Bacteria |
Present nad made up of peptidoglycan |
True membrane bound nucleus absent |
DNA present as a thread like structure called nucleoid that floats freely, also circular DNA is present known as plasmid. |
Microscopic, simple, membrane bound organelles are absent, ribosome 70s, dna complexed with histone is absent, diameter ranges from 0.2-2 micrometres, growth by binary fission,flagella is used for locomotion, bot harmful and friendly assosciation with human |
Single celled organism called as unicellular |
|||||||||||
Archaea |
Cell wall composed of Pseudomurein instead of peptidoglycan |
absent |
Histone assosciated dna is present |
Same as bacteria, present in extreme environment and not infect human |
prokaryotic |
|||||||||||
Algae |
Cell wall components are cellulose, alginic acid. |
present |
present |
Chlorophyll bearing, thalloid body, non vascular( xylem, phloem absent),embryonic development absent, locomotion by flagella, both sexual and asexual reproduction. Eg. Volvox, spirogyra, etc |
multicellular |
|||||||||||
Protozoa |
absent |
present |
present |
Aquatic, free living, parasitic, heterotrophic, locomotion by cillia, flagella,pseudopodia, reproduction by both sexual and asexual, infects human like malaria, amoebiasis,etc |
unicellular |
|||||||||||
Viruses |
Absent, protein coat is presemt |
no |
ssDNA, ds DNA or ssRNA and ds RNA |
Simple, and active inside host body, link between living and non living, all virus contains nucliec acid covered bya protein capsid called nucleocapsid, cause diseases in animal, bacteria and plants eg. HIV, TMV,etc |
Nor unicellular nor multicellular |
|||||||||||
Viroids |
no |
no |
ss RNA |
Smaller than virus and infectious particle |
||||||||||||
Prions |
Protein present |
no |
NO |
Similar to a virus Lacking nucleic acid,An infectious particle |
