coccus
round bacteria
spirilium
spiral bacteria
staphylo
bacteria cluster together
strepto
bacteria form chains or filaments
where do you put staphylo/strepto
before the bacterial shape
3 ways bacteria obtain energy
photosynthetic bacteria, chemoautotrophic bacteria, heterotrophic bacteria
photosynthetic bacteria
bacteria that carry out most of the planet’s photosynthesis
where must photosynthetic bacteria live
areas with light
chemotrophic bacteria
do not require light and get energy by using chemicals
heterotrophic bacteria
break down bodies of dead organisms
what are heterotrophic bacteria known as
principal decomposers of the living world
what do scientists use to make antibiotics
heterotrophic bacteria
three types of bacterial reproduction
binary fission, conjugation, horizontal gene transfer
conjugation
when two bacteria make contact and reproduce
horizontal gene transfer
non-self dna is transferred into an organism
2 ways bacteria cause diseases
they metabolize their host, secrete toxins that are poisonous to eukaryotic cells
metabolizing host
secrete enzymes that break down complex organic structures and absorb them
uses of bacteria
food, beverages, medecine, industry
are viruses living
no
bacteria or virus smaller
virus
virus
segment of nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat
when is the only time viruses replicate
when they attack or infect a living host cell
what do viruses use to make more viruses
the host cell
