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
