Transcript Virus , Bacteria , and Fungi

Virus, Bacteria,
Protists, and Fungi
Chapters 19-21
What a virus is… and
isn’t.

A virus is not a cell.
– No nucleus, cell membrane, ribosomes,
mitochondria, chloroplasts, etc.

A virus is very small.
– 3000 poloviruses could be contained in the
period at the end of this sentence.

A virus is not complex.
– Genes: Humans (100,000), Bacteria (1000), a
Virus… just 5!
Viral Structure

Nucleic Acid
– DNA or RNA, but not both.

Protein Coat (capsid)
– Protects the nucleic acid from its environment.

Envelope
– Only found in viruses that infect animals.
– Spike-like projections that recognize animal cells
and bind to the cell surface.

Viral Replication




Viruses don’t reproduce, they replicate.
Viruses cannot replicate on their own.
Host cells.
Lytic Cycle.
– When the virus enters the cell it immediately begins to
replicate, rapidly killing the cell.

Lysogenic Cycle.
– Viral DNA is inserted into the host cell’s DNA. This DNA,
called a PROPHAGE, may be reproduced several times
and eventually reactivates.
Lytic and Lysogenic Infections
Are viruses alive?

Properties of Life:
– Highly organized. Yes or no?
– Use energy. Yes or no?
– Grow and develop. Yes or no?
– Reproduce. Yes or no?
– Respond and adapt. Yes or no?

Most scientists would say… NO.

What are vaccinations?

The process of injecting a person with
a harmless (weakened or dead) form
of a virus to stimulate the immune
system to produce cells and proteins
that will destroy that type of virus.

Survival/Reproduction

Binary Fission: the process by which bacteria

replicate chromosomes and the cell divides.
Power of doubling (1 penny doubled 20 times)
1048576 cents or $10,485.76
Average bacteria doubles every 15-20 minutes

Endospores


– Thick-walled reproductive structures that can
resist heat, drought, and radiation,
sometimes living centuries before breaking
open.
Classifying Bacteria

Archaebacteria (“ancient”)
– Methanogens: produce methane.
– Thermophiles: heated conditions
– Halophiles: salty conditions

Eubacteria
– “True Bacteria” – live in much less harsh
environments than archebacteria. Many types and
ways to classify.
Classifying Bacteria, cont.

Shapes
– Spheres (cocci), rods (bacilli), spirals
(spirilla), chains (streptococci), clusters
(staphylococci).

Cell Wall Composition
– Gram-positive, Gram-negative.


Nutrition (autotroph, heterotroph)
Respiration (aerobes, anaerobes)
The Roles of Bacteria

Decomposers.
– Breakdown dead material.
– Convert (fix) nitrogen into usable forms for
plants.

Symbiosis.
– “You scratch my back – I’ll scratch yours.”

Bacteria can be harmful.
– Slides of deadly bacteria.

– Plantlike Protists (p. 358-361)
– Funguslike Protists (p. 362-364)

Fungi

3 Common characteristics:
– Cell wall are chitin. Same covering as
insects.
– Made of individual filaments, called
hyphae. Tubes full of cytoplasm and
nuclei.
– Masses of hyphae combine to form the
mycelium. This is the body of the fungus.

How does a fungus eat?


Heterotrophs
Diffusion: most fungi absorb small organic
nutrients from their environment.

Saprophytic: they absorb nutrients from
dead or decaying organic matter.
