Document Summary
Prokaryotes: prokaryotes are the most ancient and most biochemically and ecologically diverse organism on. Some other prokaryote features: movement some species use flagella (structurally different from. Eukaryotes flagella: other species, axial filaments- spiral movements, gas vesicles- up and down in water column. Metabolic diversity in prokaryotes: prokaryotes have had billions more years than eukaryotes to adapt and evolve, much greater metabolic diversity than eukaryotes. Chemolithotrophs: chemoautotrophs, uses inorganic molecules as energy source, nh3/no2 to no3, or h2, h2s, sulfur in the deep sea near hydrothermal vents, communities exist with no light. H2s come from the volcanic vents inorganic molecules such as. Identify them (group new species with known species) Biofilms: represent mature state in many microbial communities, area of great current research interest, biofilms in the human body. Important in hygiene, disease, engineering: most thought to be pathogenic, some beneficial, most familiar: dental plaque. In-folding of plasma membrane to increase surface area without increasing volume.
