103 views4 pages

Document Summary

All three undergo glycolysis, transcription and translation of genetic code, and have plasma membranes and ribosomes. Bacteria do not have membrane-enclosed nucleus, has peptidoglycan in cell walls, and have some membrane-enclosed organelles. Archaea do not have membrane-enclosed nucleus, do not have peptidoglycan in cell walls, and have no membrane-enclosed organelles. Eukarya do have membrane-enclosed nucleus, do not have peptidoglycan in cell walls, and have many membrane-enclosed organelles. Both have the same codon, but bacteria use formylmethionine-transfer rna to bring fmet to the ribosome. Bacterial ribosomes are sensitive to chloramphenicol and streptomycin. But archaea ribosomes are sensitive to diphtheria toxin. The existence of these differences are unknown and thought to be due to chance. Also, evolution works with whatever works at the time. Because bacteria have peptidoglycan in their cell walls, a major method of classifying bacteria is through gram-staining. Gram-positive bacteria have a uniformly dense cell wall primarily of peptidoglycan.
