A

•Harsh conditions: hot springs, methanogen mud & animal digestive tract

17
Q

Prochlorobacteria

•Chlorophyll a/b

18
Q

What is the difference between heterotrophs & autotrophs?

A

•Autotrophs: Synthesis own food

19
Q

What do Phototrophic do?

A

•Photosynthetic ->energy

20
Q

What do Chemotrophic do?

A

•In/Organic molecules break down ->energy (like us)

21
Q

How do bacteria release energy?

A
  • Respiration

* Fermentation

22
Q

What are obligate aerobes?

A

•Constant supply

23
Q

What are obligate anaerobes?

24
Q

What are facultative anaerobes?

A

•With or Without

25
What happens during fermentation?
•Energy release without O2
26
What are decomposers?
•Get nutrients from eating dead
27
What are parasites?
•Get nutrients from eating off living
28
What are the ways of bacteria reproduction?
1) Binary Fission 2) Conjugation 3) Spore Formation
29
Binary Fission
* Big divide into 2 daughter cells | * E.Coli
30
Conjugation (Sex)
•Pilus sends genes to one from a donor
31
Spore Formation
* Unfavorable * Creates an endospore (close off DNA & Cytoplast) * New when better
32
Antiseptics
•Mouth wash
33
Disinfectants
•Sterilize
34
Antibodies
•Defence
35
Helpful Bacteria
* Food * Relationships * Decomposition * Nitrogen fixation (nitrogen to nitrates)
