BIOL 226 Chapter Notes - Chapter 27: Anaerobic Respiration, Cellular Respiration, Genetic Recombination
Document Summary
This type of cell wall encloses the entire bacteria due to what it is made of and it also anchors other molecules that extend from its surface: rank 3 types of prokaryotes in terms of the amount of peptidoglycan in their cell wall: in their cell wall: Earth in only two days" is because prokaryotes exhaust their nutrient supply and poison themselves with metabolic waste, face competition from other micro organisms, and they can be consumed by other organisms. Mutations (even though they are rare) increase genetic diversity quickly in species with short generation times and large populations because these species are able to reproduce at such a fast rate. Parasitism: an ecological relationship between two species, in which one species is the parasite (eats the cell contents, tissues, or body fluids of the host) and the other is the host.
