since they have their own DNA and ribosomes. Harmful protists can cause diseases like malaria in humans and downy mildew in plants. Helpful protists can be…arrow_forwardIn the domain system of classification, prokaryotes are divided into two domains: Bacteria and Archaea. The two domains differ in all BUT one feature.

Together, appearance and arrangement are used to characterize bacteria. Bacteria have three basic shapes (Figure 7.1): cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod), spirilla (spiral). Bacteria can also be differentiated based on their cell arrangement (Figure 7.1): diplo (pairs), strepto (chains), staphylo (clusters).

- Microbiologists have announced the discovery of over 30 new species of bacteria that thrive between the teeth and gums of humans. The bacteria could not be grown in the researcher's laboratories, nor were any of them ever observed via and kind of microscopy. If they couldn't culture them or see them, how could the researchers know they discovered a new species? If they couldn't examine the cells for the presence of a nucleus, how did they determine that the organisms were prokaryotes and not eukaryotes?arrow_forwardI am doing my microbiology homework and I need help with these questions: 1) List the structures ALL bacteria possess. 2) Identify three structures SOME but not all bacteria possess. 5) Describe the structure and function of three different structures found outside of the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. 6) Differentiate between the two main types of bacterial envelope structures. 7) Why are Gram-positive cell walls stronger than Gram-negative cell walls? 8) Name a substance in the envelope of SOME bacteria that can cause severe symptoms in humans. 9) Describe the causes of sporogenesis and germination 10) Compare and contrast the major features of archaea, bacteria and eukaryotes by completing the table below.
