monera (bacteria) Flashcards
micro organisms
small living things that can be seen individually
structure of bacteria x3
- surrounded by cell membrane
- has mesosomes
- cell wall made of sugars and protein
bacterial types x3
- rod
- round
- spiral
binary fission
- asexual reproduction
- organism duplicates
- then divides with each having a copy of the dan
autotrophs + definition
makes own food
photosynthetic (have chlorophyll)
chemosynthetic (use energy)
heterotrophs + definiton
takes in food
saprophytes (dead)
parasite (live)
factors affecting growth x5
- temp (20-30)
- oxygen
- ph (7)
- external solutes con ( ex ^ water move out )
- high pressure
benefits of bacteria
lactobacillus (milk) e coli (insulin)
disadvantage of bacteria
food poison
definition of antibiotics
chemicals produced by micro organisms that stop growth / kill other m-o w/o damaging human tissue
disadvantage of antibiotics
abuse leads to antibiotic resistant bacteria
growth curve x5
lag (adapt) log (reproduce) stationary (slow growth) decline (death) death/survival (not all die)
batch culture
fixed amt of sterile nutrients added at the beginning to m-o as bioreactor . nutrients are used up and products are formed (short)
continuous flow culture
nutrients are constantly fed to bioreactor at same time culture medium is withdrawn (long)
