CHAPTER 16Prokaryotes and Viruses
![Page 2: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
PROKARYOTIC LIFE BEGAN ON A YOUNG EARTH
Stromatolites are composed of thin layers of sediment pressed tightly together resembling layers in an onion.
The first organisms are found in these layers.
They are called cyanobacteria.

STROMATOLITES ARE LIVING FOSSILS

HOW DID LIFE BEGIN?
There are many questions about how life began.
It is a total mystery but there are theories. The Miller-Urey experiment showed that
inorganic molecules can create organic ones. Water is boiled into steam. Methane, ammonia and hydrogen gas were
present on early Earth. Putting water vapor together with these
compounds and putting an electric charge through them makes organic compounds. Pg. 357

MILLER-UREY EXPERIMENT
![Page 6: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
HOW DID LIFE BEGIN?
Organic polymers have been made in lab conditions by dripping amino acids on hot surfaces.
The heat evaporates the water leaving behind high concentrations of amino acids bonded together.

THE RNA WORLD HYPOTHESIS
What was the original process of copying hereditary information?
DNA strands can only copy themselves with the help of enzymes but single RNA strands can copy in solutions containing nucleotides without enzymes.
This theory is called the RNA World theory. This could have been the basis for the first
replication. Experiments have shown that pre-cells or
bubbles made of lipids can form around RNA polymers in a solution.
![Page 8: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
WHERE DID LIFE BEGIN?
It is a mystery where live originated but some likely sites have been identified.
Some sites could be shallow water or moist sediments.
During Earth’s early history, the land surface may have been too hot for molecules or pre-cells to survive.
The discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents raised the possibility that energy and chemicals can from vents.
Today’s deep sea vents are populated by a huge diversity of life.
Most of this life is prokaryotic organisms.

DIVERSITY OF PROKARYOTIC LIFE
Archaea comes from the Greek word meaning ancient.
Populate the most extreme places on Earth. Many Archaea are called extremophiles
which means lovers of the extreme. Thermophiles live in boiling hot springs. Halophiles live in salt environments. Others live in volcanic lava, glaciers and
environments where no oxygen is present.
![Page 10: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ARCHAEA
![Page 11: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BACTERIA AND ARCHAEABACTERIA
Bacteria are prokaryotes that differ from Archaea in different ways.
1. There are key differences in the DNA and RNA.
2. There are differences in their types of RNA polymerases.
3. Introns are absent in bacteria but are present in some Archaea.
4. Certain antibiotics kill bacteria but have no effect on Archaea.
5. Bacterial cell walls contain peptidoglycan that is not present in Archaea or eukaryotes.
![Page 12: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF BACTERIABacteria are distinguished by shape, type of cell wall and motility type.
![Page 13: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
BACTERIA HAVE THREE SHAPES.
Cocci- spherical shapes that are sometimes formed in chains, clumps or clusters, Strep throat and pneumonia are this type
Bacilli- rod shaped such as E. coli that live in your intestines.
Spirochete- curved or spiral shape, this type causes Lyme disease
![Page 14: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CELL WALL STRUCTURENearly all bacteria have a cell wall outside their plasma membrane.
![Page 15: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
PURPLE OR PINK?
Bacteria are stained with two dyes, purple and pink to determine which antibiotics will work for each kind.
Gram positive retain the purple dye in their cell walls.
Gram negative do not retain the purple dye but retain the pink dye instead.
Some antibiotics will only work for one kind.
Gram positive
Gram negative

BACTERIAL MOTILITY Flagella- a long thin filament anchored
to the plasma membrane , may be one or many anchored all over the bacteria
Pili- shorter and thinner filaments that help bacteria stick together in clumps
NOTE: The flagella and pili are different than the kinds you will observe in eukaryotes.
![Page 17: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
BACTERIAL REPRODUCTIONAnybody good at math?
Better use a calculator!
![Page 18: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
MOST BACTERIA CAN COPY THEMSELVES EVERY 20 MINUTES!
Binary fission-DNA duplicates and moves to opposite ends of the cell, then the cell divides
This method allows quick reproduction and is much simple than mitosis.
Allows for quick passing of mutant genes. (More on this later!)
![Page 19: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
GENETIC VARIATION Since bacteria do not undergo meiosis, they do not
exchange genetic information, however, they can do other things.
Transformation occurs when some bacteria take up pieces of DNA from the environment and incorporate it into its genetic material.
In conjugation, two bacterial cells temporarily join and directly transfer genetic material between them.
Plasmids are separate rings of DNA apart from the cell’s main chromosomes.
Transduction is when viruses that infect bacteria carry their genes to another.
They are called bacteriophages. Some bacteria can survive extended periods of very hostile
conditions by forming specialized resting cells called endospores.

