Anton van Leeuwenhoek
First to see what would become known as bacteria

Cell Structure Bacteria
› Are prokaryotes› No nucleus
Parts› Genetic material› Cell wall› Cell membrane› Ribosomes› Cytoplams› Flagella
![Page 4: Bacteria](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/557c73ffd8b42a61168b4cff/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Parts Genetic Material
› Located: inside the cell, but NOT in a nucleus
› Purpose: contains the DNA Cell Wall
› Located: around the outside› Purpose: protects the cell
![Page 5: Bacteria](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/557c73ffd8b42a61168b4cff/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Parts Continued … Cell Membrane
› Located: inside the Cell Wall› Purpose: controls what material enters and leaves the cell
Ribosomes› Located: in the cytoplasm› Purpose: chemical factories where proteins are made

Cytoplasm› Located: inside the cell membrane
› Purpose: gel-like material that fills the cell
Flagellum› Located: on the outside of the cell
› Purpose: helps the cell move

Sizes of Bacteria
Vary Greatly Largest: size of a period at
the end of a sentence Average: much smaller
› .5 to 1 nm

Obtaining Food
Autotrophs› Capture and use the sun’s light› Uses energy from chemicals in its surroundings
Heterotrophs› Consumes other organisms or food that other organisms make
![Page 10: Bacteria](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/557c73ffd8b42a61168b4cff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Respiration
Definition: Process of breaking down food to release the food’s energy
Most bacteria need oxygen Those that don’t need
oxygen die if oxygen is present
![Page 11: Bacteria](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/557c73ffd8b42a61168b4cff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

› Plenty of food› Right temperature› Suitable conditions
![Page 12: Bacteria](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/557c73ffd8b42a61168b4cff/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Types of Reproduction
Asexual› Definition: process involving only one parent to produce offspring that are identical to the parent
› Type: binary fission
![Page 13: Bacteria](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/557c73ffd8b42a61168b4cff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Types of Reproduction
Sexual› Definition: process involving two parents who combine their genetic material to produce a new organism which differs from both parents
› Type: conjugation
![Page 14: Bacteria](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/557c73ffd8b42a61168b4cff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Endospore Formation
Endospore› Form when conditions become unfavorable for growth
› Definition: small, round, thick-walled, resting cell that forms inside the bacterial cell Contains cell genetic material and some cytoplasm

Role of Bacteria in Nature
Increases oxygen Increases food production Helps with recycling and
environmental cleanup Helps in health maintenance
and medical production

Protecting Yourself How?
› Keep your body healthy› Eat nutritious foods› Get enough sleep› Get enough fluids› Get enough exercise› Wash your hands often› Don’t share drinks, food, or utensils
![Page 25: Bacteria](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/557c73ffd8b42a61168b4cff/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Protecting Yourself› Store food properly› Keep kitchen surfaces clean› Cook meat completely› When you get ill
Get plenty of restDon’t come to school sick
You might infect others—including me
Follow your doctors orders
