Document Summary
Taxonomy: who developed the modern system of classiicaion, what is the two-part scieniic name of an organism, what are the rules for wriing this name, italicized or underlined. The study of evoluionary relaionships, it uilizes phylogenic trees: what is a clade, systemaists study what kind of similariies between organisms when determining. Bacteria have pepidoglycan in cell walls, wheel-and-axel lagella. Spherical, rod, and corkscrew: how can bacteria and archaea be classiied? (characterisics, disinguishing factors) Shape, locomoion, colony appearance (paterns in petri dishes), pigments, nutrient requirements, nucleoide sequences (dna, staining paterns: what survival mechanisms do bacteria and archaea uilize?bioilms, endospores, speciic habitats, anaerobic/aerobic metabolism. Capsule that contains protein and geneic informaion that can withstand harsh condiions for many years, allows bacteria to survive. Wastes, organic compounds (carbs, sugars), inorganic (nitrogen), poisonous compounds (petro), photosynthesis (sunlight: how do cyanobacteria acquire energy, what are the two modes of reproducion in bacteria and archaea and how does each.