Modes of Nutrition Fossil evidence indicates that the photoautotrophic
mode of nutrition is very ancient. Cyanobacteria generate oxygen as a waste product of
their photosynthesis. Oxygen is toxic to many organisms. It attacks organic
compounds. Many early bacteria went extinct as the oxygen was
created by cyanobacteria. Some anaerobic bacteria or non-oxygen using
bacteria, survive in areas where oxygen did not reach. Their descendants are still alive today in oxygen-free
environments.
![Page 23: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Modes of Nutrition The rest of the organisms adapt to oxygen living. Many prokaryotes perform essential function by
breaking down or decomposing organic waste products and dead organisms.
Some species of bacteria convert nitrogen gas in the air to nitrogen compounds in the soil and water.
The converted nitrogen can be used by plants. Humans have discovered many ways of using
prokaryotes. For example, the use of organisms to remove
pollutants from water, air and soil is called bioremediation.
Genetic engineering of prokaryotes helps pharmacies create antibiotics and proteins for use in humans. Insulin is made this way.

How Bacteria Cause Illness
Bacteria and other microorganisms that cause disease are called pathogens.
Most pathogenic bacteria cause disease by producing poisons.
Some bacteria produce proteins that cause illness while others produce cell wall secretion that lead to fever, aches and shock.
![Page 25: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Defense Against Bacterial Diseases
Since the discovery of bacteria, many disease have declined.
This is due to better health and sanitation procedures.
Much of the decline is due to antibiotics.

VIRUS STRUCTURE
The structure of a virus is well suited to its function; entering a host cell and reproducing.
A virus is composed of a relatively short piece of nucleic acid DNA or RNA surround by a protein coat.
Since a virus doesn’t have its own cellular machinery, it must use the host cell’s machinery to make copies of itself.
![Page 28: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
VIRUS REPLICATION
Viruses that infect bacteria called bacteriophages reproduce in 2 ways.
In the lytic cycle, the phage attachs to the host cell and injects its DNA.
The host cell’s enzymes and synthesis machinery make copies of the viral DNA and the viral proteins.
The viral proteins and nucleic acids then assemble themselves inside the host cell making copies of the original infecting virus.
The host cell then bursts open and these offspring infect new host cells and repeat the cycle.
![Page 29: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
VIRUS REPLICATION
In the lysogenic cycle, a virus injects it genes into the host.
The viral DNA then adds itself directly to the host cell’s DNA.
Each time the host cell reproduces, the viral DNA is copied along with the host’s DNA.
Occasionally, the viral DNA separates from the host DNA and starts a lytic cycle.
New phages are made and released.

VIRUSES AND DISEASE
Some viruses use RNA as their genetic material.
Some viruses that use RNA are flu, the common cold, measles, mumps, HIV, and polio.
DNA viruses are herpes and hepatitis. The way viruses cause disease is radically
different from bacteria infections. A virus uses the equipment of a host cell to
reproduce therefore approaches to control and cure infection are different from bacterial infection controls.

HIV: A RETROVIRUS
HIV is a virus that causes AIDS. It is particularly dangerous because it attacks
our own immune system, the very thing meant to protect us.
HIV is different because it is called a retrovirus.
A retrovirus synthesizes DNA from RNA which is the opposite of what normally happens.
An HIV virus carries 2 copies of RNA instead of DNA.
The RNA then uses an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to form DNA from the RNA.
![Page 35: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
HIV: A RETROVIRUS
The DNA integrates into the host DNA and takes over.
The viral DNA can be dormant for years but occasionally it is transcribed into RNA again and new viruses are made.
While the virus is inactive, the disease symptoms are not evidence.
Only when the virus reproduces and destroys host cells does an individual get AIDS.

WHERE IN THE WORLD?
![Page 39: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
DEFENSE AGAINST VIRAL DISEASES
The immune system is critical to fighting infections and provides the basis for a major medical weapon for preventing certain viral and bacterial infections from occurring.
This weapon is called the vaccine. Vaccines are deactivated varieties or small
pieces of pathogens that stimulate the immune system to defend against the actual pathogen.
![Page 40: Viruses And Bacteria](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/55507fedb4c9051e5b8b45b9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
THE FIRST VACCINE
The first vaccine was made against the virus that causes smallpox, an often fatal disease.
Edward Jenner, a physician, discovered that milk maids who had been exposed to cowpox, a mild disease, were resistant to smallpox.
The two diseases were so similar that the immune system couldn’t tell them apart.
Jenner injected people with cowpox which then causes resistance to smallpox.
Currently, smallpox has been eradicated. NOTE: Smallpox the disease is gone but not
the virus. It’s “on ice” in a lab somewhere.
