2 What Is a Virus? - Viruses
A virus is a tiny nonliving particle that enters and then reproduces inside a living cell. Virus particles are tiny compared to bacteria. Like organisms- can multiply Host- provide food and energy Parasite- live on the host and cause them harm

3 The Structure of Viruses
All viruses have two basic parts: a protein coat that protects the virus and an inner core made of genetic material. Some viruses are surrounded by an outer membrane envelope.

4 How Viruses Multiply - Viruses
Active viruses enter cells and immediately begin to multiply, leading to the quick death of the invaded cells.

5 - Viruses Diameter The diameter of a circle is a line that passes through the center of the circle and has both of its endpoints on the circle. To find the diameter, draw a line like the one shown below. Then use a metric ruler to measure the length of the line. For example, the diameter of a penny is about 1.9 mm.

6 Diameter - Viruses Practice Problem Measure the diameter of a quarter.
2.4 cm

7 Diameter - Viruses Practice Problem Measure the diameter of a CD.
12 cm

8 How Viruses Multiply - Viruses
Hidden viruses “hide” for a while inside host cells before becoming active.

9 Active and Hidden Viruses Activity

10 How Active Viruses Multiply
Sequencing As you read, make two flowcharts that show how active and hidden viruses multiply. Put the steps in the process in separate boxes in the flowchart, in the order in which they occur. How Active Viruses Multiply Virus attaches to the surface of a living cell. Virus injects genetic material into cell. Cell produces viral proteins and genetic material. Viruses assemble. Cell bursts, releasing viruses.

11 How Hidden Viruses Multiply
Sequencing As you read, make two flowcharts that show how active and hidden viruses multiply. Put the steps in the process in separate boxes in the flowchart, in the order in which they occur. How Hidden Viruses Multiply Virus attaches to cell. Virus injects its genetic material. Virus’s genetic material becomes part of cell’s genetic material. Cell produces viral proteins and genetic material. Viruses are assembled. Cell bursts, releasing viruses.

14 The Bacterial Cell - Bacteria
Bacteria are prokaryotes. The genetic material in the cells is not contained in a nucleus. Single cell organisms Small (µm/mm) Shape: spherical, rodlike, spiral)

15 Bacteria Food and energy
Some are autotrophs-make their own food: use sun’s energy or energy from chemical elements Some are heterotrophs: can’t make their own food( ex: milk, meat, leaves) Respiration: make energy by breaking down the food Reproduction Asexual- cell divides into identical cells; one parent cell Sexual – two parent cells- conjugation ( transfer of genetic material)- cells with new genetic material Endospore formation Unfavorable conditions- endospore ( genetic material+cytoplasm)

16 Role of Bacteria Oxygen production Food production
Environment recycling Environmental clean up Health and medicine

17 Population Explosion - Bacteria
Suppose a bacterium reproduces by binary fission every 20 minutes. The new cells survive and reproduce at the same rate. This graph shows how the bacterial population would grow from a single bacterium.

18 Population Explosion - Bacteria Reading Graphs:
What variable is being plotted on the horizontal axis? What is being plotted on the vertical axis? Horizontal axis–time (minutes); vertical axis–number of bacterial cells.

19 Population Explosion - Bacteria Interpreting Data:
According to the graph, how many cells are there after 20 minutes? One hour? Two hours? 2 cells after 20 minutes; 8 cells after one hour; 64 cells after two hours.

20 Population Explosion - Bacteria Drawing Conclusions:
Describe the pattern you see in the way the bacterial population increases over two hours. The number of cells doubles with each division.

21 Population Explosion - Bacteria Predicting:
Do you think the bacterial population will continue to grow at the same rate? Why or why not? Not likely. The bacteria will continue to reproduce at this rate only as long as the conditions are favorable.

22 Building Vocabulary - Bacteria
After you read the section, reread the paragraphs that contain definitions of Key Terms. Use all the information you have learned to write a definition of each Key Term in your own words. Key Terms: Examples: flagellum respiration binary fission endospore Key Terms: Examples: pasteurization decomposer asexual reproduction Key Terms: Examples: sexual reproduction conjugation Key Terms: Examples: bacteria An endospore is a small, rounded, thick-walled, resting cell that forms inside a bacterial cell. Asexual reproduction is a reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are identical to the parent. A bacterial cell may also have a flagellum, a long, whiplike structure that helps a cell to move. If Leeuwenhoek had owned one of the high-powered microscopes in use today, he would have seen the single-celled organisms known as bacteria in detail. The process of breaking down food to release its energy is called respiration. During pasteurization, food is heated to a temperature that is high enough to kill most harmful bacteria without changing the taste of the food. cytoplasm The region inside the cell membrane, called the cytoplasm, contains a gel-like material. Sexual reproduction involves two parents who combine their genetic material to produce a new organism, which differs from both parents. Bacteria reproduce by a process called binary fission, in which one cell divides to form two identical cells. ribosome These bacteria, which live in the soil, are decomposers—organisms that break down large chemicals in dead organisms into small chemicals. Located in the cytoplasm are tiny structures called ribosomes, chemical factories where proteins are produced. During a process called conjugation, one bacterium transfers some of its genetic material to another bacterium through a thin, threadlike bridge that joins the two cells.

25 Common Bacterial Diseases
- Viruses, Bacteria, and Your Health Common Bacterial Diseases Many bacterial diseases can be cured with antibiotics.

26 Common Viral Diseases - Viruses, Bacteria, and Your Health
Unlike with bacterial diseases, there are currently no medications that can cure viral infections.

27 Using Prior Knowledge - Viruses, Bacteria, and Your Health
Look at the section headings and visuals to see what this section is about. Then write what you already know about diseases caused by viruses and bacteria in a graphic organizer like the one below. As you read, write what you learn. What You Know You can catch a cold from somebody who has one. Some diseases can be treated with medicines. What You Learned You can catch diseases through contact with an infected person, a contaminated object, an infected animal, or an environmental source. Antibiotic resistance results when some bacteria are able to survive in the presence of an antibiotic.
