quiz 3 Flashcards
Bacteria
Single-celled organisms
the first organism on earth
gram positive
no outer membrane
gram negative
outer membrane
anaerobic
do not need oxygen
aerobic
need oxygen
faculatative
can grow with or without oxygen
types or pathogens
Direct: attaches to a host cell and causes direct damage
Toxins: in gram neg bacteria the outer layer can release endo toxins
Indirect: a secondary immune response is triggered
cyanobacteria
produce oxygen
preform nitrogen fixation
archaea
single-celled, prokaryotic organisms, known to withstand extreme environments
crenarchaeota
lovers of extreme temps
euryarchaeota
lovers of very salty places
kingdom plants
more complex eukaryotic cells have a cell wall, autotrophic, can be vascular and non vascular.
Kingdom fungi
more closely related to animals than plants, absorb nutrients,
Kingdom Anamalia
Eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotrophic, and ingest food
clade metazoa
all animals
clade Eumetazoa
true animals, all animals with true tissues.
Phyla Porifera (sponges)
asymmetric, no cephalization, sessile, multicellular, totipotent, rigid skeletal systems.
are marine and freshwater
5000 species
evolved 550-700mya
estimated 400-10,000 years old
spicules
found in sponges, are the rigid support structures made out of calcium carbonate or silica.
choanocyte
the specialized cell in a sponge that lines the inner walls, and allow them to filter feed.
Cnidaria
corals, anemones, jellyfish
phyla cnidaria body plan
radial symmetry and diploblastic
anemones: polyp and medusa form
no cephalization
have a network of widely distributed neurons
nematocyst
the specialized cells of cnidarians allow for stinging,
and string like part shoots out of the cells with barbs on the end that can sometimes release a toxin
coral bleaching
stress due to increased temp and sunlight that leads corals to expel their symbiote the zooxanthellae.
phyla Platyhelminthes (flatworms)
can be marine, terrestrial, and freshwater
can also be parasitic (tape worms, flukes)
live in moist environments
