Cell division for reproduction • Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent • Eukaryotes asexually reproduce via MITOSIS • Prokaryotes asexually reproduce via BINARY FISSION
Cell division for reproduction • Asexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent • Eukaryotes asexually reproduce via MITOSIS • Prokaryotes asexually reproduce via BINARY FISSION
Cell division for reproduction • Sexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically unique • 2 (or more) parent cells combining their genes • Both eukaryotes AND prokaryotes reproduce sexually
pg. 194 - 197 Bacteria & Archaebacteria(we’ll generalize and call both ‘bacteria’)
Characteristics of bacteria... • Prokaryotic • no nucleus • Unicellular (sometimes stick together) • Single, circular chromosome • Reproduce asexually and sexually
Characteristics of bacteria... • Very first organisms on Earth • Live on virtually every surface (including dust motes) • Thrive in moist environments • <1% are harmful to humans
Eubacteria vs Archaebacteria EUBACTERIA • Rigid shape • Easily the most common (hundreds of thousands of species at least!) • Evolved from archaebacteria • Examples • Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Salmonella
Eubacteria vs Archaebacteria ARCHAEBACTERIA • Live in extreme environments(extremophiles) • 1st life on Earth • Examples • Thermus aquaticus, Sulfolobus sulfataricus, Halobacterium salinarum, Methanobrevibacter smithii
Extremophiles Archaebacteria thrive in harsh conditions... Thermophiles • live in hot springs and deep sea vents (>100ºC)
Extremophiles Archaebacteria thrive in harsh conditions... Acidophiles • live in extremely low pH environments (<pH 2)
Extremophiles Archaebacteria thrive in harsh conditions... Halophiles • live in extremely salty environments
Bacterial anatomy Cell
Bacterial anatomy • Nucleoid – region where circular DNA resides • Pili – used for sexual reproduction
Bacteria are important because... • They help us live (digestion, protection, etc.)
Bacteria are important because... • Useful for molecular/genetic technologies
Bacteria are important because... • Provide insight into the history of life on Earth
Bacteria are important because... • Decompose dead things/clean up spills
Bacteria are important because... • Nitrogen fixation in plants
Bacteria are important because... • Reasons we don’t even know yet...
