BACTERIA & PROTISTS Kingdoms Monera & Protista
BACTERIA Kingdom Monera
BACTERIA • Prokaryotic (no nucleus) • Unicellular (one cell) • Mostly heterotrophic (cannot make own food)
Two Kingdoms of Bacteria: (Based on differences in structure ofDNA, cell wall and cell membrane) EubacteriaArchaebacteria
ARCHAEBACTERIA “Archae” Means Ancient Live in extreme conditions such as hot springs, salty water, digestive tracts of animals
EUBACTERIA • “Eu” (True) • Live almost everywhere • Fresh and salt water • Land • In organisms • (includinghumans!) E.coli
Types of Movement MOVEMENT: • Flagella • Glide on slime • Wiggle • None
REPRODUCTION • Asexual:Binary fission (dividing in half)
Sexual Reproduction:Conjugation (the exchange of genetic material) Hollow bridge forms between 2 cells and the genes move from one cell to another
SPORE FORMATIONoccurs when growth conditions become unfavorable. Endospores:protect genetic material until environment is favorable for reproduction. Makes it possible for bacterium to survive conditions (such as extreme heat, dryness, lack of nutrients) for months to years.
ROLES OF BACTERIA • Symbiotic relationship– E.coli in the intestines aid in digestion in exchange for food and a warm home.
Recycle Chemicals • Decomposers • Oil-eating bacteria • Break-down raw sewage • Nitrogen-fixation:change nitrogen to a form that producers can use to make protein.
Many fermented foods are produced with the help of bacteria. • Cheese • Buttermilk • Sour cream • Vinegar • Pickles • Sauerkraut • Sourdough bread • Yogurt BUTTERMILK
PATHOGENS:Disease-causing Agents • Bacteria cause disease in 2 ways: • Damage cells • Release toxins (poisons) Acne Anthrax
Control • Antibiotics:medicines that stop bacterial growth • Sterilization: heat or disinfectant • Cook food all the way Prevention=vaccines
PROTISTS FACTS • Eukaryotic (have a nucleus) • Most Unicellular • Three types of Protists: • Animal-like (Protozoans) • Plant-like (Algae) • Fungus-like (Molds)
ANIMAL-LIKE PROTISTS • (Protozoans) • classified by method of movement Contractile vacuole Pseudopods Nucleus Food vacuole • extend lobes of cytoplasm called Pseudopods • (“false feet”). Example: Amoeba
2. Flagella (whip-like structures). Ex.: Trichonympha (lives in termites, helps it digest cellulose).
3. Cilia (short hair-like projections) Trichocysts Oral groove Lysosomes Gullet Anal pore Contractile vacuole Micronucleus Macronucleus Food vacuoles Cilia • Ex.: Paramecium • reproduce by binary fission (asexually) or conjugation (sexually)
4. no structure for movement Ex.:PLASMODIUM (causesmalaria, transmitted by mosquitoes).
PLANT-LIKE PROTISTS - (Algae) A. Classified as Uni- or Multicellular B. Classified by color 1. Unicellular:red Example: Gonyaulaxcauses Red Tide
2. Unicellular:yellow Ex.:Golden algae (store surplus energy in the form of oil, important in formation of petroleum deposits) 3. Unicellular:glass-like Ex.:Diatoms (used in polishing compounds and toothpaste).
4. Unicellular:Green Chloroplast Carbohydrate storage bodies Pellicle Contractilevacuole Nucleus Flagella Eyespot Ex.Euglena flagellum for movement eyespot to locate light. chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
Multicellular:Red,GreenorBrown Ex.Coralline algae, Spirogyra, Kelp (specialized structures like plants, but no true tissues.)
FUNGUS-LIKE PROTISTS(Molds) Unicellular, but have many nuclei Ex.: Slime Mold
Disease Causing Protists Trypanosoma- carried by the tsetse fly causing African sleeping sickness whichaffects theCentral Nervous System.
Disease Causing Protists Red Tide- reproduce rapidly and cause toxins that can paralyze humans and animals. Live in shellfish (crab, oysters).
SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS Parasitism- occurs when one organism derives its nourishment while causing injury to its host. Example Fleas on a dog.
Mutualism - both organisms benefit. . Ex.:Trichonympha helps the termite digest cellulose and live.
Commensalism - when one organism gains some benefit while the other suffers no serious disadvantage. Ex: Sharks and Pilot Fish
