MICROBES
The Virus Genetic material + Protein coat Geometric shapes Non -living, Reproductive machine
Villains HIV Hepatitis Herpes Influenza Smallpox Ebola
Infective Pathways Lytic Virus recognizes cell begins cycle of infection immediately. (illness begins) (influenza, common cold, ebola) Lysogenic Virus “hides” in genetic material of host. (provirus) Infective cycle is delayed & infection is harder to treat. (HIV, hepatitis, herpes)
Vaccines
Heroes ? Variegated leaves - flowers
CONTROL Vaccines Temperate – harmless form of a virus is injected Live – small amts of weakened virus BOTH encourage the immune system to make antibodies.
Bacteria Smallest living organism Survive in every environment Helpful & harmful 3 shapes, orientations
Spherical (Coccus)
Rod (Bacillus)
Helical (Spirillum)
Gram + / Gram - Staining technique used to help identify bacterial flora Gram + flora = peptidoglycan in cell wall (stain purple in crystal violet) Gram – flora = no ppg, turn pink when safranin counter stain added.
Heroes ! Help digest food, absorb nutrients Boost immune system
Beneficial species Acidophilus L. casei immunitas
Villains E. coli 0157 Botulinum Anthrax
Exposure ? Contaminated food Unclean hands Animal carriers Warfare
Protection ? WASH HANDS ! Clean / inspect food Clean, pest free living area Vaccines Be alert
Treatment Alexander Fleming 1928 Penicillium notatum mold Killed bacteria in culture First Antibiotic – transformed treatment of disease and infection
1.Misuse treatments for viral infections or repeatedly for bacterial infections 2.Not all bacteria are destroyed by the antibiotic 3.Stronger, resistant bacteria remain 4.More difficult to destroy the bacteria when it infects again
Page text Diagram, color and label the typical bacterium in your notes
Protists
Single cell critters (Protists) Eukaryotes (true nucleus, organelles) Base of food web Both free living and parasitic
Protist Classification Rhizopods (amoeba) Ciliates (paramecium) Sporozoans (malaria- Plasmodium)
Rhizopod Locomotion
Ciliate Locomotion
Flagellate Locomotion
Villains Entameba histolytica (dysentery) Plasmodium (malaria)
PARASITIC PROTISTS
Protist Populations
Microbes Both helpful & harmful… Many that are harmful can be treated Avoid contaminated food, water Vaccines when available ! Common sense
