4. Bacteria Verus Viruses: What’s the difference? List 3 characteristics of life. Are bacteria (single celled organisms) and viruses (not independent cells) considered alive?

5. Bacteria: Characteristics of Life Made of cells Pass on genetic information (DNA) Metabolize materials Respond to stimulus Adapt through evolution Maintain homeostasis Cell Membrane Ribosomes Cell Wall DNA

6. Bacteria: Structure Prokaryotes Unicellular DNA floating inside cell Cell membrane present Cell wall present Ribosomes present Can be seen with a microscope Cell Membrane Ribosomes Cell Wall DNA

7. Three bacterial shapes : Rod shaped are called bacilli Sphere shaped are called cocci Spiral shaped are called spirilla

8. How Do We Know Bacteria Are Alive?

9. Viruses: Characteristics of Life Are not made of cells Cannot reproduce independently multiply only by infecting living cells Do not metabolize materials Do not maintain homeostasis However, they do pass on genetic information
