o   Are Prokaryotes (Don’t have a nucleus)


                PROKARYOTES:
Þ    No nucleus
Þ    Mostly Single Celled
Þ    Have circular chromosomes
Þ    Have Cell Walls
Þ    Reproduce Mostly Asexually (
Þ    Can be Anaerobic (don’t need oxygen to grow) or Aerobic (need oxygen to grow)
Þ    Can be Heterotrophic (get food from other sources) or Autotrophic (makes their own food)
Þ    Can survive in many different environments
Þ    Get their energy from many different sources (places)
Þ    Were earth’s first cells
Þ    Are the simplest forms of LIFE


TWO TYPES of PROKARYOTES (bacteria):
1.     The Domain Archaea: ARCHAEBACTERIA
2.     The Domain Bacteria: EUBACTERIA

Description: Ch18 image 1 archae
1.     ARCHAEBACTERIA: Live in extreme (crazy) places:

§  Some have a second cell wall
Text Box: ➢ Eubacteria Types:
==> Heterotrophs: 
o Are found everywhere
o Are PARASITES: live off of other organisms
o Are SAPROBES: live off dead organisms or waste (recyclers)
==> Photoautotrophs:
o Photosynthetic: make their own food from light
o Cyanobacteria: blue-green, yellow, or red
o Ponds, Streams, Moist Areas
==> Chemoautotrophs:
o Get energy by breaking down inorganic substances like sulfur and nitrogen
o Make nitrogen in the air usable for plants


Description: bacteriaARRANGEMENTS of Bacteria:
§  Paired: Diplo
§  Grape like Clusters: Staphylo
§  Chains: Strepto





SHAPES of Bacteria:
Come in a variety of shapes
§  Spiral
§  Sphere/Round
§  Rod Shaped






BACTERIA:
Description: ch 18 im 5 and 6Pilli:
Hollow hair like structures made of protein
Allows other bacteria to attach to other cells

Ribosomes:
Where proteins are made

Chromosome:

Capsule:
Keeps the cell from drying out and helps it stick to food or other cells

Cell Wall:
Thick outer covering that maintains the overall shape of the bacterial cell

Plasma Membrane:

Flagella:
A whip like tail that some bacteria have for locomotion (to help move) to move towards materials they need to survive. Flagella are made of filaments.

Plasmid




Description: ch 18 im 10
REPRODUCTION of Bacteria:

1.     Binary Fission:
·       Division of a cell into two genetically identical cells (copies & makes another cell exactly like it)
·       One organisms dividing into two organisms
Fission: Is a type of asexual reproduction: production of a living thing from only one parent
HOW? The chromosome makes a copy of itself and divides into two

2.     Conjugation:
·       Two prokaryotes attach to each other and exchange genetic information.

SURVIVAL of Bacteria:
Endospores: The thick-celled structure that forms inside of the cell.
o   Allow bacteria to live for many years
o   Survive through harsh (tough) environments:
§  Boiling/extreme heat
§  Freezing/extreme cold
§  Extremely dry/dehydration
§  A lot of ultra violet radiation


MUTATION of Bacteria:
Bacteria reproduce (copy/make more) quickly and their population grows rapidly (fast).
Þ    Mutations lead to:
o   New kinds of genes
o   New gene combinations (mixes)
o   Genetic diversity


ECOLOGY of Bacteria: Nutrient cycling and nitrogen fixation
Ø  Bacteria are decomposers: Return important nutrients to the environment. Get food from breaking down dead matter into simple chemicals.
Ø  Nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in a symbiotic relationship in the root nodules of plants such as soybeans, clover, and alfalfa.


HELPFUL (good) Bacteria:
·       Normal Flora: Most bacteria that is harmless (will not hurt you) that live in or on you.
·       Decomposers help recycle nutrients into the soil for other organisms to grow.
·       Bacteria grow in the stomach of cows so it can break down the grass and hay it eats.
Some helpful (good) bacteria make:


o    Cheese
o    Yogurt
o    Buttermilk
o    Pickles
o    Vitamins
o    Antibiotics (medicine)
o    Ecoli on Small Intestine
o    Sour Cream
o    Insulin (for diabetes shots)
o    Used to treat sewage
o    Industrial Chemicals.


HARMFUL (bad) Bacteria:
·       A small percent of bad bacteria causes diseases
·       Bad bacteria multiply quickly in an infection
·       Bacteria secrete (put out) a toxin (poison)
·       Animals can pass bad diseases to humans
o   Communicable Disease: a disease is passed from one organism to another
 
VIRUSES:
·       ARE NOT CELLS
·       ARE NOT LIVING
·       No organelles to take in nutrients or use energy
·       Cannot make proteins
·       Cannot move
·       Cannot replicate (copy) on their own
·       Can ONLY replicate (copy) inside a host cell
·       Process or reproduction: LYTIC CYCLE
·       Most viruses range in size from 5 to 300 nanometers

Basic Structure of VIRUSES
o   Protein coat
o   Nucleic acid core (RNA or DNA)
o   Lipoprotein coat (second coat: only in enveloped viruses)


DNA VIRUSES:
·       Are stable
·       Do not mutate rapidly (mutate slowly)
·       Are single or double stranded

Examples of DNA viruses:
o    Smallpox
o    Hepatitis B

RNA VIRUSES:
·       Are Unstable
·       Mutate rapidly (fast)
·       Are single or double stranded

Examples of RNA viruses:
o    HIV
o    Rhinovirus

Description: ch 18 im 22
REPLICATION of Viruses:

The LYTIC CYCLE: The host cell makes copies of the Viral RNA or DNA.
§   Virus attaches to host cell’s membrane and injects its nuclei acid into the hose cell
§   The viral nucleic acid takes over protein synthesis, CREATING NEW VIRUS.
§   The host cell BURSTS, LYSES, and RELEASES the new made virus.

The LYSOGENIC CYCLE:
§  Viral DNA inserts into a chromosome in a host cell.
§  The Infected cell will have the viral genes permanently.
