“Pre-Lab Questions”

1. What determines if a bacterial cell is Gram-positive or Gram-negative?

Gram-positive bacteria have a thick peptidoglycan layer and no outer lipid

membrane while gram-negative bacteria have a thin peptidoglycan layer

and have an outer lipid membrane.

2. In this lab, both viruses and prions were introduced as acellular organisms. Do some research

and describe one other type of acellular organism. What characteristics about this organism

classify it as acellular?

Viroids are the tiniest pathogens consisting of just a single strand of RNA

and no protein covering. Just like prions and viruses, viroids are

categorized as cellular as they lack all of the necessary properties of a live

cell. Viroids can’t proliferate without a host and they can’t survive for long

without a host.

3. Bacteria have many different shapes that often determine their class. Research and form a

hypothesis on the evolutionary reasons for so many different bacterial morphologies.

Just like every other microbe, bacteria respond to their surroundings by

growing and adapting. I studied and had some thoughts about why bacteria

have different shapes that distinguish what class they belong to. I

developed this hypothesis; Bacterial morphologies exist because an

Option 2: Environment, Resources, and Competition Presentation Prepare a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft®PowerPoint® presentation that answers the following questions: What are the major characteristics of the environment of the chosen ecosystem? How do these characteristics affect the animals, plants, and their resources living in the environment? Review the temperature and precipitation data. From the data, what can you determine about the role of precipitation and temperature in biomes? Review the Intraspecific Competition data. How is the predator community affected by low numbers of prey? How do high numbers of predators affect the prey community? What are some possible effects on other species? Review the Interspecific Competition data, what behavioral data might be inferred from this graph? What factors might be responsible for the success of the older mothers’ offspring? Propose a scenario that might explain the data recorded. How might interspecific competition affect the reproductive success? What implications can you infer from the three graphs about the relationship between plants and animals? Present the Environment, Resources, and Competition Presentation. For Local Campus students, these are 5- to 10- minute oral presentations accompanied by Microsoft® PowerPoint®presentations. For Online and Directed Study students, these are Microsoft® PowerPoint®presentations with notes.
