how do we know that archea is a distinct domain of life
similiar to bacteria
inhabitat harsh environments and anywhere you find life
how are arcxhea similar to bacteria
they have no nucleus and chromosomes of similiar size and organization
archea have no nucleus or membrane bound organelles so they are classsified as
prokaryotes
where can bacteria be found both normal and harsh environments
normals: soils water and human body
harsh: boilinmg waters hot springs hydrothermal vents found in deep ocean or antarctica
bacteria are nicknamed
extremeophiles
how are archea differ bacteria
phylogeny
comparison of organisms
phylogenetic trees
use evolutionary changes and similiarity toi compare organisms
how did carl woese and george fox find archea and bacteria differ
compared 16s rrna of bacteria and our unknown methane producing microbe
they compared those to the 18s rrna of some eukaryotes
prokarytoci vs eukaryotic r rna gene difference
pro=16s
eukaryotes= 18s
although early earth was very extreme how did givew rise to all
archeal and eukaryl cells branched off from bacteria
LUCA gave rise to bacteria
what may have led to the evolution of archea and eukarya
histonesw
what are histones
the dna packagin proteins that protect dna in high temps
found in eukarya and archeal cells
cocci
spherical
bacilli
rod
ireguular
could be rectangular triangular or flat sqwaures
archeal cytoplasm is similar to bacteria how
has diverse mixture of molecules also
prokaryotic so they will also have a region containing the genetic information which is the nucleoid
and has inclsuion bodies
nucleoid
in prokayrotes cyto and region stores genetic information that is non membrane bound
(not an organelle just a region)
what does nucleoid usually have in it
single circular dsDNA molecule
how does archeal cytoskeleton similar to eukarya
archeal skeleton has Ta0583 which is a eukaryotic actin homolog
how is the cytoplasm in archea similar to ukarya
they have histones (very similar to h3 and h4 in eukarya)
archeal only have 4 histone
eukaryal have 8 histones’
cell envelope
how is archeal plasma membrane similar to bacteria and eukaryotic function wise
selective permeability
also used for cell signaling (recieve and send)
energy storage
even tho the function of archeal poasma membrane is similar to bacteria and eukarya the __________ is differenmt
they function similarilky but the compostion of archea is different
archea plasma memvrane composition
made of 2 isoprenoids
phytanyl (bi =layer)
biphytasnyl (in monolayer)
with ether linkages
