The Evolutionary History of
Biodiversity
Concept 2: Analyzing the diversity of
bacteria, archaea, protists, and fungi
(Ch 26, 27, 28, 31)
Bacteria and Archaea
You must know:
o
The key ways in which prokaryotes differ from
eukaryotes with respect to genome, membranebound organelles, size, and reproduction.
o
Mechanisms that contribute to genetic diversity in
prokaryotes, including transformation, conjugation,
transduction, and mutation.

Refer to pg 174-176 in Holtzclaw, Ch 27 in Campbell and media

The Prokaryote
Cell Wall contains
peptidoglycans
- Gram-positive (simple)
- Gram-negative (complex)
…plus circular plasmids
…or cilia

Try This! Prokaryotes verses Eukaryotes
Prokaryotes
Eukaryotes
Genome
DNA is circular, with
additional circular
plasmids
DNA is not circular
and associated with
many proteins
Membrane-Bound
Organelles
No true nuclei or
Nuclei and
internal
membrane-bound
compartmentalization organelles such as ER,
Golgi, etc
Size
1-5 µm
Reproduction
Asexual: Binary fission Sexual or asexual
10-50 µm
