Bio Bacteria Review
Autotroph- Organisms that get their carbon directly from CO2
Pathology- Scientific study of disease
Pilus- protein structures on the surface of some bacteria
Halophile- Salt loving Achaea that live in environments with very high salt concentration
Prokaryote- single celled organisms, lack membrane bound nucleus
Zoonosis- A disease that can be passed down from animals to humans
Endospore- When Gram positive bacteria can form a thick coated, resistant structure
Compare and contrast Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
Gram negative- Dyes red its more complicated and has less peptidoglycan
Gram positive- Dyes purple its less complicated and has more peptidoglycan
Compare and contrast Domain Bacteria and Domain Archaea
Bacteria
1. Cell wall contains peptidoglycan.
2. Heterotroph.
3. One kind of RNA.
4. Cannot live in environments with temperatures above 100 degrees Celcius.
Archaea
1.Cell wall lacks peptidoglycan
2. Autotroph
3. Several kinds of RNA
4. Can live in extreme environmental conditions

Know the shapes and structures of bacteria
Bacillus (rod-shaped)
Coccus (round-shaped)
Spirillum (spiral-shaped)
Streptococci (cocci chain)
Staphylococci (cocci cluster)
Groups of Bacteria
Proteobacteria- Symbiotic Bacteria converts nitrogen to ammonia for plants to use, can cause ulcers
Gram Positive- Can cause strep throat, Lactic acid bacteria, used to make antibiotics
Cyanobacteria- work like plants use photosynthesis to get energy from sunlight, give off oxygen
Spirochetes- Gram negative, spiral shaped bacteria they can cause STI
Chlamydia- Gram negative, live inside animal cells
Structure and Function of Bacteria
Cell wall- Protects the cell and gives the cell shape Cell membrane- Regulates what enters and exits the cell
Cytoplasm- Contains the DNA, ribosomes, organic compound
DNA- is a singular, circular strand, no nucleus
Pilli- Helps cells attach to other cells
Endospores- contains DNA, survives during harsh

    Specific bacterial morphologies noted in exercise one come from the spiral bacteria sample. The shape appears to be corkscrew in nature and vary in length throughout the sample slide. The length varies but the width seems to be uniform. The color most likely arises from the stain used to allow for better visualization of the organism. The Bacillus sample has no discernable morphology and appears as round ended, and cylindrical shaped in nature. The organisms have a black tint which is probably related to the type of statin used for visualization of the organism.…

    BS801 Genes R Us Questions for study: 1. What functions do transcription and translation carry out, and where are they carried out in the cell? Transcription: process of creating an equivalent RNA copy of a sequence of DNA Transcription is the first step leading to gene expression. The stretch of DNA transcribed into an RNA molecule is called a transcription unit and encodes at least one gene. Occurs in nucleus of the cell Translation: Translation is the production of proteins by decoding mRNA produced in transcription. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm where the ribosomes are located. In translation, messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded to produce a specific polypeptideaccording to the rules specified by the genetic code. This uses an mRNA sequence as a template to guide the synthesis of a chain of amino acids that form a protein. 2. Which of the kingdoms of organisms are characterized by unicellularity (the organism has only one single cell)? Protista 3. Bacteria and archaea are both prokaryotes, but they have very different characteristics. How would you compare archaea and bacteria? Archaea cell membrane contains ether linkages cell wall lacks peptidoglycan genes and enzymes behave more like Eukaryotes have three RNA polymerases like eukaryotes extremophiles 4. What process can lead to shrinkage or swelling of a cell? Osmosis 5. What are the different kinds of fibers that make up cytoskeleton? Cells contain elaborate arrays of protein fibers that serve such functions as: Bacteria cell membrane contains ester bonds cell wall made of peptidoglycan have only one RNA polymerase react to antibiotics in a different way than archea do…
