EL SCRIBE DE POST

HELLO! And welcome to today’s scribe post, it is 10/27/2010, and is currently windy with a high chance of thunderstorms, so strap on those ponchos Chicago!

Today in class, we went over the Disease of the Day, and we watched a couple of videos regarding Anthrax and various other germs, and a news report on Cholera. The video for the Cholera “out-break” can be found here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anFi_jYIRZE. We also took notes on Cholera, which was our Disease of the Day, and it included different types of shapes of germs, Archaebacteria, and Eubacteria. Mr. Paek also called us Bacteria >:{ .

To learn more about the notes we took, we were handed out a paper of all the slides of the day. I have taken the liberty to scan and insert the image into the post (yay!).SORRY, MY SCANNER WON'T WORK.

Eubacteria:

Exists almost everywhere, and is a new bacteriophage. They have cell walls made of peptidoglycan.

Archaebacteria:

Old bacteria cells that are virtually dead and useless, some-what rare.

Shapes of Cells:

Bacilli (rod shaped)

Cocci (spherical)

Spirrila (spirally)

How do bacteria get energy?

-Some bacteria are heterotrophs (energy from inorganic molecules)

-Some bacteria are Autotrophs (Make own food)

-Some bacteria are Photoautotroph (Uses sun)

Metabolism

-Respiration

-Obligate Aerobes – Organisms that require oxygen

-Obligate Aenorobes – Organisms that do not require oxygen

-Faccutive Aenorobes – Organisms that can survive without oxygen

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT CHOLERA:

-Bacteria

-While infected, you die from severe diarrhea, which induces very severe dehydration

-Transmitted through food

-Targets intestines

-Treat bacterial disease with anti-biotics

On another note, the Quiz is tomorrow, and it is on the text book assignment, and that is our homework for the night. Also, some student in our class has a younger brother who gets repetitive constipation. We are all here for his support.
