1. Bacteria
Jason Burton

2. What are the two groups of bacteria?
Eubacteria
“Good” or “true” bacteria.
Live Everywhere
Cell wall with peptidoglycan
Archaebacteria
“Old” bacteria
Live in Extreme Environments (hot springs, high salt concentrations, etc)
Cell wall without peptidoglycan

3. What type of cell are bacteria?
Prokaryotic
No Nucleus or membrane bound organelles.

4. What are the three basic shapes of bacteria?
Cocci – round shape
Bacilli – rod shape
Spirillum – spiral shaped

5. What are the 6 basic parts of a bacteria?
Nuclear Material (DNA)
NO NUCLEUS!!!!
Cytoplasm
Ribosomes
Cell Membrane
Cell wall
with and without peptidoglycan
Gram positive and gram negative (only Eubacteria)
Flagella

6. What is it?
Flagella

7. Genetic Material (DNA)
What is it?
Genetic Material (DNA)

8. What is it?
Cytoplasm

9. What is it? (the small dots)
Ribosomes

10. What is it?
Cell Membrane

11. What is it?
Cell wall

12. What two ways do bacteria reproduce?
Asexual
Binary Fission
Identical Cells
Sexual (pseudo)
Conjugation then Binary Fission
New Genetically Different Cells

13. How do bacteria obtain food?
Autotrophic
Make it themselves with the help of light or inorganic matter and chemicals
Heterotrophic
Breakdown food, dead or decaying matter (organic matter).
decomposer

14. Do bacteria need oxygen?
Yes
Some need oxygen to help break down food. No
Some cannot use oxygen and it is like poison to them and kills the bacteria.

15. Can bacteria protect themselves?
Yes!
Endospore
A small, rounded, thick-walled, resting cell
It contains the cell’s genetic material and some of its cytoplasm.
It can resist freezing, heating, and drying, they can survive for many years

16. What are good things bacteria do for the planet?
Fuel
Some Archaebacteria produces methane
Food
Bacteria assist in making food such as yogurt, pickles, cheese, apple cider.
Recycling
Breaking down dead and decaying matter (decomposer).
Some bacteria are used to clean up oil spills.
Symbiotic Relationships
E. Coli Vitamin K in Human Intestines
Termite gut

17. What are some bad things bacteria do on the planet?
Spoil food
Cause Disease
Food Poisoning
Tetanus
Lyme Disease
Strep Throat
Tuberculosis (TB)
Producing toxins that harm living things.

18. How can you treat bacterial diseases?
Antibiotics
A chemical that kills bacteria or slows their growth without harming the body cells of humans
Vaccines
A substance used in a vaccination that consists of pathogens that have been weakened or killed but can still trigger the immune system into action.
