b) Variety of living organisms
Bacteria: These are microscopic single-celled organisms; they have a cell
wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm and plasmids; they lack a nucleus but
contain a circular chromosome of DNA; some bacteria can carry out
photosynthesis but most feed off other living or dead organisms
Examples include Lactobacillus bulgaricus, a rod-shaped bacterium used in
the production of yoghurt from milk, and Pneumococcus, a spherical
bacterium that acts as the pathogen causing pneumonia
Protoctists: These are microscopic single-celled organisms. Some, like
Amoeba, that live in pond water, have features like an animal cell, while
others, like Chlorella, have chloroplasts and are more like plants. A
pathogenic example is Plasmodium, responsible for causing malaria
Viruses: These are small particles, smaller than bacteria; they are parasitic
and can reproduce only inside living cells; they infect every type of living
organism. They have a wide variety of shapes and sizes; they have no cellular
structure but have a protein coat and contain one type of nucleic acid, either
DNA or RNA Examples include the tobacco mosaic virus that causes
discolouring of the leaves of tobacco plants by preventing the formation of
chloroplasts, the influenza virus that causes ‘flu’ and the HIV virus that
causes AIDS
1.3 recall the term ‘pathogen’ and know that pathogens may be fungi,
bacteria, protoctists or viruses.

plant or even another
microorganism.

Singular = bacterium

Very small
organisms, rarely
more than 0.01mm in

Nutrition – a few species
of bacteria are able to
photosynthesise and make
their own food.
The majority live on their
food – they release
enzymes which digest the
food and then they absorb
the liquid products back
into the cell. 它们释放消化食
物的酶,然后将液体产物吸收
回细胞中
extracellular digestion
= 细胞外消化
Physiology of bacteria
Streptococcus
Reproduction – bacteria
reproduce asexually by a
process called binary
fission 二分裂. One cell
divides into two, then two
into four, and so on. This
can happen every twenty
minutes. If this were to
occur, then after 12 hours
there would be
34,359,738,368 bacteria
formed from a single cell!

  • 2. Content Section 1 The nature and variety of living organisms a) Characteristics of living organisms b) Variety of living organisms
  • 3. Content Lesson 3 b) Variety of living organisms b) Variety of living organisms Bacteria: These are microscopic single-celled organisms; they have a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm and plasmids; they lack a nucleus but contain a circular chromosome of DNA; some bacteria can carry out photosynthesis but most feed off other living or dead organisms Examples include Lactobacillus bulgaricus, a rod-shaped bacterium used in the production of yoghurt from milk, and Pneumococcus, a spherical bacterium that acts as the pathogen causing pneumonia Protoctists: These are microscopic single-celled organisms. Some, like Amoeba, that live in pond water, have features like an animal cell, while others, like Chlorella, have chloroplasts and are more like plants. A pathogenic example is Plasmodium, responsible for causing malaria Viruses: These are small particles, smaller than bacteria; they are parasitic and can reproduce only inside living cells; they infect every type of living organism. They have a wide variety of shapes and sizes; they have no cellular structure but have a protein coat and contain one type of nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA Examples include the tobacco mosaic virus that causes discolouring of the leaves of tobacco plants by preventing the formation of chloroplasts, the influenza virus that causes ‘flu’ and the HIV virus that causes AIDS 1.3 recall the term ‘pathogen’ and know that pathogens may be fungi, bacteria, protoctists or viruses.

  • 20. Physiology of bacteria Streptococcus Nutrition – a few species of bacteria are able to photosynthesise and make their own food. The majority live on their food – they release enzymes which digest the food and then they absorb the liquid products back into the cell. 它们释放消化食 物的酶,然后将液体产物吸收 回细胞中 extracellular digestion = 细胞外消化
  • 21. Physiology of bacteria Streptococcus Reproduction – bacteria reproduce asexually by a process called binary fission 二分裂. One cell divides into two, then two into four, and so on. This can happen every twenty minutes. If this were to occur, then after 12 hours there would be 34,359,738,368 bacteria formed from a single cell!
