Bacteria

Summary: Bacteria are unicellular micro-organisms. They have a wide range of shapes ranging from spheres, rods and spirals.Bacteria grows in soil, hot springs, acidic, radioactive waste, sea water and in the earths crust. There are typically 40 million bacterial cells in a gram of soil. and a million bacterial cells in a millilitre of of fresh water. There are approximately ten times as many bacterial cells as human cells in the human body.
Monera: Archeabacteria, they are adopted to extreme enviroment. Extreme heat, no oxygen, concentrated saltwater, extreme cold. They live in much harsher conditions such as hot springs. The coccus is one of there shapes witch are round,
diplo is a structure witch are in pair or together, The flagella have tail like whips for movement/locomotion.Binary fission is asexual reproduction. The bacteria splits into two equal parts. [chromosomes are replicated].
Eubacteria:They consume detrits, dead material, and live organisms. Autotrophs get there energy from the sun [chlorophyl] There algae is blue or green. Chemosynthetic Autotrophs get there energy from inorganic compound such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, sulfer etc. The baccllus is a shape that is rod shaped. staphylo is a structure and they are in grape like clusters. for movement and locomotion are spirochete and look like cork screws. Conjugation is sexual reproduction mating tubes, transfer genetic materials.

Taylor,
You are missing Benefits, Problems, and pics. Generally speaking, your post lacks organization. Please use the structure I provided on the assignment sheet. Group things based on Summary, Major groups, Locomotion, Reproduction, Shape and Structure, Problems, and Benefits.
Thanks,
Ryan
