Bacterial Diversity

Front 1

What feature has contributed significantly to bacterial diversity?

Back 1

the use of fermentaion that releases carbon dioxide so the gass rose in the air blocking uv rays

Front 2

Whats the difference between gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria?

Back 2

Gram negative is usually pink/red stained and contains some peptidoglycan and an outermembrane. Gram positive has a purple/blue stain, extensive peptidoglycan and retains stain better than gram negative cells do.

Front 3

Describe phototrophs

Back 3

(light feeders) use light energy to promote electrons to the top of the electron transport chain

Front 4

Describe organotrophs

Back 4

oxidize organic molecules w/ high potential energy such as sugars

Front 5

Describe lithotrophs

Back 5

(rock feeders) oxidizes inorganic molecules w/ high potential energy such as ammonia or methane

Front 6

Distinguish differences between Archea, Bacteria, and Eukarya

Back 6

Archea is prokaryotes of extreme enviorments. Bacteria is most of the known prokaryotes. Eukarya is eukaryotic cells.

Front 7

Are prokaryotes monophyletic?

Back 7

Yes
