25
carbon source for photoautotroph
CO2 or related compound
26
chemoautroph energy source
inorganic chemicals (H2S, NH3, Fe2)
27
carbon source or chemoautotrph
CO2 or related compound
28
energy source of photoheterotroph
sunlight
29
carbon source of photoheterotroph
organic compounds
30
chemoheterotroph energy source
organic compound
31
chemoheterotroph carbon source
organic compounds
32
which modes are present in multicellular eukaryotes
photoautophs and chemoheterotrophs
33
what mode are humans
chemoheterotrophs
34
carbon source
The molecules that an organism uses as its carbon source for generating biomass are referred to as "carbon sources" in biology. It is possible for organic or inorganic sources of carbon
35
saprobes
decomposers
36
what do parasites rely on
living host
37
what does nitrogen fixation male
atmospheric nitrogen available to other organisms
38
process of nitrogen fixation
convert N2 into ammonia (NH3) which is quickly protonated into ammonium (NH4)
39
what is essential for multicellular life
nitrogen fixation
40
can prokaryotes fix nitrogen
yes
41
Thylakoid membrane
localized membranes that carry out photosynthesis
42
mitochondria
sites of cellular respiration, a metabolic process that uses oxygen to generate ATP
43
what is one of the main functions of the two membranes of a mitochondrion
to create the inter-membrane space between them. The inner membrane allows hydrogen ions to pass through it and into the inter-membrane space. However the outer mitochondrial membrane does not allow the hydrogen ions to leave
44
where are chloroplasts found
found in plants and algae
45
what are chlorplasts sites of
photosynthesis
46
inner and outer membrane purpose of chloroplast
The outer membrane of the chloroplast envelope, like that of mitochondria, contains porins and is therefore freely permeable to small molecules. In contrast, the inner membrane is impermeable to ions and metabolites, which are therefore able to enter chloroplasts only via specific membrane transporters.
47
what constrained prokaryotes evolution
their small size and limited genome
48
what did compartmentation in the eukaryotic cell allow
evolution of larger cells because chemical reactions became more efficient
49
what are the two types of prokaryotes
bacteria and archea
50
are humans more closelt relared to archea or bacteria
archea
51
endoplasmic reticulum
transport proteins throughout the cell via vesicles. Site for protein synthesize
52
endosymbiosis
one organism lives inside the cell or cells of another organisms
53
endosymbiont theory
the theory that mitochondria and plastids originated as prokaryotic cells engulfed by a host cell. The engulfed cell and its host then evolved into a single organisms
54
plastids
any class of small organelles such as chloroplasts in the cytoplasm of plant cells containing pigment or food
55
what are alpha proteobacterium a branch of
aerobic bacteria with DNA that are most similar to mitochondrial DNA
56
how do mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate
by binary fission
57
what evidence supports the endosymbiont theory
1)mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA, ribosomes, double membranes 2)mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by binary fission 3)DNA similar to prokaryotes that had similar functions
58
Compartmentalization in cells is
the separation of the cell interior in distinct compartments with specific local conditions that allow the simultaneous occurrence of diverse metabolic reactions and processes.
59
Prokaryotes are
organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles
60
How is it possible for a single genome to give rise to multiple cell types?
As cells divide, they differentiate by expressing different sets of genes (turn off and on genes responsible for each cell type). turn on and off genes to control which proteins are synthesized
61
What is the vast majority of eukaryotic diversity
unicellular
