Document Summary

Archean eon an organisms which secretes enzymes externally into its environment to digest organic materials which are then observed eg. (fungi, protists, monera) Organisms that can grow and survive in an oxygenated environment uses oxygen as a final acceptor uses oxygen to generate energy types: obligate aerobe, microaerophiles. Applied to cells (largely bacterial) that can live without oxygen. Uses metals or inorganic molecules as the final electron acceptors only prokaryotes can be anaerobic ex: obligate anaerobes, facultative anaerobe. A group of photosynthetic organisms that in general possess pigments such as chlorophyll but lack true roots, stems and leaves characteristic of terrestrial plants. Any of the numerous y-shaped gamma globulin proteins found in the blood or lymph, and produced by b cells as an immune defense against foreign agents (antigens). Each antibody has a region that binds specifically to a particular antigen which it neutralizes. A substance that when introduced into the body stimulates the production of an antibody.
