Day 36, Chapter 27, pp. 526 -- 531

 epigenetics (extra)

So, we've jumping forward again to get out of microbiology and genetics.  Will go back to genetics after this chapter.  Skipping back and forth because there is so much with genetics and DNA that you can get lost in it all and start mixing things up.

Prokaryotes -- archaea and bacteria (you may have watched this already)

bacteria shapes

prokaryotic cell walls and gram negative and positive

bacteria slime

bacteria motion and flagella and chemotaxis

taxis

spirochete motion

spirochete (includes syphilis picture)

Quiz:

1.  Use these sources to draw and label bacteria shapes;  look up the diseases caused by the bacteria in the first source.

detailed chart

simple

photo

last

binary fission

cool plasmid replication

complex plasmid video, how we make insulin

2.  What are the two domains that contain prokaryotes?  Which domain does not?

3.  Which have a thicker cell wall, gram positive or gram negative bacteria?  How do you tell which is which?

4.  Prokaryotes don't have a true n_________ enclosed with a n________ membrane.
