Q

What is the major characteristic of the Archaebacteria and the Eubacteria?

A

Q

List three ways that archaebacteria are different from eubacteria

A
  • archaebacteria’s cell walls lack a certain compound
  • parts of archaebacteria’s DNA are more similar to eukaryotes than to other bacteria
  • many archaebacteria live in extreme environments

14
Q

Are viruses living organisms?

A

No

15
Q

What is a coccus?

A

Spherical bacteria

16
Q

Give two examples of decomposed organisms?

A

Bacteria and fungi

17
Q

What two kingdoms contain prokaryotic organisms?

A

Archaebacteria and Eubacteria

18
Q

Do most bacteria cause disease in humans?

A

Although many do cause human diseases most do not. They are important decomposed organisms breaking down dead organic material to return nutrients to the food chain

19
Q

Does antibiotic resistant bacteria support evolution?

A

No

20
Q

What does prokaryotic mean?

A

There is no true nucleus with a membrane surrounding it and organelles are not surrounded by a membrane. Genetic material is clumped together in a nuclear area

21
Q

How do most bacteria move?

A

With flagella

22
Q

What is Cyanobacteria?

A

Eubacteria that resembles algae because of its blue green color

23
Q

What is binary fission?

A

DNA is doubled by DNA replication. The cell membrane then pinches in two until the cell splits causing two daughter cells.

24
Q

If bacteria grow so quickly why don’t they cover the whole earth?

A

Because they need very specific conditions to grow in. Lack of food or water, insufficient oxygen and waste build up prevent colonies from getting too big.
