  1. Monerans:Bacteria Friend or Foe

  2. Prokaryotes • Bacteria = Prokaryotes • Discovered when Robert Hooke and Anton van Leeuwenhoek invented the microscope • Bacteria are the smallest living organism • Unicellular and lack nucleus

  3. Classifying Prokaryotes • 2 Different Groups: • Eubacteria • Great variety • Live almost anywhere (land, water, & in humans) • Cell wall contains peptidoglycan (carbohydrate) • Archaebacteria • Chemically different because lack peptidoglycan • DNA more like that of eukaryotes • Live in harsh environments (no oxygen, very salty, & high temperatures)

  4. Identifying Prokaryotes • Identified by Shape, Chemicals in Cell Walls, Way they Move, & Obtaining Energy • Shapes: • Bacilli = Rod Shaped • Cocci = Spherical Shaped • Spirilla = Spiral & Cork-screw

  5. Obtaining Energy • Heterotrophs • Chemoheterotrophs = take in organic molecules • Photoheterotrophs = photosynthetic (use sunlight) & need organic molecules for energy • Autotrophs • Chemoautotrophs = make organic molecules from carbon dioxide • Photoautotrophs = use light energy and water to carbon compounds and oxygen (like plants)

  6. Living Conditions • Obligate Aerobes = need oxygen to live • Obligate Anaerobes = needs no oxygen • Falcultative Anaerobes = can live with or without oxygen

  7. Reproduction • Binary fission = cell grows to double its size, DNA copied, and then splits • Conjugation = DNA exchanged by bridge that forms and passes on genes • Endospores = spores formed when in bad conditions to live. Spores are dormant, then awaken when good conditions

  8. Bad Bacteria • Pathogens = disease causing (i.e. E. coli )

  9. Good Bacteria • Vaccines = preparation of weak pathogen • Antibiotics = block the regrowth and reproduction of pathogens • Decomposers = help the ecosystem recycle nutrients • Human Uses: • Clean oil spills because some digest petroleum • Purifying water by removing waste products • Making vitamins • Foods & Drinks to help Human Body digestion
