Bacteria Prokaryotic & Eukaryotic Cells 1-7.Bacteria cells reproduce ASEXUALLY BY BINARY FISSION. Asexually means the offspring comes from one parent Draw what Binary Fission of a bacteria looks like: 8. Label the parts of this prokaryotic cell. [pic] 9. Name several structures that are found in eukaryotic‚ but NOT prokaryotic cells. 10. What type of cells are the most numerous on Earth? 11. What are the most common type of prokaryotic cells? 12. How old are the earliest

Soil Microbe Lab Antibiotics are chemicals produced by substances that kill or inhibit the growth of bacterial cells (Hurney et al 2013). These microbes‚ such as bacteria found in the soil‚ may seem like they would be harmful to the human body because they attack cells‚ however they are very efficient at only attacking the bacterial cells. Actinomycetes are one of the more common groups of these soil microbes known to produce antibiotics. Antibiotics work because they target specific aspects

the bacteria are unable to convert squalane into squalene for use in the hopanoid biosynthesis pathway. Another possibility is that the bacteria are using other materials than squalane as a preferred substrate in this pathway‚ as they would require less energy to convert into the necessary compounds. Despite the lack of temperature-dependent effects‚ the consistent significant increase in growth in samples treated with squalane indicates that this compound provides some benefit to the bacteria.

“spreading” the bacteria on a nutrient growth media in a specific manner as demonstrated in the lab tonight. In this lab we will be learning two methods to accomplish this task‚ the quadrant streak and the T streak. 1. Quadrant streak 2. T streak [pic] Lab exercise: Following the demonstration of both of these isolation techniques‚ it is your job to see how well you can repeat the procedure‚ and get isolated colonies of bacteria.

research involved the occurrence of genetic transformation in bacteria (E. Coli). More specifically‚ a previously prepared pGLO plasmid--which consisted of the gene to be cloned--was used to transform non-pathogenic bacteria. The pGLO plasmid contained a gene for the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) from a bioluminescent jellyfish and a gene for resistance to ampicillin‚ an antibiotic. Essentially‚ we wanted to determine the conditions of the bacteria that would glow. Our hypothesis was that the transformed

are capable of inhibiting or killing the bacteria. Antibiotics have enabled the effective treatment of infections including life threatening diseases ranging from respiratory diseases to sexually transmitted diseases (Rang et al.‚2007). An antibiotic acts by either limiting or stopping the growth of bacteria. It accomplishes this by probably interfering with the cell wall of the bacteria while having minimal effect on the normal body cells. Classifying bacteria into classes helps in identifying the

Are Viruses Alive? 1. Describe how a virus differs from bacteria. Most Viruses are harmful and their only purpose is to invade a host cell‚ reproduce and destroy the host cell in the process. Close to 99% of bacteria are beneficial with only a few that cause diseases. Life on earth could not exist without bacteria. Bacteria produce nearly half of the oxygen found in the atmosphere. Viruses have no cells‚ nucleus‚ cytoplasm or cell membrane. Viruses consist of tiny particles of nucleic acid

infected with the S bacteria grew sick‚ and died‚ while mice infected with the R bacteria were not harmed. To determine whether the capsule on the S bacteria were causing the mice to die‚ Griffith injected the mice with dead S bacteria. The mice remained healthy. Griffith then prepared a vaccine of weakened S bacteria by raising their temperature to a point at which the bacteria were “heat-killed” meaning that they could no longer reproduce ( the capsule remained on the bacteria). When Griffith
