Review of Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes, & Viruses Tutorial

First, it was inspirational to me too see that the Prokaryotic cells had diversity also. It was the kind of awe and inspiration you get when you visit an Aquarium and see that the underwater world has so many diverse creatures. Diversity is the key characteristic of nature. It would be so unnatural to have all the same looking human beings in everywhere we are. It seems to me strange but true that we are more comfortable among strangers, and we make the strangers our friends through humanity. I believe that is the beauty of our lives that we live in this way - in harmony among differently shaped , coloured creatures. It was a pleasant discovery to find even at the Prokaryotic cell level this diversity existed such as colored ones as the cyanobacteria, multiped shaped ones as cocci, baccilli, and spirilla and helical and ones with functional options like flagella or pili

It was also interesting that bacteria lives in a medium that has the similar viscosity as asphalt. Then is a more evolved biological self one that has a lighter out side? Like the skin we have? I do think having a lighter outside shield can have merits and also downfalls but overall I believe that there is more plus than minus to have skin rather than living in a medium with a viscosity like asphalt. Thank God ! :)

It was impressive to me that the Metanococcus jannaschii is found 3 km down, at 85 deg C
has 1738 genes, 56% of which are new to science has bacteria-like genes and operons
but with eukaryotic-like information processing and secretion systems and eukaryotic protein synthesis and that these findings represent the scientific equivalent of opening a new porthole on Earth and discovering a wholly new view of the universe. In decoding the genetic structure of archaea that the two-thirds of the genes do not look like anything we've ever seen in biology before. The fact that this brings to closure the question of whether archaea are separate and distinct life forms may be a prood of an old saying ...... the world we can't see is bigger than we think.
