Study Notes

Characteristics of Prokaryotes

Prokaryotes lack a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
They typically have a circular DNA structure.
Reproduction occurs asexually through binary fission.

Groups Classified as Eukaryotes

Eukaryotes include kingdoms such as Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista.
They possess complex cells with a nucleus and organelles.

Characteristics of Eukaryotes

Eukaryotic cells have linear DNA organized into chromosomes.
They undergo cell division through mitosis and meiosis.
Eukaryotic organisms can be unicellular or multicellular.

Cell Division in Prokaryotes

Prokaryotes divide through a process called binary fission.
This process involves the duplication of genetic material followed by division into two identical cells.

Largest Pathogenic Bacteria

The largest pathogenic bacteria identified is Clostridium botulinum.
It is known to cause botulism, a severe illness associated with muscle paralysis.
