Question 24 options: a) Archaea b) Fungi c) The protist called an amoeba d) Plantaearrow_forwardSort the properties to describe each of the three domains. Some of the properties may be used more than once. Prokaryotic cells Eukaryotic cells Includes plants, animals, and fungi Cell walls with peptidoglycan Includes methanogens and halophiles Bacteria Prokaryotic cells Includes autotrophs and heterotrophs Archaea Eukaryaarrow_forwardPart B: Observation of Prokaryotic Cells Because of the small size of prokaryotic cells, your observation will focus on distinguishing between cell shape and cell arrangement. Together, appearance and arrangement are used to characterize bacteria. Bacteria have three basic shapes (Figure 7.1): cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod), spirilla (spiral). Bacteria can also be differentiated based on their cell arrangement (Figure 7.1): diplo (pairs), strepto (chains), staphylo (clusters).
