Q

How does penicillin kill a bacteria

A

Stops bacteria from building their cell wall. The bacteria will die without the cell wall

16
Q

Bacteria- Reproduction

A

Asexual. Sexual
Binary fission. Conjugation

17
Q

Nitrogen fixation

A

process by which some bacteria convert N2 gas into ammonia

18
Q

Prokaryote

A

A cell without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Includes bacteria and archaea

19
Q

Bacteria

A

Prokaryotic, unicellular organisms that can be helpful or harmful. They have cell walls and reproduce quickly

20
Q

Binary Fission

A

Asexual reproduction where a single bacterium splits into two identical cells

21
Q

Conjugation

A

Process where two bacteria exchange genetic material via a pilus, increasing genetic diversity

22
Q

Endospore

A

A tough, protective shell formed by bacteria during harsh conditions to survive

23
Q

Gram Stain

A

Lab method that divides bacteria into Gram-positive (purple) and Gram-negative (pink) based on cell wall structure.

24
Q

Gram-Positive

A

Bacteria with thick peptidoglycan walls; stain purple and are usually more sensitive to antibiotics.

25
Gram-Negative
Bacteria with thin peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharides; stain pink and are often antibiotic-resistant.
26
Penicillin
Antibiotic from mold that kills bacteria by damaging their cell walls.
27
Plasmid
Circular DNA in bacteria that often contains helpful genes, like antibiotic resistance.
28
Pili
Hair-like structures on bacteria used for attachment or DNA exchange during conjugation.
29
Flagella
Tail-like structures that help bacteria move.
30
Ribosome
Organelle that builds proteins in bacterial cells.
31
Toxin
Poison produced by some bacteria, such as those causing tetanus or botulism.
32
Biobleaching
Eco-friendly method using bacterial enzymes to treat paper pulp, reducing chemical use.
