Summary

This document is lecture notes on microbial world, discussing the three domains of life, characteristics of Prokaryotes (Archaea, and Bacteria) and Eukaryotes with emphasis on their energy sources and metabolic pathways. It includes details about carbon and energy.

and carbon ? how do organisms get energy Lecture 25 microbial world ! CARBON all need carboni organisms Three Domains of life food from autotrophs generate their own inorganic molecules 1. ) Archaed.) Bacteria 2 heterotrophs consume food produced by other organisms 3 ) Eukarya. chemotrophs energy comes directly from chemical reactions phototrophs energy comes from light Note ! not all photoautotrophs do Eukaryotes include plants animals , , fungi, and most algae ! Oxygenic photosynthesis They all have: > a nucleus - > - linear chromosomes ENERGY > - Mitochondria > - sexual reproduction DO DO NOT ↳ Aerobic vs. anaerobic metabolism live * can the organism in the presence of oxygen ? PROKARYOTES : Small cells without nucleus specialized a or organelles cell structure : lack membrane-bound organelles , DNA not enclosed in a nucleus Archaea (prokaryotes ↳ extremophiles w/anaerobic metabolisms size : typically smaller generally Reproductioreproduceasexuallythroughbinary fission places w/out a - must occur in O2 contain additional Small DNA molecules called plasmids ! ↳ found in harsh anoxic environments of extreme salinity or extreme temps ! - ex/ in animal guts or under kilometers of ice EUKARYOTES : larger cells with DNA packed into a membrane-enclosed nucleus and membrane enclosed organelles to compartmentalize cellular processes ↳someareChemoautotrophsthatthrivearoundvoanivesa cell structure : membrane-bound organelles; DNA rich in hydrogen Sulfide enclosed in nucleus size larger : Reproduction Reproduce : both asexually and sexually Genetic material multiple linear chromosomes : Bacteria (prokaryotes) contained within the nucleus ↳ highly diverse group that contains species that live by metabolism possible virtually every mode of nutrition and um ↳ parasites and pathogens mutualism Don some are , others in ↳ many critical roles decomposers of organic others play as matter that recycle nutrients in the environment and as ↳ after ↳ chromosomes doubling symbionts in animal guts in size, areseparated and single cell nucleus splits before two cells splits into the cell divides > - anoxygenic cyanobacteria O methanogens = earliest organisms CYANOBACTERIA EARTH -
