unit 1 test Flashcards
Where does archaebacteria live
in extreme environments, that lack 
oxygen
how many types of archae
bacteria are there?
Three
what are the three types of archaebacteria?
Thermacidophiles, halophiles, and methanogens
where do thermacidophiles live
Hot and acidic places like volcanic vent and hot Sulphur Springs
where does halophiles live
And places with high salt concentration, like the great Salt Lake and the Dead Sea
where do methanogens live?
And places with high oxygen, such as manure 
What are the four things eubacteria needs to survive
A food source, moisture, warm, temperature, and a dark environment
what type of infections do antibiotics treat?
Bacterial infections
What type of cell wall does a bacterial infection have
A carbohydrate based cell wall
what happens when the antibiotics poke holes in the cell wall?
The bacteria infection cannot maintain homeostasis
Why don’t antibiotics work on viruses
Because of virus has a caps it as the outer layer that has made out of protein
do antibiotics lose effectiveness overtime
Yes
how many types of arrangements are in bacteria?
Four
What are the four arrangements?
singular, Diplo, Strepto, and staphylo
How many different shapes are there?
Three
what are the three shapes
coccus, bacillus, Spirillum
what are two reasons why bacteria are so successful?
Reproductive rate and endospore
why does bacteria have such a high reproductive rate?
Because they are few organelles and small amount of DNA
what are the two ways that bacteria can reproduce?
Binary fission and conjunction
what is binary fission?
asexual reproduction that creates two identical cells
What is conjunction?
Sexual reproduction that creates genetically diverse cells
What is an endospore?
A bacterial survival technique that allows them to survive an extreme conditions for 100+ years
what are three ways to kill bacteria?
Pasteurization, canning, dehydration
What is pasteurization?
Uses heat to kill bacteria
what is canning?
Uses heat, a seal, and lack of oxygen to kill bacteria
what is dehydration?
Removes moisture to kill bacteria
what is in common with antiseptics and disinfectants
They both kill bacteria
what services are anti-septic’s used on?
Biotic surfaces
what services are disinfectants used on?
Abiotic surfaces
Are antiseptics or disinfectants more effective
Disinfectants
what does it mean if the stain is purple?
It is gram-positive
what does it mean if the stain is pink or red?
It is Gram negative
