Chapter 11 Study Cards

Front 1

cyanobacteria

Back 1

the first photosynthetic organisms that appeared on earth. by product of photosynthesis is o2. there are different genera in the phylum. unicellular organisms. they are not considered algae they are prokaryotic.

Front 2

clorophyl vs cloroplast

Back 2

cloroplast is an organelle with a membrane

Front 3

fungi

Back 3

they are more related to animals then plants

Front 4

family

Back 4

ends in aea

Front 5

species

Back 5

includes first letter of genus and then specific epithet.

Front 6

prokareotic domains

Back 6

archea and bacteria

Front 7

hyperthermophiles

Back 7

genus of archea that live in extreme temperatures i.e. solfolobus. can be found in oceanic thermal vents or near volcanic activity or in water geysers and in high suffer environments . lives best at 212 F

Front 8

methanogens

Back 8

genus of convert co2 and H and make methane. they are used in sewage treatment, they are also found in the digestive systems of cows.

Front 9

extreme halophiles

Back 9

genus of prefer environments of extreme solenity. the wireless would have to be dipped in a saturated salt solution in order to handle them. they are found in salt lake or in the dead sea where no other types of cells would survive.

Front 10

extremophiles

Back 10

archea are known as because the prefer extreme environments such as solemnity ph and tempurature. they are never pathogens.

Front 11

acetobacter glucanobacter

Back 11

they are used to make acidic acid (vinegar). they convert alcohol to vinegar. they metabolize alcohol as food

Front 12

rickettsia reckettsii

Back 12

pathogen responsible for rocky mountain fever. arthropod born. this condition is where the epithelial cells of the blood vessels are attacked and the permeability is changed causing them to rupture. if untreated can cause kidney and heart failure. transmitted by tics

Front 13

obligate intracellular parasite

Back 13

have to enter the cell in order to reproduce. which is atypical for bacteria and is more typical of a virus

Front 14

arthropod born

Back 14

transmitted through insects.

Front 15

rickettsia prowazekii

Back 15

typhus transmitted by lice. ann frank died of this

Front 16

rickettsia typhi

Back 16

rat fleas. ann

Front 17

caulobacter

Back 17

stalked bacteria . the shape of it makes it unique like a stalk of cauloflower. found in low nutrient

Front 18

hyphomicrobium

Back 18

budding bacteria. found in low nutrient aquatic organisms.

Front 19

azotobacter rhizobium

Back 19

nitrogen fixing bacteria. they convert n2 or atmospheric nitrogen to ammonium or nitrate directly. acetobacter is found in soil. rhizobium is found on the nodules of plants symbiotically.

rhizo means root in great and bia is life so naturally root life.

azote means nitrogen

Front 20

nitosomonas

Back 20

converts amonia to nitrite

Front 21

nitrobacter

Back 21

nitrite to nitrate

Front 22

thiobacillus

Back 22

nakes sulfate

Front 23

desulfovibrio

Back 23

turns sulfate into hydrogen sulfide

Front 24

bordetella pertusis

Back 24

whopping cough pathogen. there is currently a vaccination available. the cilia of the epithelial lining become paralyzed.
