Bacteria
Nitrogen fixing bacteria are used for
Live as nodules (lumps) on roots of many plants. Breath nitrogen and turn it into a usable form to make DNA and protiens
All bacteria are
Microscopic
What two kingdoms do bacteria fall in
kingdom Eubacteria and Kingdom Archeabacteria
Common diseases caused by Bacteria
strep throat, infections in wounds, and Bacterial Meningitis
Bacteria make energy by the process of
Fermentation
Kingdom Archeabacteria are considered to be the
Advanced prokaryotics
How do bacteria reproduce
Asexually
Are bacteria Autotroph or Heterotroph
Bacteria are both. Some species of bacteria can photosynthesize while others must consume their own food.
Where do bacteria live
Bacteria live everywhere. In lava, the ocean and even in human mouths.
What two domains do the Bacteria fall in
Domain Bacteria and Domain Archae
Where do bacteria in Kingdom Eubacteria live
Everywhere on earth
Flagella are used to
Move the cell
Do Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus
No Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus
Can all bacteria move
No not all, bacteria have flagella allowing them to move
is HIV caused by bacteria
No, HIV is a virus
What type of cell are bacteria
Prokaryotic
Ribosomes are used for
Protien synthesis. also called rRNA
What two different ways have Bacteria evolved over time
Simple Prokaryotes and Advanched Prokaryotes
Kingdom Eubacteria are considered to be the
Simple prokaryotics
Are bacteria single celled or multiple celled organisms
Single celled
Where do bacteria in kingdom Archaebacteria live
Strange places: Lava, Dead Sea, intestines of animals
Are Bacteria alive
Yes
Was the Bubonic Plague(black plague) caused by bacteria
Yes
Do Prokaryotic cells have DNA
Yes Procaryotic cells have DNA
Do Prokaryotic cells have ribosomes
Yes Prokaryotic cells have ribosomes
Do bacteria have plasmids
Yes bacteria do have plasmids. They can be used to make human insulin due to genetic engineering.
Can bacteria cause disease
Yes certain types of bacteria can cause disease, others don't
Define a Bacterium
a member of a large group of unicellular microorganisms that have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized nucleus, including some that can cause disease.
Fermentation is the same thing as
anaerobic respiration
Uses for bacteria include
~mixing milk and specific bacteria make cheese ~Making beer, wine, liquor, and other foods ~Make insulin for human diabetics
