Prokaryotic cells are smaller than eukaryotic cells.

The collective biomass of prokaryotes is at least 10

times that of all eukaryotes.

16.1 Diversity


Figure 16.1

Several hundred species of bacteria live in and on our bodies,

– decomposing dead skin cells,

– supplying essential vitamins, and

– guarding against pathogenic organisms.

Prokaryotes in soil decompose dead organisms, sustaining chemical cycles.

Gram stain will stain cell walls with peptidoglycan

– Gram-positive contain peptidoglycan, or

– Gram-negative have less peptidoglycan, and more likely to cause disease.

Prokaryote population growth

– binary fission,

– can produce a new generation within hours, and

– can generate a great deal of genetic variation

– by spontaneous mutations,

– increasing the likelihood that some members of the

population will survive changes in the environment.

16.3 Adapt rapidly to changes in the environment


Genome has about one-thousandth as much DNA as a eukaryotic genome and

– one long, circular chromosome packed into a distinct region of the cell.

– additional small, circular DNA molecules called plasmids, replicate independently.

Endospores form to survive extreme heat or cold.

Two sources of energy are used.

– Phototrophs capture energy from sunlight.

– Chemotrophs harness the energy stored in chemicals.

Two sources of carbon are used.

– Autotrophs obtain carbon atoms from carbon dioxide.

– Heterotrophs obtain carbon atoms from organic

compounds in other organisms.

– Prokaryotes are classified into two domains:

– Bacteria and

– Archaea.

16.7 Classification


– Extreme halophiles thrive in very salty places.

– very hot water, such as geysers, and

– acid pools.

– refer to eukaryotes that are not

– plants,

16.13 Diversity


Nutrition

– heterotrophs, protozoans, eat bacteria and other

protists,

Five monophyletic supergroups.

16.13 continued


Primary endosymbiont theory explains mitochondria

and chloroplasts.

– Eukaryotic cells evolved when prokaryotes established

residence within other, larger prokaryotes.

– Mitochondria and chloroplasts

– structural and molecular similarities to prokaryotic

cells and

– replicate and use their own DNA, separate from the

nuclear DNA of the cell.
