Prokaryotes vs. Eukaryotes • Unicellular, some colonial • Typically 0.5um diameter • Various shapes • Well organized, all life functions are within one cell
Domain Archea • Share some traits with Bacteria and some with eukaryotes
The Archaea • Live in extreme environments • Extremophiles • Extreme halophile • Extreme thermophile • Methanogens
Domain Bacteria • Include the majority of familiar bacteria • Some are pathogenic • Some are beneficial
Cell Structure • Cell wall, Bacteria have peptidoglycan • Gram staining can divide into 2 groups • Gram positive – simple walls, less peptidoglycan • Gram negative – less peptidoglycan, structurally more complex, outer layer of lipopolysaccharide • Capsule or slime layer • Protect against dehydration, stick to surface, shield against attacks by immune systems • Motility by flagella • Fimbraeused to attach cell to surface • One large, circular DNA
Roles in the Biosphere • Chemical Recycling • Carbon cycle • Nitrogen cycle • Ecological Interactions • Symbiotic relationships • Pathogens
Domain Eukarya • Protista • Fungi • Planta • Animalia
Protista • Remember that the field of taxonomy is constantly evolving • Eukarya is divided into 5 supergroups that include planta, animalia, fungi and protista • Most protista are unicellular • All are eukaryotic
Excavata • Based on morphological studies of the cytoskeleton • Some have “excavated” feeding groove • Each group is monophyletic • Diplomonads/Parabasalids – lack plastids, have modified mitochondria, often anaerobic • Giardia, Trichomonas • Euglenozoans – rod or crystalline structure inside the flagella • Kinetoplastids - Trypanosoma • Euglenid - Euglena
Chromalveolates • Evolved from Secondary Endosymbiosis – common ancestor engulfed a single celled red algae • Monophyletic groups • Alveolates, Stramenopile
Alveolates • Membrane bound sacs under the plasma membrane • Dinoflagellates – cellulose plates, groves for flagella • Apicomplexans – complex life cycle, animal parasites • Ciliates – use cilia for movement, feeding; two types of nuclei and conjugation
Stramenopile • Important photosynthetic organisms • Characteristic flagellum with numerous, hairlike projections • Diatoms, Golden and Brown algae, Oomycetes
Diatom • Unicellular algae • Wall made of silica • Diatomaceous earth • 100,000 living species
Golden Algae • Yellow and brown carotenoids • Biflagellated • Mostly unicellular, some colonial
Brown Algae • Multicellular marine ‘seaweed’ • Carotenoid pigments • Thallus - plantlike algal body • No stem, root or leaves • Leaflike blades with airfilled floats, and holdfast • Food, thickening agent
Oomycetes • Water mold, white rust, downy mildew • Previously fungi • Cell walls are cellulose • Convergent evolution • No plastids, no photosynthesis • Phytophthora – caused potato blight in 19th century, known as the Irish famine
Rhizarians • Defined by similarity in their DNA • Vary in morphology • Monophyletic group • Radiolarians • Forams or foraminifera • Cercozoans • Often referred to as amoebas because have threadlike pseudopodia
Red and Green Algae • 475 mya, a heterotrophic protist acquired a cyanobacterialendosymbiont = red and green algae • Archaeplastida – red, green algae and land plants evolved from a common ancestor
Red Algae • Red color due to phycoerythrin, masks chlorophyll • Pigments absorb red/green light which absorb deeper • Multicellular, diverse lifecycles • Porphyra or Nori
Green Algae • Cellular structure similar to that of land plants
Unikonts • Related to fungi and animals, very diverse • Some research says these were the first eukaryotes to diverge from other eukaryotes. • Amoebozoans – lobe shaped pseudopodia • Entamoeba– parasitic • Gymnamoeba - soil, freshwater, marine • Slime molds – cellular and plasmodial
Plants • Land plants evolved from green algae ancestor • Adaptations for movement to land • Ability to survive out of water • Brighter light • More carbon dioxide that water • Soil rich in nutrients • Few herbivores and pathogens in the beginning • Challenges to living out of water • Scarcity of water • Lack of structural support
Four traits that appear in land plants, but not in ancestral algae
Alternation of generations and multicellular, dependent embryos
Moss • Moss consists of gametophytes • Blades are often one cell thick • Often have a thick cuticle
Liverworts • Liver-shaped gametophytes are elevated on thallus • Marchantia
Hornwort • Long tapered sporophyte • Lacks seta, only sporangium is present
Seedless Vascular Plants • Sperm are flagellated and must swim through a film of water to fertilize the egg • Lycophyta – club mosses, spike moss and quillworts • Pterphyta – ferns, horsetails, Psilophyta (whisk ferns)
Lycophyta • Often are epiphytes – use other plants as substrate but are not parasites • Upright stems with small leaves
Pterophyta • Ferns, Horsetails, Whisk ferns
Importance of Seedless Plants • Devonian and Carboniferous periods, forming the first forests • Rapidly removed carbon dioxide from atmosphere, resulting in glacial periods • Eventually became coal
Seed Plants • Gymnosperms – naked seeds on cones • Ginkgophyta • Cycadophyta • Gnetophyta • Coniferophyta • Angiosperms • Anthophyta – flowering plants
