Archaea

CO2 fixation is a process in which inorganic carbon is converted into organic carbon that can be used in other pathways to synthesize macromolecules. The Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) pathway is often utilize by photoautotroph, photoheterotroph, and lithoautotroph for CO2 fixation. The CBB pathway is a cyclic pathway that occurs in 3 stages, the carboxylation phase, follow by the reduction phase, and then the regeneration phase. In the carboxylation phase, a 5 carbons compound called ribulose…

millions can fit into the eye of a needle. They are the oldest form of life on earth. Microbe is a term for tiny creatures that individually are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Microbes include bacteria, fungi, archaea, and protists. We all know about bacteria and fungi. Archaea are bacteria-like creatures that have some traits not found in any true bacteria. Protists include…

Worksheet Please submit your assignment as a .pdf file. This ensures that it is readable on every computer. Please also put your last name in your save file (i.e. ChewBookofLife.pdf) 1. What organisms are believed to be the oldest organisms on Earth? Archaea (oldest!) and Bacteria. 2. What do you think are the implications of studying these organisms in comparison to human DNA? What knowledge might we gain about ourselves from them? There are many genes that are similar and have the same…

Many people might be flabbergasted to hear that about 80% of the world’s Species are undiscovered. How is scientific knowledge always changing and what impacts do these changes have on society? Scientific is always changing , there are many positive effects that these changes have on everyday people's lives. The new food plate, medical reports, and changes in taxonomy classification, all affect people's lives. To Lead off Science is always changing; an example of a way the science is changing…

pathogenic antigen that requires a host cell to replicate to cause harm. The virus can attach itself to several kinds of living host such as plants, animals, bacteria and archaea. Although there is some exception, virus is very specific when it comes to appending a host. Animal virus only affects animals, same goes with archaea, bacteria and plant viruses. One specific virus that is endemic to countries near the equator is the dengue virus. DENV or dengue virus, is prevalent in the Philippines…

Reproduction of Archaebacteria Archaeal bacteria do not have a nucleus, so it can not go through mitosis. In a means to reproduce, they procreate using binary fission. During the process multiple fission, the replication of the archaeal DNA occurs and the two strands are pulled apart. Archaeal chromosomes replicate using DNA polymerases that mirror complements eukaryotic enzymes. Protein FtsZ, the protein that directs cell division, forms a contracting ring around the cell. The factors of the…

reduce symptoms of digestive disorders, prevent kidney stones, and improve general health1. The human body has its own microbiome13. A microbiome is compiled of all the microorganisms in an environment, and the human microbiome consists of bacteria, archaea, virus, and eukaryotic microbes13. The gut is the most diverse microbiome in the human body due to the amount of bacteria used13. The quality of gut flora impacts digestion, metabolism, and the immune system1. This is where probiotics…

15. If true chemical bonds bind atoms together to form a molecule through electron sharing, what is special about a Hydrogen Bond that makes it not a true chemical bond? My Answer: B) Unequal distributions of the protons generates partial charges Correct Answer: A) Electrons are shared unequally between different atoms Why my answer was wrong: I did not realize that the answer says, “protons,” instead of, “electrons.” The protons are not distributed from the nucleus, because if they were, the…

either because it has vaporized, or because it is trapped in its solid form. Another form of a water starved environment is environments with high salinity, such as the environments where you would find Haloarcula marismortui, an extreme halophilic archaea from…

ANAEROBIC DIGESTION MODEL (ADM1) The ADM1 as proposed by the IWA Task Group for Mathematical Modelling of Anaerobic Digestion Processes (Batstone et al., 2002a) is a structured but highly complex model which describes 7 groups of bacteria and archaea (included in a total of 32 dynamic state concentration variables) catalyzing 19 biochemical kinetic processes coupled to 105 kinetic and stoichiometric parameters. The set of differential equations (DE) of the ADM1 for the calculation of the…
