Document Summary

Prokaryotes used to be called bacteria but genetic analysis showed different dna sequences than eukaryotes. Eukaryotes: species with membrane-bound organelles; include plants, animals, fungi, and protists. Prokaryotes have flagella that are simple, composed of single fibers, and spins like a propeller. Eukaryotes have flagella that whip back and forth rather than rotating and are more complex. Domain archaea: includes kingdom archaebacteria which are not prokaryotes; often inhabit extreme environments. Domain bacteria: includes kingdom bacteria which are all prokaryotes; most abundant organisms on. Domain eukarya: includes kindom fungi, plantae, animalia, and protists; all are eukaryotes. Kingdom archaebacteria: may be oldest forms of life; have distinct membranes, unusual cell walls, and unique metabolic cofactors. Kingdom bacteria: distributed more widely than any other group of organisms. Individual bacteria are microscopic; have cell walls which give them 3 characteristic shapes- bacillus (rod shaped), coccus (spherical), spirillum (spiral). Most bacteria are heterotrophic: energy derive from organic molecules made by other organism.
