Edition).
CHAPTER 27 – Prokaryotes & The Origin of Metabolic Diversity
PART 1. Directions: All answers are to be completed on your own and neatly written.
1. How common are prokaryotes on earth?
_____________________________________________________________________________
Their collective biological mass is at least 10 times that of all eukaryotes. They are the
dominant species.
_____________________________________________________________________________
2. How do bacterial cell walls differ from plant cell walls?
Differ in molecular composition and construction. Most have cell walls of peptidoglycan.
_____________________________________________________________________________
This molecular fabric encloses the entire bacterium and anchors other molecules that
extend from its surface. Archaean cell walls contain a variety of polysaccharides and
_____________________________________________________________________________
proteins, but lack peptidoglycan.
3. How does the cell wall aid in classifying the bacteria?
Using the gram staining methed we can classify bacteria into 2 groups. Gram + are
_____________________________________________________________________________
bacteria with simpler walls and with large amounts of peptidoglycan. Gram – are bacteria
with less peptidoglycan and are structurally more complex, with outer membranes that
_____________________________________________________________________________
contain lipopolysaccharides.
4. List the methods bacteria use to locomote.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Flagella (most common); Chemostaxis (movement in response to stimulus)
_____________________________________________________________________________
5. Give an example if a stimulus and describe how bacteria react to that stimulus (taxis).
_____________________________________________________________________________
Movement toward nutrients/oxygen (positive chemotaxis); away from a toxic substance
(negative chemotaxis).
_____________________________________________________________________________
6. How do bacteria typically reproduce?
_____________________________________________________________________________
Binary fission. The prokaryote replicates its genetic material and then simply divides
into 2 equal cells. These in turn do the same thing (4, 8, 16, and so on).

d. Photoautotrophs – photosynthetic organisms that capture light energy and use it to drive the
synthesis of organic compounds from CO2.
e. _______________________________________________________________________
e. Chemoautotrophs – need only CO2 as a carbon source. Instead of using light for energy, they
oxidize inorganic substances, such as hydrogen sulfide (H S), ammonia (NH ), or ferrous ions (Fe2+).

Photoheterotrophs – use light for energy but must obtain their carbon in organic form.
g. _______________________________________________________________________
g. Chemoheterotrophs – consume organic molecules for both energy and carbon.
9. How has molecular systematics lead to classifying prokaryotes into two domains?
_____________________________________________________________________________
Using small subunit ribosomal RNA as a marker for evolutionary relationships, Carol
Woese and his colleagues concluded that many prokaryotes once classified as
_____________________________________________________________________________
bacteria are actually more closely related to eukaryotes and belong in a domain of
their own. The domain Archaea was developed for these special prokaryotes.
_____________________________________________________________________________
10. What is the ecological significance of prokaryotes?
Decomposers – convert inorganic compounds into forms that can be taken up by
_____________________________________________________________________________
other organisms.
Nitrogen fixation, O2 production and symbiotic relationships with eukaryotes
_____________________________________________________________________________
(mutualism  intestines, etc.)

11. Why are Protists said to be the most diverse of all eukaryotes?
They inhibit more structural & functional diversity than any other group of organisms.
_____________________________________________________________________________
They are the most nutritionally diverse. Their habitats are diverse.
_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
12. What process is thought to be involved in the genesis of eukaryotes from
prokaryotes?
Endosymbiosis
_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
13. Define serial endosymbiosis?
_____________________________________________________________________________
A process in which certain unicellular organisms engulfed other cells, which become
endosymbionts & ultimately organelles in the host cell.
_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
14. Why do most systematists currently working on eukaryotic relationships consider
Kingdom
Protista and the five kingdom system obsolete?
_____________________________________________________________________________
The Kingdom Protista is polyphyletic including members derived from 2 or more
ancestral forms not common to all members & thus do not reflect phylogeny. Among
_____________________________________________________________________________
several alternate classifications, a popular 8-kingdom system recognizes 3 protist
kingdoms (Archaezoa, Protista & Chromista) in place of the single kingdom Protista.
_____________________________________________________________________________
However, the less inclusive version of the Kingdom Protista is still polyphyletic.
Using nucleic acid sequencing, systematics has begun sorting out monophyletic
_____________________________________________________________________________
groups.

