Monera was divided into what two groups in the late 1900's?
eubacteria and archaebacteria
Eubacteria? (5 points)
larger and more diverse, cell memebrane surrounded by cell wall, cell wall contains peptidoglycan, develop mutulistic as well as paratistic symbiotic relationship
Archeabacteria? (5 points)
very chemically different from eubvacteria, lack peptidoglycan, contain different kinds of lipids in their cell wall, genes more similar to eukaryotic cells, extreme enviornments
3 shapes of bacteria?
bacilli (rod shaped), cocci (spherrical), spirilla (spiral)
Gram Staining? Who developed? What is it?
Hans Christian Gram (1884) Danish Physician, used to identify if the bacteria is either gram positive or negative, allows doctors to know about it
Gram Positive Bacteria?
conatin one cell wall that surrounds the cell membrane, will stain purple and can be treated with antibiotics
Gram Negative bacteria?
contain multiple cell walls, stains pink and can not be treated with antibiotics
Movement of bacteria (4 points)?
some prokaryotes are stationary; other are propelled by their flagella; others lash, snake, or spiral forward; others glide slowly along a layer of slime they produce
Heterotrophic bacteria?
consumers; they consume organic material
Chemoheterotrophs?
most bacteria includes decomposing as well as pathogenic; consume organic molecules for energy and a supply of carbon
Photoheterotrophs?
perform photosynthesis as well as consume organic material; very small group of organisms
Autotrophic bacteria?
producers; produce oxygen to fill the atmosphere and act as a pioneer species
photoautotrophs?
sloley photosynthetic (cyanobacteria)
Chemoautotrophs?
perform chemosynthesis to convert inorganic matter such amonia or hygrogen sulfide into energy
Binary Fission? (4 points)
asexual reproduction; once bacteria reach certain size; cell splits creating 2 new daughter cells; rapid rate of reproduction, can reproduce every 20 minutes
Conjugation? (3 points)
process of genetic exschange between bacteria; pili extensions serve as a bridge of exchange for DNA; genetic exchange increases genetic diversity within a population
Spor formation? (3 points)
strategy used when conditions are not favorable for growth; endospore enclose the DNA and protects it during adverse conditions; allows bacteria to survive harsh conditions by remaining dormant until conditions are right
Decomposers? (2 points)
help return nutrients to the soil by breaking down dead organic matter and therefore keep nutrient cycles flowing and food chains intact; help produce purified water by breaking down complex compunds
Nitrogen Fixers? (3 points)
nitrogen -main ingerdient in fertilizer; limiting nutrient in soil; N2 make up 80% of earth's atmosphere but plants cant use it; some plants have symbiotic relationships with nitrogen fixing bacteria within roots
Human Uses of Bacteria? (4points)
usted to make certain foods and drinks (yogurt, cottage cheese); idustrial uses (purification of drinking water); medical uses-(genetic enginering); symbiotic ralationship between intestinal bacteria
Louis Pasteur?
French chemist, 1822-1895 (developed Germ Theory and pasturization and some vaccines)
Robert Koch?
German physican (First to isolate anthrax, tuberculosis and helped develop Germ Theory)
Koch's Prostulate?
1. pathogen should always be found in the boday of a sick organism and not in a healthy one 2. pathogen must be usolated and grown in a laboratory in pure culture 3, when placed in new host should cause same symptoms 4. the second pathogen should be identical to the first
2 ways bacteria cause disease?
using cells for food and releasing toxins or poisons that travel through body via blood
Preventing bacterial disease? (6 points)
good sanitation and hygiene, use of heat and cold to protect food, vaccines, antibiotics, use of sterile procedures in medicine, and disinfectants
Vaccine?
weakend form of a pathagen that stimulates immune system to make antibodies against disease
Antibiotics?
block the growth and reproduction of bacteria by preventing bacteria from making new cells
Alexander Fleming?
Scotish biologist who discovered penicillan by accident (Fungi in petri dish)
Joseph Lister?
1st one to suggest that surgens use sterile techniques (Olisterine)
Dimitri Ivanovski?
russian biologist (discovered tobacco mosaic virus)
Martinus Beijerink?
Dutch biologist (Gave the virus its name) "Father of Virology (also discovered nitrogen fixation)
Virus Characteristics?
are not a cell, can't reproduce on their own, have trouble maintaing homeostasis, lack a true metabolism
***Extremely microscopic
Their DNA or RNA are surrounded by a ……
protein coat
This protein coat is called a?
capsid
What does the capsid do?
allows virus to bind with the receptors of the host cel and tricks it into allowing it inside.
Plant viruses?
infects only plants; Ex. Tabacco mosaic virus
Animal virus?
infect only animals; Ex. Influenza or small pox
Bacteriophages?
infect only bacteria
**** Depend entirly on the host cell
2 types of viral infection?
lytic and lysogenic
Lytic? (5 points)
lyse- to burst; host cell lyses or ruptures; virus enters cell then virus makes copies of it self then the new virus copies burst out of the host cell Ex. HIV
Lysogenic? (3 points)
viral DNA incorporated into DNA of host cell; viral DNA (prophage) replicates with host cell DNA; once prophage becomes activated it will remove itself from the host DNA and enter the lytic cycle
Prophage?
viral DNA that is embedded in host's DNA
Retrovirus? (3 points)
contains RNA instead of DNA; once virus RNA is inside host, RNA is copied to DNA and takes over the host; "Retro" backwards- RNA to DNA instead of DNA to RNA Ex. HIV
Why cant viruses be treated with antibiotics?
NOT CELLS
Viroids?
single stranded RNA molecules with no capsid proteins; infect many plants and disrupt their cellular metabolisum while stunting growth (tomatoes, potatos, apples, citrus fruits)
Prions?
infectious protein particles that lack DNA and RNA; believed to be the cause of Mad Cow Disease
