| Bacterial Cell | Prokaryotes, • Bacterial Cells ARE LIVING because they use energy they get from their food, grow and develop, respond to their environment, (likes darkness, warmth, and water) and reproduce |
| Bacterial Cell Shapes: | rod-like, spherical, and spiral shaped |
| Cell Structure | Cell membranes on inside edge of wall. Controls materials in and out of the cell... • Thick, cell wall around it which is used for protection (WE HAVE CELL MEMBRANES... NOT CELL WALLS) |
| Cytoplasm | A gel-like material that controls cell structure |
| Two Kingdoms of Bacteria | Archaebacteria and Eubacteria |
| Archaebacteria | means "ancient bacteria" |
| Archaebacteria | - resemble Earth's environments and can live in ANY water and EXTREME environments |
| Eubacteria | do NOT resemble Earth's environments |
| Asexual reproduction in Bacterial Cells | Splits right in half and now has an IDENTICAL twin.. Have only one parent. |
| Sexual Reproduction in Bacteria Cells | Now produces a bacterial cell that is SIMALLAR to their parents but not IDENTICAL twin.. Has two 2 (2) parents |
| Bacteria | Involved in fuel and food production, environmental recycling and cleanup, and the production of medication |
| Bacteria | Decomposers are organisms (including SOME bacteria) that break down large chemicals in dead organisms, small chemicals. Decomposers are "nature's recyclers." |
| Bacteria | Same bacteria help us in digest. Make vitamins in your body, and process harmless bacteria from catering your body. |
| Endospore formation | small, rounded, thick walled, resting cell that forms inside a bacterial cell. Contains genetic material. Can last for a long time until it is able to reproduce. |
| Respiration | process of breaking down food to release energy. Most need oxygen for this, but not all. |
| Obtaining Food | autotrophs and heterotrophs |
