4. BASIC BACTERIA! 100 All bacteria have this type of cell Prokaryotic
Board

5. BASIC BACTERIA!
The bacteria found on Earth millions of years ago are typically found in this domain
Archaebacteria
Board

6. BASIC BACTERIA!
These bacterial structures are used to adhere to surfaces
Pili
Board

7. BASIC BACTERIA!
These bacterial structures can withstand severe conditions
Spores
Board

8. BASIC BACTERIA! 800
This chemical is found in all bacterial (eubacteria) cell walls
Peptidoglycan
Board

9. BASIC BACTERIA! 1000 This form of bacteria is typically pathogenic
Spirillum
Board

10. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS 100
Bacteria reproduce asexually using this method
Binary fission
Board

11. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS 200
Bacteria that can survive with and without oxygen are given this name
Facultative anaerobes
Board

12. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS 400
Describe how resistant bacteria develop
They already exist! People are given antibiotics which kill the weaker bacteria. When people do not take their full antibiotic dose, the resistant bacteria recolonize
Board

13. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS 600
When genes are taken up from the environment, bacteria are said to have reproduced in this way
Transformation
Board

14. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS 800
Some bacteria turn purple from the Gram staining process – why?
Lots of peptidoglycan in cell wall so retain initial stain (purple) = Gram +
Board

15. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS 1000
This type of bacteria is typically pathogenic and resistant to antibiotics
Gram negative (appears reddish pink in Gram stain – resistant to antibiotics due to have very little peptidoglycan its cell walls which antibiotics can break down)
Board

16. MMMMM DINNER! 100 This is the typical inorganic carbon source CO2
Board

17. MMMMM DINNER! 200
Autotrophic bacteria require ________ as their carbon source
Through an inorganic source (such as CO2)
Board

18. MMMMM DINNER! 400
Most bacteria utilize this method of obtaining carbon and energy
Chemoheterotrophism
Board

19. MMMMM DINNER! 600
Cyanobacteria use this method of obtaining nutrients and energy
(hint – they use the same method as plants)
(related interesting fact – cyanobacteria are the oldest known fossils at 3.5 billion years old and thought to have contributed to the development of plants. Chloroplasts (part of the plant which does photosynthesis) were originally cyanobacteria living within plant cells in a symbiotic relationship – making food for its eukaryotic host (the plant) in exchange for a home.
Photoautotrophism
Board

20. MMMMM DINNER! 800
What type of carbon and energy are used by a chemoautotrophic bacteria?
Energy source is a chemical (ie. sulphur, methane, nitrogen) Carbon source = inorganic (CO2)
Board

21. MMMMM DINNER!
Methane-fixing bacteria using this method of obtaining carbon and energy
Chemoautotrophism

Some bacteria have these structures around their cell walls to help protect them
Capsule
Board

24. A Little Bit of Everything! 400
Name 2 pros and 2 cons of bacteria (according to humans)
Pros: decomposition, nutrient recycling, genetic research, industrial use, defence,
Cons: illness, rotting structures, rotting food
Board

25. A Little Bit of Everything! 600
This bacteria is the “link” between the prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is also responsible for adding oxygen to the atmosphere during the development of Earth.
Cyanobacteria (AKA: Blue-Green Algae)
Board

26. A Little Bit of Everything! 800
A small zone of inhibition is referred to as a bad thing when discussing effectiveness of a cleaning product (and antibiotic resistance!) Why?
Bacteria can still survive when cleaner (or antibiotic) is present.
Board

27. A Little Bit of Everything! 1000
Obligate aerobes have this relationship with oxygen
They must have it to survive
