Chapter 2 Flashcards
very diverse
contains singular and multicelled organisms
-Algae
all contain chlorophyll
usually found near surface waters
have rigid cell wall- distinct from bacteria cell wall
Algae
single celled= yeast
multicellular=molds
Fungi
Gain energy from organic materials
mostly found on land
Fungi
microscopic single celled organisms
protozoa
found in water and on land
protozoa
do not have rigid cell wall
protozoa
gain energy from organic matter
most are motile (diverse and feature of their classification)
protozoa
4 classes of protozoa
- ciliates
- flagellates
- heliozoans
- amoebas
contain protein coat surrounding
- essentially protein bag of nucleic acid
virus
termedobligate intracellular parasites
virus
- must have host machinery to replicate
- inactive outside of host
virus
all forms can be infected by this, frequently kills host cells
- but SOME live harmoniously with host for long periods
virus
simpler than viruses
still require host cell for replication
viroid
consist of a single short piece of RNA
viroid
contains no protective protein coat
viroid
smaller than virus
generally cause plant disease
viroid
sunblotch is cause by
avocado sunblotch viroid
infectious proteins
prions
contains no nucleic acid
prion
responsible for 6 neurodegenerative diseases
prion
prions are responsible for which diseases
- Animal
- scrapie in sheep
- mad cow in cattle - human
- kuru
- creutzelt-jakob
macromolecules of the cell include
- DNA and RNA
- proteins
- lipids
- general carbohydrates
chemical bonding on cells include
- covalent
- ionic
- hydrogen
