How do Gram-negative bacteria differ from Gram-positivebacteria?a. They are not pathogenic.b. Their peptidoglycan cell wall is thinner.c. Gram-negative bacteria cannot be Gram stained.d. They possess a single plasma membrane.e. Gram-negative bacteria do not photosynthesize.
In the domain system of classification, prokaryotes are divided into two domains: Bacteria and Archaea. The two domains differ in all BUT one feature. Which feature do they have in common?
A.
They both thrive in extreme environments.
B.
They both have prokaryotic cells.
C.
They both are able to live only under anaerobic conditions.
D.
They both have identical cell walls.
Choose one prokaryote (bacteria or archaea) AND one protest. You can choose a species or more general taxonomic group of interest. Then address the following questions for each.
1. What does the organism look like? Describe or include an image.
2. How does it obtain energy?
3. How does it reproduce?
4. What are its close relatives in the tree of life?
5. Why is it important from a human perspective?
