of 40 Most numerous organisms on Earth

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall BACTERIA: Most numerous organisms on Earth 1 st forms of life on Earth All are prokaryotic General Traits of all prokaryotes: Lack a nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Unicellular (separate or in a colony) Can be autotrophic or heterotrophic (make own food) (obtain food from others) Are microscopic “.” 300 side by side = printed period

of 40 Bacteria is found EVERYWHERE… fFood Air Soil On and in our body On all objects

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 430,000 year old bacteria found in a fresh water lake in Antarctica Deep Ocean

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Cell wall: -made up of proteins and carbs -protects and gives shape to cell. Cell wall

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Cell Wall Cell membrane Cell membrane: -regulates what goes into and out of the cell

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Outer covering that is sticky. Allows bacteria to adhere to surfaces and prevents WBC’s from engulfing them. Cell Wall Cell membrane Capsule

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Cell Wall Cell membrane Capsule Cytoplasm Cytoplasm: -liquid solution which suspends the DNA and ribosomes.

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Cell Wall Cell membrane Capsule Cytoplasm Ribosomes Ribosomes: -uses DNA’s instructions to make all proteins

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Cell Wall Cell membrane Capsule Cytoplasm Ribosomes DNA DNA: -genetic material -1 loop of DNA

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall DNA Sex pili Sex pili: -short proteins which bacteria use to pick up DNA from the environment or from another bacteria cell Flagella: -1 or more whip like structure or movement Flagella

of 40 Flagella: for movement.

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Conjugation During conjugation, a hollow bridge made up of the sex pili forms between two bacterial cells, and segments of DNA move from one cell to the other. Examples of how sex pili are used:

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Transformation: When bacteria use their sex pili to pick up DNA from their environment.

of 40 Ideal Reproductive/Growth Conditions -moisture -warmth -food source -darkness Food and moisture Warm and darkness Ideal warm, dark and moist environment with plenty of food? The human body

of 40 Part A of Bacteria lab Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

of 40 Endospores A hard, protective case that forms around the DNA of the bacteria cell during unfavorable growth conditions. Spores allow bacteria to survive harsh conditions. Spores can remain dormant for months or years.

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Bacteria can be: 1. Heterotrophic -uses other organisms as a food source.

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall 2. Saprophytic: -live off dead matter -bacteria is the #1 decomposer 3. Autotrophic: -makes their own food through photosynthesis.

of 40 Reproduction Binary fission Binary Fission Bacteria copies its DNA and divides in half, producing two identical daughter cells. Form of asexual reproduction Takes about 20 min. in bacteria.

of 40 Most people think of bacteria of only being “bad” but bacteria do a lot of good too!!! Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

of 40 The GOOD…….. To make medicines Oil eating bacteria To make food #1 decomposer Sewage treatment

of 40 The BAD……….. Makes us sick/causes illnesses STD’s: Gonorrhea, Syphilis Chlamydia, Botulism, Lymes Disease, Pinkeye, Tuberculosis, Pneumonia

of 40 Can they be stopped? Refrigeration Freezing Heat: canning, cooking, sterilization Dehydration Antiseptics Antibiotics

of 40 Set up Part B of lab Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall You go to the doctors with a sore throat……………..now what happens????

of 40 The doctor has to classify the bacteria to know how to treat it. 1. The doctor cultures/grows the bacteria.

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Identifying Prokaryotes 2. The doctor determines the shape of the bacteria. Bacilli Rod-shaped prokaryotes are called bacilli.

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Identifying Prokaryotes Spherical prokaryotes are called cocci. Cocci

of 40 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Identifying Prokaryotes Spiral and corkscrew-shaped prokaryotes are called spirilla. Spirilla

of 40 3. The doctor determines its “colony” formation: Strept mean grows in a long chain. Staph means grows in a cluster

of 40 Can you identify these bacteria? Steptococcus Round and in a straight line Staphococcus Round and in a cluster.