CHAPTER 31 - FUNGI
PART 1. Directions: All answers are to be completed on your own and neatly written.
15. How do fungi acquire nutrients?
They are heterotrophs; they digest their food while it’s still in the environment by
_____________________________________________________________________________
secreting powerful hydrolytic enzymes, (exoenzymes) into their surroundings. They
absorb their nutrients.
_____________________________________________________________________________
16. Because of this mode of nutrition, fungi have evolved what structure to provide for
both
extensive surface area and rapid growth?
Hyphae that form an interwoven mass called mycelium.
_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
17. How do the cell walls of fungi differ from the cell walls of plants?
Made of chitin, a strong but flexible nitrogen-containing polysaccharide that is also
_____________________________________________________________________________
found in external skeletons of insects/arthropods.
_____________________________________________________________________________
18. How do fungi contribute to an ecosystem?
Decomposers are responsible for keeping ecosystems stocked with the inorganic
_____________________________________________________________________________
nutrients essential for plant growth. Some form symbiotic relationships with
photosynthesizers.
_____________________________________________________________________________
19. Give some examples of how fungi are important to humans.
Mycorrhizae = agriculture  provides essential nutrients to plants.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Digestion = helps breakdown plant material in rumenants (eg. cattle).
Food Source = mushrooms and beverages such as beer and wine (yeast).
Medical value = used for reducing high blood pressure, stop maternal bleeding,
production of antibiotics (penicillium), used in molecular and biotechnology research.

Nutritional mode, cell structure & specialization, reproduction & development.
_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
21. List an hypothesis for the origin of animals.
Most systematics now agree that all animal lineages are monophyletic; that is, we can
_____________________________________________________________________________
trace all lineages back to a single common ancestor. The ancestor was probably a
flagellated protest; which was probably related to choanoflagellates.
_____________________________________________________________________________
22. Describe the two forms of symmetry of the Eumetazoa.
_____________________________________________________________________________

the body into two equal but opposite halves.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Radial characterizes a body shape like a pie, with many equal parts radiating outward
_____________________________________________________________________________
like the spokes of a wheel.
23. What is the significance of cephalization as an evolutionary trend?

_____________________________________________________________________________
end of a traveling animal that is usually first to encounter food, danger, and other
stimuli. Also development of the central nervous system. Adaptation for movement
_____________________________________________________________________________
on land.
24. How do the germ layers of Radiata and the other Eumetazoa differ?

28. How does the structure of a sponge relate to its method of nutrition?
They capture food particles suspended in the water that pass through their bodies, which
_____________________________________________________________________________
typically resembles a sac perforated with pores. Water is drawn through the pores into a
central cavity, the spongocoel, and then flows out the sponge through a large opening
_____________________________________________________________________________
called the osculum,
29. What is a unique characteristic common to the Cnidarians?
They exhibit a relatively simple, diploblastic, radial body plan. Their body plan is sac like

Muscular foot, a visceral mass, & a mantle
_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
38. Why do zoologists debate the relationship of Mollusks and Annelids?
The life cycle of many marine mollusks includes a ciliated larvae called the trochophore,
_____________________________________________________________________________
also characteristic of marine annelids and other protostomes. But mollusks lack the one
trait that most defines an annelid heritage – true segmentation.
_____________________________________________________________________________
39. What is the evolutionary significance of the coelom as seen in the Annelids?
_____________________________________________________________________________
The muscles work against the noncompressible coelomic fluid, a hydrostatic skeleton.
The muscles can alter the shape of each segment individually because the coelom is
_____________________________________________________________________________
divided into separate compartments.
40. What is the importance of segmentation?
_____________________________________________________________________________
Each segment of a polychaete has a pair of paddle-like or ridge-like structures called
parapodia (setae) that function in locomotion. Each segment has its own set of nephridia,
_____________________________________________________________________________
which are kidney-like structures.
41. Why are the Arthropoda regarded as the most successful of all animal phyla?
On the criteria of species diversity, distribution, and sheer numbers, arthropods must be
