Question
Chapter 27.6, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: How your diet affects the prokaryotic species that live in your digestive tract.
Concept introduction:
Human digestive tract inhabits around 500-1000 types of bacteria such as Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Escherichia, Clostridium, Bacteroides, and so on. These bacteria produce various bioactive compounds, help in breaking down the food components and producing essential vitamins which impact the human health. A major change in the composition may have a negative influence on health; therefore a balance in the microbiota is necessary.

. Which of the following prokaryotic kingdoms is characterized by the absence of a nucleus, the absence of histone proteins, the presence of fatty acids ester-linked to glycerol in their G-3-P cell membrane, and the presence of enzymes for constructing a peptidoglycan cell wall?
kingdom Archaeobacteria
kingdom Animalia
kingdom Fungi
kingdom Plantae
kingdom Eubacteria
In the geologic time scale, there is a large
delay between the evolution of
photosynthetic bacteria and the increase in
atmospheric oxygen. This delay is accounted
for by the large amount of
iron in the oceans and crust of early Earth
O predators of early photosynthetic bacteria that
reduced population sizes
lead in the oceans and crust of early Earth
O holes in the atmosphere of early Earth that
allowed oxygen to escape
Which of the following can prokaryotes not do? (a) communicate with each other about environmental conditions (b) reproduce sexually (c) live in extreme environments, including high salt, high temperature, and high atmospheric pressure (d) share DNA with other prokaryotes (e) double in population size two or more times an hour

Some estimates indicate that the total biomass of bacteria is larger than that of all plants and animals, despite their tiny size. However, biologists' knowledge of bacteria is very uneven. In some ways, biologists know more about certain bacteria than we do about most animals, including humans. In other ways, biologists still know very little about bacteria and the Bacteria Kingdom. For example, there might be about a million species of bacteria, or there could be billions of different species. Think about benefits and complications related to the biological study and knowledge of bacteria. What are some ways in which bacteria are very well-known and/or easy to study? What are some ways in which bacteria are very poorly-known and/or difficult to study (other than the total number of species).

We're going to focus on those that do not necessarily need oxygen for survival. For this part: aerotolerance, categories under which most prokaryotic organisms can be 1. What oxygen requirement, or aerotolerance, categories allow for an organism to survive in the complete absence of oxygen? Please list those oxygen requirement/aerotolerance categories where an organism doesn't necessarily need oxygen for growth. 2. Oxygen is toxic to most organisms, even you! One reason we don't see the effects of this is because most organisms are able to produce enzymes to counteract this toxicity. This is called, "detoxifying reactive oxygen species (ROS)," as discussed in Chapter 9. In order to survive in the presence of oxygen (if it can), a prokaryotic organism must be able to undergo detoxification of reactive oxygen species. For each category you listed in 1), please provide: A. the enzymes that may be lacking/missing in order to detoxify…arrow_forward
