23
Q

In what unique way do methanogens acquire energy?

A

They convert hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide into methand

24
Q

Where would you most likely find methanogen?

A

Lives in swamps, deep lakes, and intestines

25
Q

Halophiles have an affinity for what compound?

A

Salt

26
Q

Where would you most likely find a halophile?

A

Lives in places most bacteria cannot (I.e. great salt lake, Dead Sea)

27
Q

Where would you most likely find a thermoacidophile?

A

Lives in hot acidic environments, as low as 2 ph

28
Q

Why do some bacteria stain different colors?

A

It’s dependent on the amount of pepto present in the cell wall

29
Q

What are four features that distinguish archaea from bacteria.

A
  1. Cell wall of Archaea has no peptoglycan
  2. Cell membrane lipids of Archaea are different
  3. Bacteria does not have introns
  4. rRNA in Archaea resembles eukaryotes but different bacteria
30
Q

What are three primary groups of archaea?

A

Methanogens- methane gas
Halophiles- salt loving
Thermoacidophiles- hot acidic environments

31
Q

Where would you most likely find Thermoacidophiles?

A

Volcanoes, thermal vents

32
Q

What are three primary shapes of bacteria and their proper names?

A

Bacillus- rod shaped
Coccus- round shaped
Spirochete- spiral shaped

33
Q

What are three gram stain classifications?

A
  1. Gram positive- purple
  2. Gram negative- pink
  3. Gram variable- purple and pink because it’s a mixed nature
34
Q

What are four primary steps for Gram staining bacteria?

A
  1. Crystal violet- stains bacteria
  2. Iodine- sets
  3. Acetonel alcohol- washes it away
  4. Safranin- counter stain
35
Q

Why are nitrogen fixing bacteria important?

A

Plants can’t get it directly so they convert it into a usable nitrate.

36
Q

Why are Cyanobacteria important?

A

They are photosynthetic bacteria, produce oxygen for other materials. Also thought to be Earth’s first oxygen producers

37
Q

Where does photosynthesis take place in Cyanobacteria?

A

Takes place in thylakoids

38
Q

List the structures you would most likely find in/on a bacteria cell, and briefly explain the function of each structure.

A

1) cell wall- protection and support
2) Plasma membrane- controls what goes in and out of cell
3) DNA or nucleoid- controls cells activity
4) plasmid- extra material DNA stores
5) Ribosome- the site of protein synthesis
6) flagella- used for locomotion
7) Endospore- protective spore inside a bacterial cell
8) Capsule- protective layer of polysaccharide around cell wall
9) Pilus(pili)- protein structure that allows bacterium to attach to other bacteria
10) Glycoxalyx- sticky sugar coated on capsule

39
Q

Where does cell respiration occur in prokaryotes

A

In the plasma membrane

40
Q

What are the primary means of locomotion by bacteria?

A

Flagella, slime movement, corkscrew rotation

41
Q

What three factors determine the habitat of bacteria?

A

1) oxygen needs 2) temp. 3) ph

42
Q

What are the four nutritional groups of bacteria, and how does each obtain carbon and energy?

A

Photoheterotroph- uses light for energy gets carbon from other organisms
Chemoheterotrophs- obtains both energy and carbon from other organisms
Photoautotroph- uses light energy gets carbon from CO2 as a carbon source
Chemoautotroph- extracts energy from inorganic compounds and uses CO2 as a carbon source.

43
Q

What are three different oxygen classifications of bacteria?

A

Obligate anaerobes, obligate aerobes, facultative anaerobes

44
Q

What pH is preferred by most bacteria?

A

6.5 to 7.5

45
Q

Why are antibiotics increasing?

A

They are overprescribed, prescribed inappropriately

46
Q

Briefly explain the three processes bacteria utilize to mutate and RECOMBINE DNA?

A

Conjugation, transfiguration- DNA is taken, Transduction- involves virus

47
Q

How do antibiotics destroy bacteria?

A

Destroys cell wall, block protein synthesis, tetracycline attacks bacteria by blocking protein synthesis

48
Q

How do pathogenic bacteria become antibiotic resistant?

A

Acquire plasmid through conjugation another bacteria that carries resistant DNA

49
Q

What type of bacteria would you most likely find in the human intestine?

A

Enteric coli.

50
Q

Which bacteria causes stomach ulcers?

A

Helicoloacter pylori

51
Q

What is the habitat of actinomycetes and how are they used pharmaceutically

A

Live in soil and used to make antibiotics

52
Q

Who was the first scientist to discover that heat kills most bacteria and institute sterilization technique?

A

Louis Pastur

53
Q

Who was the scientist to discover the antibiotic properties of penicillin?

A

Alexander Fleming

54
Q

The process of using bacterial growth to break down pollutants is called?

A

Bioremediation

55
Q

Haw are bacteria used to genetically modify food?

A

Insert specific bacterial genes into geno of plants to make them pest resistant

56
Q

List several common foods that are produced by the action of bacteria

A

Yogurt, cheese, butter

57
Q

Most food borne I’ll was occur because of what?

A

Uncooked meat
