| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is the Job of the Flagellum? | Movement of the cell |
| Are Monerans (which are Prokaryotes) simple or complicated organisms? Why? | Simple because they have no neculus |
| What are the 4 characteristics of Monerans? | 1. Prokaryotic 2. Unicellular 3. Some move 4. auto and hetertropic |
| Spirillum | spirally twisted bacteria |
| Name 3 ways that bacteria is used in biotechnology/industry? | Lubricant, enzyms, cleaners |
| Why does the Red Sea appear red? | because of the large amounts of Cyanobacteria in the water |
| All species of Cyanobacteria are what type of organism? | one-celled/single-celled |
| Coccus | A spherical bacterium |
| Flagellum | a long lashlike appendage used for movement |
| What are cyanobacteria? | monerans that are producers |
| Aerobe | a bacterium that requires air |
| What is an antibiotic? | a substance created by one organism that kills another |
| Pathogen | any disease producing agent (virusetc.) |
| Heterotroph | any organism requiring organic components |
| Prokaryote | any cwllular organism that has no nuclear membrane |
| A bloom of cyanobacteria is produced when what happens? | large amounts of nutrients enter a pond (or lake) |
| Endospore | the inner coat of a spore-protective covering |
| What are the 3 main shapes of bacteria? | 1. Sphere shape (cocci) 2. Rod-shaped (bacilli) 3. Spiral-shaped (spirilla) |
| Can you tell the shape of the bacteria from its name? | Yes |
| What shape is the anthrax bacillus? | a rod |
| What shape bacteria is streptococcus? | sphere (cause of strept throat) |
| why do we need saprophytes? | they digest dead things and recycle nutriants |
| some cyanobacteria live together in large chains also known as what? | Filaments |
| What are nitrogen fixing bacteria? | They change nitrogen from air into forms useful for plants and animals |
| What is a vaccine? | damaged particles from bacteria |
| how do nitrogen fixing bacteria benifit plants and animals? | The plants use the nitrogen and animals use it as fertilizer |
| What colors can cyanobacteria be? | blue, green, red, yellow,or black |
| Fission | The act of splitting into parts |
| Anaerobe | an organism that doesn't require air |
| Bacillus | any rod shaped bacterium |
| Autotrope | any organism capable of self-nourishment |
| Why are cyanobacteria important? | they make food in lakes and ponds |
| What is an aerobe? | an organism that requires oxygen for resperation |
| What is an anaerobe? | An organism that doesn't require oxygen for resperation |
| How does sexual reproduction in Monerans allow for bacteria to continuously change? | in sexual reproduction a Moneran could exchange DNA with a different cell type |
| Some Monera are pathogens, which means what? | it means they cause disease |
| What are 2 examples of Pathogens? | Strept Throat and Tetanus |
| Unicellular | Any bacteria with one cell |
| How does a vaccine work? | it introduces a weaker form of the disease which builds up your immunity to said disease |
| What is a toxin? | a posion that produces endospores |
| Toxins produce endospores that surround them for protection. How does the endospore protect toxins? | With their thick walls |
| Capsule | allows to stick on other substances |
| Saprophytes | Any organism that lives on dead organic matter |
| Why is a bloom bad? | it kills cyanobacteria |
| What are the 2 parts the Kingdom Monera is split into? | Bacteria and Viruses |
| What is the job of a capsule? | Help the bacteria to stick |
| A moneran is a saprohyte, which means what? | it means that it uses dead material for food |
| In which process (sexual of asexual) is the offspring identical to the original? | asexual |
| How do bacteria sexually reproduce? | two bacteria move beside each other and exchange DNA through a fine tube |
| What does fission produce? | Two cells with the same genetic makeups |
