Bacteria+-+SM

=Introduction:= toc I touch the door knob as I walk in. Then I head straight to the sink to wash my hands because the door knob and everything else I touched contained bacteria. Bacteria jumps from one place to the other and travels by your skin. Bacteria is a germ that can cause you to get sick. But did you know that bacteria have good germs too they help you not get sick. bacteria is good and bad for your body because it helps stop bacteria from affecting your body, h ow does bacteria get nutrients it needs for energy, find a diagram of what bacteria looks like, what is the lifespan of a bacteria cell and how does it reproduce (asexual Reproduction), h ow to avoid getting sick from bacteria. =** Different looks in bacteria **= Bacteria looks like a period typed on your computer that's so tiny that you can only see it through a microscope. Microscopes can zoom in to any little thing that you can not see in person. Bacteria is not big it is very small and can only be found in certain places. For instance bacteria can be found in many different places but can not see them. Bacteria are tiny, single-celled organisms that require food and nutrients just like any other living organism. For instance they live in our food,water,the air, and in our body. =** Process of how to get nutrients **= Bacteria gets nutrients by the sun but not just by the sun also by **photosynthesis**. Bacteria, like all living cells, require energy and nutrients to build proteins and structural membranes. Bacteria require source of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, iron and a large number of other minerals.They don’t use energy from the sun to make food they use some photosynthesis. Like an organisms, bacteria need energy, and they can acquire this energy through a number of different ways. =** Bacteria functions **= Bacteria has many different parts in them. They are called functions. Some functions are called bacterial flagellum**,nucleoid** (circular DNA), piti, cytoplasm, and some others. Cytoplasm is a clear , jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of the cell and surrounds all of the internal structures. Cytoplasm can also contains strands of proteins. On the other hand there is also a **plasmid** that can separate and replicate independently. Related to plasmid there is also a bacterial flagellum which is flagella are long, thin, whip-like appendages attached to a bacterial cell that allow for bacterial movement. Just as the **bacterial flagellum** the cell’s ** outer membrane ** made up of a two layers.Turning to the cell wall its a bacterial cell that contains lots of the same stuff that you'd find in an **eukaryotic** cell, such as those which make up our bodies. The capsule is another cell structure that can protect the bacterial cell and is also associated with pathogenic bacteria because it serves as a barrier against photosynthesis by white blood cells. Capsule can be seen by viewing bacteria in india ink. However ribosomes are also like capsule but it has different things to do. The ribosomes is a protein synthesis that takes place that takes place at the bacterial ribosome. The **pili** is a specialized **pilus**, the sex pilus, allows the transfer of plasmid DNA from one bacterial cell to another. = Lifespan of a bacteria cell and how does it reproduce (asexual Reproduction) = Asexual reproduction is a reproductive process that involves.Asexual reproduction is when the person has unsafe sex. On the other hand it has a genes and the genes of the original and its copy will be the same, except for rare mutations. They are clones. In this form of reproduction, a single organism cell  makes a copy of itself and makes good germs and bad germs to make your body sick. = Avoid getting sick from bacteria = Avoiding to get sick by bacteria is lots of work you have to wash your hands and keep away from sick people. Avoiding sick people is a hard job because you also probably have to watch over the sick people. You have to avoid getting sick by not handling with the person’s blood or vomit and if have to handle wit vomit or blood wear gloves and after that still wash hands. When you are not sick but feel that you are going to get sick you need to rest a lot to avoid the sickness. On the other hand it is good to wash your hand before eating, after you finish playing,or when you get home. That way you will avoid getting sick by dirt on your hand. Another way you can avoid getting sick is that if a person is coughing do not go near them a cough can go about 5 ft and can get you sick because thats how they pass bacteria from one person’s mouth to the other persons face. Also you don’t want to touch the person because the person could of touched its face and all the bacteria jumps onto that hand then touches you causes you to get sick. = Ending = Bacteria can help you in many different ways. Bacteria have many different types of germs that can keep you from getting sick and get you sick. People are getting sick because they touch things and after they don't wash there hands. Bacteria collects nutrients by the sun but not just by the sun also by photosynthesis. Bacteria affects your body in many different ways by the looks and the size on what they look like. Bacteria is not big it is the size of a period typed on a computer. Bacteria is not friendly so if you don't want to get sick start washing your hands and avoiding sick people. =References= “Bacterial cell interactive animation.” cells alive. quill graphics, 2014.
