An archaeon in a nutrient-poor environment is most likely to use __________________ for nutrient uptake

ABC transport

Select all the characteristics that apply to archaea Archaea have histones associated with their chromosome. Archaea have multiple copies of chromosomes throughout their life cycle. The archaeal ribosomes are sensitive to the same antibiotics that inhibit bacterial ribosomes. Archaea have a nucleus. Archaea contain ribosomal proteins not found in bacteria or eukaryotes. Archaea have inclusions such as glycogen granules and gas vacuoles. Archaea have the cytoskeletal proteins actin and tubulin.

Archaea with a plasma membrane composed of a tetraether monolayer would most likely be found ______

At a temperature of 90 C

Considering the diversity of membranes and their components in bacterial and archaeal cells, which of the following statements are correct about ALL prokaryotic membranes? Branched hydrocarbons in the lipid side chains are critical for dense packing in a membrane. The fluid mosaic model of membrane structure applies only to bacterial membranes. The cell membrane must be a lipid bilayer to be an effective barrier between the cell cytoplasm and its external environment. Cell membranes require a hydrophobic interior and two hydrophilic surfaces to be an effective barrier between the cell cytoplasm and its external environment. Membrane lipids are covalently bonded to glycerol. Membrane thickness is equivalent to a 40-carbon hydrocarbon chain either in the form of two C20 bilayers, or a single C40 monolayer.

Considering the variations in ribosomes found in bacterial and archaeal cells, which of the following statements are correct about ribosomes in both domains? Ribosomes are composed of RNA and protein Antibiotics that target the ribosome are effective against bacteria and archaea The small ribosomal subunit has 16S and 5.8S RNA molecules Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, a large 50S subunit and a small 30S subunit Ribosomal proteins from bacteria and archaea are also found in eukaryotes
