Presentation Transcript

  1. Kingdom s Archaebacteria and Eubacteria

  2. Kingdom Monera • Oldest and most numerous organism on Earth • Found in every environment on Earth • Unicellular • Prokaryotic – has no nucleus or membrane bound organelles

  3. Monerans – Two Kingdoms • Kingdom Monera is now divided into two different Kingdoms due to differences in RNA • Kingdom Archebacteria • Kingdom Eubacteria

  4. Kingdom Eubacteria • Represents most of the bacteria, thus in general are called “bacteria” • Names based on shape

  5. Shapes and Names: • Bacilli – Rod Shaped • Cocci – Sphere Shaped • Spirilla – Spiral Shaped

  6. Chains and Clusters of Cocci: • Chains of Cocci – Streptococci • Grape like clusters of Cocci – Staphylococci

  7. Kingdom Archaebacteria: • RNA structure and synthesis very different to bacteria, closer to eukaryotic (nuclei based organisms) • Typically found in the most extreme of environments (high heat, low nutrients, no light)

  8. Bacteria Structure: • All are prokaryotic • All have cell walls • Can move by cilia, flagellum, or lots of flagellum

  9. Bacteria & Humans • Bacteria can be harmful to the body because it either produces toxins or destroys body tissues • Antibiotics kill some bacteria, but the ones that survive could potential build a population of antibiotic resistant bacteria
