Bacteria

Today we watched a video about Bacteria and filled in some notes about them. Then we recorded a few characteristics for each phylum (group) of Bacteria in a chart. We looked at our Virus quiz marks and finished by doing an in-class assignment of finding definitions for the following words found in Ch. 17-2:

1. phototrophic autotrophs
2. chemotrophic autotrophs
3. chemotrophic heterotrophs
4. phototrophic heterotrophs
5. obligate aerobes
6. obligate anaerobes
7. facultative anaerobes
8. binary fission
9. conjugation
10. endospore
11. symbiosis
12. saprophytes
13. nitrogen fixation

Homework: Read Sec. 17-2 (p. 363-372) and do questions # 3-5
