Flagellum

Bacteria, virus, and prions all play a part in our life, good and bad. Bacteria are forms of life that are considered living. That’s the difference between virus and prions, who lack the ability to reproduce once they are isolated. The reason behind that is because viruses and prions need a host to reproduce. Bacteria are single celled microbes. The cell is simpler than other organisms because there is no nucleus or membrane bound organelle. Bacteria’s genetic information is contained in a…

This was attached to a flagellum so that there was no need of a brain to interpret what was being seen, it went directly to the muscle. As evolution progressed, the light-sensitive proteins started to make a concave cup-holed shape which made it easier to perceive the direction…

This source is important because it tells people or explains to them so important information and it also will help me answer basic questions about bacteria. Bacteria are the most abundant forms of life and a bacterium has a whip like thread (flagellum) that is used for swimming. “Also a bacterium has a cell wall for a tough protection, a cell membrane controls which substance enters or leaves the cell, and cytoplasm contains chemicals that help work, grow, and divide”( Kindersley). This is…

which are the chloroplasts solar power packs. Cilia and flagella are made up of microtubules that are enclosed in an extension of a plasma membrane; cilia are short structures while flagella are long structures. A cell usually consists of one flagellum or two flagella, but a large number of cilia are present in a cell. They provide movement for organisms through…

Argument To initiate an argument that stands up for Staphylococcus aureus in being a helpful or good bacterium is something I just cannot do. I can argue that the bacteria S. aureus is a terrible and very communicable bacterium, that I can do! I, myself fought S. aureus in one of the worst places possible, my buttock! I know exactly how I caught it as well, I work in the medical field. Though not in a hospital where S. aureus is mostly contracted from hospital to patients, a clinic works…

The two types of bacteria are archaebacteria and eubacteria. What characteristics distinguish these two groups from the other kingdoms? These two groups are different from other kingdoms because all cells in these kingdoms are single-celled organisms whose organelles are not membrane bounds. They are also microscopically small. What is the average size of a bacterium? An average bacterium is about 1-2 micrometres long. How many prokaryote species have been discovered? How many are estimated to…

The main purpose of this book is to defend the thesis that it has been discovered in science that in a cell biochemical systems are “irreducibly complex”, meaning that the removal of a component may cause it to lose function. Using Darwinian terms to explain this would be difficult. The tittle of the book refers to the theoretical mean that the internal working of a device are taken for granted for the discussion of its functions a whole. The author (Michael J. Behe) explains to us in the…

Section 1: Tests used to identify unknown pathogen Mario F. Pedero a 30-year-old male visited his physician complaining of painful bumps and soars on his leg. The patient was diagnosed with HIV + 5 years ago. Due to his diagnosis, cutaneous disorders may manifest from the condition itself, or it can lead to opportunistic infections or infections that are more extensive than normal. The patient was sent to the emergency room were the physical examination revealed skin redness, papule lesions, and…

Reproduction of Archaebacteria Archaeal bacteria do not have a nucleus, so it can not go through mitosis. In a means to reproduce, they procreate using binary fission. During the process multiple fission, the replication of the archaeal DNA occurs and the two strands are pulled apart. Archaeal chromosomes replicate using DNA polymerases that mirror complements eukaryotic enzymes. Protein FtsZ, the protein that directs cell division, forms a contracting ring around the cell. The factors of the…

The Identification of Two Unknown Bacteria Mixtures Through the Method of Characteristic Testing and Elimination Khoa Vuong TA: Charlie Roll Micro 3301 4/11/24. Abstract: There is a surplus amount of microorganisms that are out there in the world. A single swab of any surface, including the human body, will yield many different types of microorganisms. Once grown on a nutrient-rich medium, the identification of these microorganisms can be made by isolating pure colonies and performing and using…
