MICROORGANISMSBy Ms. Kinder www.ovpr.uga.edu/.../ sum02art/bp_1bacteria.jpg
Utah State Standards • Standard V: Students will understand that microorganisms range from simple to complex, are found almost everywhere, and are both helpful and harmful. • Objective 2: Demonstrate the skills needed to plan and conduct an experiment to determine a microorganism’s requirements in a specific environment.
Intended Learning Outcomes: • Use Science Process and Thinking Skills • Plan and conduct simple experiments. • Formulate simple research questions. • Predict results of investigations based on prior data. • Use data to construct a reasonable conclusion. www.the-ba.net
All bacteria have similar characteristics. • They are made up of a single cell with a cell wall and do not have a nucleus. • Some bacteria can make their own food, but a large majority feed on other organisms. • In addition, most bacteria need oxygen to survive. www.ou.edu/class/pheidole/ General%20Bacteria.jpg
Bacteria are so small that about 1,000 could fit on the head of a pin. www.agen.ufl.edu
BACTERIA INFORMATION • Bacteria are classified into three groups according to their shape: round (cocci), spiral (spirilla), and rod (bacilli) shape. • Some round shape bacteria can cause infections in people. • Some spiral shape bacteria are used to make cheese. • Some rod shaped bacteria have been known to cause food poisoning. aquat1.ifas.ufl.edu/ guide/bacecoli.jpg www.redcolony.com/ pics/content/bacteria.jpg io.uwinnipeg.ca/.../ 27-03c-HelicalProkaryote.jpg
There are more than 10,000 kinds of bacteria and an unknown number still waiting to be discovered. www.elements-of-design.net/
The human body has more bacteria than it has cells. An unborn baby is completely free of bacteria, but the instant they are born they acquire billions of bacteria. Bacteria are essential for a healthy body. www.pregnancy-leads-to-new-babies.com/ images/
When people become sick, they go to the doctor's office expecting a miracle cure. • Most often, the best advice often times is to go home, drink lots of fluids and rest. • There is no medication available to combat a viral infection. • As a result, antibiotics are becoming overprescribed and misused. Over time, the microbes will become resistant and the antibiotics will become totally ineffective. web.princeton.edu www.medem.com/MEDEM/ images/
