Your friend believes that prokaryotes are always detrimental and pathogenic. How would you explain to them that they are wrong? Support your answer with 2 examples? 2. Many people use antimicrobial soap to kill bacteria on their hands. However, overuse may increase the risk of infection. How could this occur? Give at least 2 examples (names) of prokaryotes that we can find in the Dead Sea? . Give other examples (at least 3) of uniquely hostile environments? . What domain of living organisms dominates such environments?

Your friend Jim Crackcorn has developed a new antibiotic that damages the integrity of the cell wall by breaking down peptidoglycan. Jim tells you that he predicts that gram positive bacteria, gram negative bacteria and archaeal cells will be equally sensitive to this antibiotic. Do you agree with Jim’s prediction? If you agree, explain in your own words why you agree. If you disagree, explain in your own words what you would predict and why.
Ana wants to engineer a super archaea which can survive and thrive in extremely hot and hypersaline water. What characteristics should she use to achieve the organism? Provide at least 3 and justify your answer.
Consumers are advised to avoid stuffing a turkey the night before cooking (where the stuffing would be made on the stove and then placed in the turkey), even though the turkey is refrigerated. A homemaker questions this advice and points out that the bacteria of human disease grow mainly at warm temperatures, not in the refrigerator. What explanation might you offer to counter this argument?
1. What component of bacterial cells helps to combat/regulate osmotic forces? 2. What are Koch’s postulates? What are they used for? 3. Explain the process of endospore formation in endospore-producing organisms. 4. What are the major components of the bacterial & eukaryotic cell? 5. What is/are a pilus/pili and what do microbes use them for? 6. What is the prokaryotic flagellum made up of?
Many of the first prokaryotes to be cultured in a scientific lab were human or animal pathogens. Why would these species be more readily cultured than non-pathogenic prokaryotes? a. Pathogenic prokaryotes are hardier than nonpathogenic prokaryotes. b. Non-pathogenic prokaryotes require more supplements in their growth media. c. Most of the necessary culture conditions could be inferred for pathogenic prokaryotes. d. Pathogenic bacteria can grow as free bacteria, but non-pathogenic bacteria only grow as parts of large colonies.
Prokaryotes are all around us. What experiment can be Developed to visualize these microbes from an environmental sample.
IS IT A FACT OR A BLUFF? 1. Bacterial genetic material is composed single stranded DNA as compared to human DNA which is double stranded. 2. Just like humans, all microbes need oxygen to grow and reproduce. 3. There are no living microbes in volcanic vent and in hot spring because microbes die at very high temperature. 4. Most bacteria growth is retarded at low temperature. 5. Bacterial ATP production happens in the mitochondria which is the powerhouse of the cell. After identifying your answer whether fact or bluff, you need to give justification to your answer. You Justification should be given in not more that 50 words.
