BACTERIAWHAT IS BACTERIA – a single celled organism that is a prokaryote

THREE BASIC SHAPES OF BACTERIA ARE

•ROD-LIKE

•SPHERICAL

•SPIRAL

SHAPES OF BACTERIACHOLERA

SHAPES OF BACTERIAGONORRHEA

SHAPES OF BACTERIAMENINGITIS

STRUCTURE OF BACTERIA

•CELL WALL

•CELL MEMBRANE

•CYTOPLASM

•RIBOSOMES

•GENETIC MATERIAL

•FLAGELLUM

KINGDOMS

ARCHEABACTERIA –live in extreme environments, ex. Hot springs, acid, intestines, mud, sewage

EUBACTERIA – in your body, useful or harmless to you,

REPRODUCTIONAsexual/binary fission – Reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces offspring that is identical to the parent. MITOSIS?

Sexual/conjugation – one bacterium transfers its genetic material into another bacterium.

SURVIVAL NEEDSFOOD – Autotrophs and heterotrophs

RESPIRATION – process of breaking down food to release energy. Most need oxygen, some do not.

ENDOSPORE FORMATION – when conditions are unfavorable for growth. In order to survive these conditions bacteria need to form endospores, a small, rounded, thick walled, resting cell that form inside a bacterial cell.

Can resist freezing, heating, and drying

BACTERIA AND THE LIVING WORLD

FUEL – Natural gas, Bacteria produce the methane gas used for fuel

FOOD – Bacteria help make certain foods buy giving the food its flavor and structure.

Example – cheese, yogurt, apple cider, olives, sauerkraut

ENVIRONMENT – Recycling, act as decomposers

Cleanup – breakdown oil and dangerous chemicals
