Eubacteria
Type of cell:
Unicellular prokaryotes
Habitat:
Soil, hot springs, organic matter/bodies of plants and animals, radioactive waste water, Earth's crust
Reproduction:
Asexual (binary fission)
*Although archea can also do this, a huge difference in reproduction is that eubacteria have the ability to form spores that can remain dormant for years
Anatomical Features:
Cell walls contain peptidoglycan/lipopolysaccharide, found in many shapes (spirals, cocci, coiled, etc.), ester linked lipids in cell membrane
Evolutionary Milestones:
Also helps start the phylogenetic tree, but thought to be the common ancestor of all living organisms
*Being Eukaryotic is sometimes considered a developmental milestone*
Predators/Prey:
Fungi are predators to bacteria and so are other bacteria.
- Some are chemoautotrophic (produce their own food from chemicals found in the surrounding environment), some heterotrophic
Symmetry:
Bilateral Symmetry
Mobility:
Flagella or movement by surrounding environment
Development:
Eubacteria do not have developmental steps such as talking as asexual reproduction makes it to where development includes just following processes within the seven characteristics of life
