Q

how did carl woese and george fox find archea and bacteria differ

A

compared 16s rrna of bacteria and our unknown methane producing microbe

they compared those to the 18s rrna of some eukaryotes

17
Q

archeal cytoplasm is similar to bacteria how

A

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

18
Q

nucleoid

A

in prokayrotes cyto and region stores genetic information that is non membrane bound

(not an organelle just a region)

19
Q

what does nucleoid usually have in it

A

single circular dsDNA molecule

20
Q

how does archeal cytoskeleton similar to eukarya

A

archeal skeleton has Ta0583 which is a eukaryotic actin homolog

21
Q

how is the cytoplasm in archea similar to ukarya

A

they have histones (very similar to h3 and h4 in eukarya)

archeal only have 4 histone
eukaryal have 8 histones’

22
Q

cell envelope

how is archeal plasma membrane similar to bacteria and eukaryotic function wise

A

selective permeability

also used for cell signaling (recieve and send)

energy storage

23
Q

even tho the function of archeal poasma membrane is similar to bacteria and eukarya the __________ is differenmt

A

they function similarilky but the compostion of archea is different

24
Q

archea plasma memvrane composition

A

made of 2 isoprenoids

phytanyl (bi =layer)
biphytasnyl (in monolayer)

with ether linkages

25
archea living in high temp environemtn have what in plasma membrane
have isoprenoids bi9phyntanyl (a monolayer) fir added stability
26
the monolayer in archeal is important for
high temps stability (so plasma mem w\ont melt)
27
cell wall in archea function similar to bacteria and eukarya as
adds shapes protection and structure
28
even tho cell wall in archea functions similarily to eukary and bacteria its compsotition is differrnt how
made of psedcuomurein (pseudopeptidoglycsan) in bacteria you have NAM in archeal you have NAT archeal has a beta 1-3 glycocoytic bond bacteria has a beta 1-4 glycosytic bond
29
archeal cell structure
can have s layer (protection and adherance) can have cannulae: formation of networks (communication) can have a flagella (shorter than bacteria) (different composition. than bacteria) archeal have
30
archeal flageullum have _____ subunits while bacterial have _____ subunits
archea are made up of different subunits bacterial are made up of different sub units
31
archeaons can be classified into 4 superphyla:
eukarychaeota tack dpann asgard
32
superhyla euryaarecheota methanogens
methanogens produce methane anaerobes they can cause disease(
33
methanogens produce methane by the reducxtion
of co2 methanol fomale with H2
34
what diseas can methanogens cause
gignivitisi (gum disease) irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) anorexia
35
the rest of superphyla euraychaerotas is
thermophiles: hot environment hyperthermpohiles: extremely hot ] acidophiles: acidic environemt
36
tack superphyla crenarcheota
thermophiles (55c) hyperthermo (80 celsisu) acidophiles (<6pH) barophiles (high pressure) (bottom ocean) all these have many adaptations for survival
37
superphyla TACK thaurmarcheota
mesophiles (15 cels) and psychrophiles (<15 cels) important to biogeochemical cycling detected by rrna sequencing
38
superphyla tack korarcheota
uncultivated (no to date)
39
superphyla asgard lokiarcheota
smaples obtained near lokis castle norway may contain genes encoding eukarfyoticd signature protiens (may be closely related to eukarya)
40
superphyla DPAnN nanoarcheota
nanoarchaeum equitans (only 0one cultivated) 0.4 nm diamter (very smnall) metabolic ndependence (form disticnt relationship with host organism)
41
superphyla euryachaeota halophiles
require high NaCl concentraions (>1.5) maintain high intracell K+ concentrationms (offsets extracel;lular high sodium concentration) high GC cvontent genomes triple bondsz) (A and T= double bond) for protyein denaturing they have acidic proteins aspartic acid and glutamic acid utilize sunlight azs energy source (not thru chlorophyl use bactero rodopsin)
