Q

who introduced the THREE DOMAINS OF LIFE and WHEN

Study These Flashcards
A

Carl Woese (1990)

25
what tree shows the 3 domains? ----- who created this tree
Phylogenetic Tree of Life by Woese and Fox
26
what are the 3 domains
archaea bacteria eukarya
27
what was said about the origins of the three domains?
that they evolved from a common universal ancestral cell type
28
why are viruses not included in the tree?
they lack ribosomes -> rna -> cannot be classified
29
Examples of Eukarya (10)
Entamoeba Slime molds Animals Fungi Plants Ciliates Flagellates Trichomonads Microsporidia Diplomonads
30
Examples of Bacteria (9)
Aquifex Thermotoga Gram positives Bacteriodes Cytophaga Cyanobacteria Proteobacteria Planctomyces Spirochetes Green filamentous bacteria
31
Examples of Archaea (7)
Thermoproteus Pyrodicticum T. celer Methanococcus Methanobacterium Methanosarcina Halophiles
32
a __-word ___ system for identifying organisms by --- and ----
1. two 2. naming 3. genus/generic (capitalized) 4. species/specific epithet (not capitalized) binomial nomenclature
33
Which of the two can be change (and why) and cannot be changed
Generic Name - can because of NEW INFORMATION Specific Epithet - cannot
34
are scientific names descriptive?
yes
35
what is the provisional taxonomic name applied to bacteria that cannot be cultured
Candidatus (italicized)
36
2 books that act as standard references for identifying and classifying different prokaryotes
1. Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology 2. Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology
37
official publication of record for taxonomy and classification of the 3 domains
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology
38
Involves the study, not of a single cell, but of a population of identical cells
Characterization and Identifcation
39
Reasons for doing characterization (3)
- identification purpose - comparison w other organisms - exploit beneficial characteristics
40

42
3 NUTRITIONAL TYPES under CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS
Based on: 1. Energy Sources 2. Carbon Sources 3. Both
43
2 kinds under E source
Phototrophs (chlorophyll) - gets energy from light source Chemotrophs - from oxidation of chemical compounds
44
2 kinds under C source
Autotrophs - from CO2 and primary producers Heterotrophs - carbon from organic compounds
45
3 PHYSICAL TYPES under CULTURAL CHARACTERISTICS
1. temperature 2. pH 3. oxygen
46
Temperature Intervals for: 1. Psychrophile 2. Psychrotroph 3. Mesophile 4. Thermophile 5. Hyperthermophile
1. -5 to 15 2. 20-30 3. 25-45 4. 45-70 5. 70-110

48
Oxygen requirement types (5)
1. obligate aerobes (completely dependent) 2. obligate anaerobes (O2 toxic) 3. facultative anaerobes (w or w/o) 4. aerotolerant anaerobes (grows well w or w/o) 5. microaerophiles (O2 at only low levels)
49
covers --- characteristics that include (5)
1. microscopic -size -arrangement -differentiation and identification of structures -internal structures -organization morphological
50
biochemical/physiological characteristics
metabolic characteristics
51
2 tests to differentiate microorganisms acc to metabolic characteristics
1. Methyl red - ph indicator acidic - red (+ result) alkali - yellow (- result) 2. Citrate test green - 6.9-7.6 (- result) blue - (+ result)
52
2 TYPES of CELL WALL CHEMISTRY (chemical composition)
1. Gram Positive - 1 thick layer of peptidoglycan 2. Gram Negative - 3 layers
53
composition of capsule
polysaccharides and proteins
54
