Review Remember from earlier this year that there are two broad categories of organisms: *Prokaryotes – have No membrane bound organelle *Eukaryotes –

Archaebacteria and Eubacteria Important Features -all are prokaryotes -all have plasmids (small circular packages of DNA) -most have peptidoglycan in.

Presentation transcript:

Images from NASA, Extraterrestrial life- Does it exist?

What is an extremophile? Microbes that live where nothing else can Extremozymes- enzymes that work under extremes

What is an enzyme? Large biological molecule responsible chemical reactions that sustain life

Enzymes at extremes Extreme temperatures cause proteins to denature, which is why fevers can be dangerous. Temperature pH Salt concentration

Extremophile “Extreme” “loving” Thermophiles- high temperatures Psychrophiles- low temperatures

Chemical Extremes Acidophile Alkaliphile Halophile Dead Sea Mono Lake- soda lake

More Extremophiles… Endolith- Lives inside rocks or pores of minerals Giardia Anaerobe- Lives without the presence of oxygen

Life at the Extreme! Create a Presentation for Tourists (5 minute) Include: Location Challenges of living there Extremophile- scientific name and relevant information How it survives- adaptations Interesting Facts If we were to go into space, where might we find it?
