16
Q

Heterotrophic

A

Organism that takes in food.

17
Q

Autotrophic: Photosynthetic

A

Make food using light energy eg. Purple sulfur bacteria.

18
Q

Autotrophic: Chemosynthetic

A

Make food by converting chemicals eg nitrifying bacteria

19
Q

Heterotrophic: Saprophytic

A

Feed on dead matter. Eg bacteria of decay.

20
Q

Heterotrophic : Parasitic

A

Take food from live host with harm.eg pneumonia.

21
Q

Obligate aerobes

A

Must have oxygen for respiration

22
Q

Facultative aerobes

A

Can respire with or without oxygen.

23
Q

Lag phase

A

Numbers: do not change.
Reason: Bacteria making the correct enzymes to digest the substrate they are on.

24
Q

Log phase

A

Numbers: increase rapidly.
Reason: growth conditions are ideal.

25
Q

Stationary phase

A

Numbers: Does not change.
Reason: growth conditions not ideal. Short of food, water, space.

26
Q

Decline phase

A

Numbers: fall rapidly
Reason: growth conditions not ideal.

27
Q

Survival

A

Number: small number
Reason: bacteria are dormant as spores.

28
Q

Products bacteria produce

A

Yoghurt, cheese, sweeteners

29
Q

Batch processing

A

Organisms go through all the phases of the growth curve/bioreactor emptied at the end.

30
Q

Continuous processing

A

Organisms maintained at one growth phase/nutrients constantly added/ products constantly removed.

31
Q

Beneficial bacteria

A

Make yoghurt and cheese. Make enzymes and hormones.

32
Q

Harmful bacteria

A

Causes food to decay/ causes deseases.

33
Q

Antibiotics

A

Chemicals produced by microorganisms that kill bacteria.

34
Q

Why antibiotic resistance

A

Overuse/ mutation
