Differences between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
In prokaryotes this is a freefloating circle, in eukaryotes it is several membrane-bound lines
What is DNA
In archaea, this structure can be a phospholipid monolayer or bilayer, whereas in bacteria they are only bilayer
What is Cytoplasmic Membrane
This cell uses organic molecules as an electron source
What is chemoorganotroph
This component of molecules is used in all nucleotides and all amino acids
What is Nitrogen
Powerhouse of the cell, present in eukaryotes but not prokaryotes
What are mitochondria
In bacterial cells this structure contains peptidoglycan, whereas in archaeal cells it does not
What is the cell wall
This cell uses oxygen as its final electron acceptor
What is an aerobic respirator
The conversion of NH3+ to NO3-
Nitrification
Does not have membrane bound organelles
What is a prokaryote
This protein, located in the cytoplasmic membrane of both Bacteria and Archaea harnesses the energy created by a proton gradient to fuel the creation of usable chemical energy molecules
What is ATP Synthase
This cell uses CO2 as its source of carbon atoms
What is autotroph
The conversion of N2 (nitrogen gas) to NH3+ (ammonia)
What is Nitrogen Fixation
100x smaller than its counterpart listed in the category
What is a prokaryote
This domain can perform PEP group translocation
What is Bacteria?
What is fermenting cell
The conversion of NO3- to N2
The category that contains Protists
What is a eukaryote
This domain has membrane lipids where the head regions are attached to the tail regions via an ether link.
What are Archaea
Cell that uses an organic molecule as its source of carbon atoms
What is a heterotroph
This molecule in the standard nitrogen cycle can be used as both an electron source and as an electron acceptor
What is NO2-
