Bacteria+-+CD

=Introduction= toc Bacteria cells are small and they are also very mighty, they multiply (every 20 minutes)to make more so the could take over the immune system. Bacteria can also be good how you might ask? It could help you in ways like when you eat it breaks down food so than you can digest it and swallow. Bacteria is a big part in life because it helps people with everyday things. Also it could be bad because you can get diseases from bacteria and they are pretty serious. =Function=

Did you know that bacteria can multiply once every 20 minutes. The bacteria is not part of the human body so it keeps reproducing; the reason bacteria keeps reproducing is so than it can take over the immune system. It divides how you might ask? Bacteria divides by a sexual reproduction called Binary Fission. The more the bacteria cells that reproduce the worse the virus in the body gets(“Bacteria and bacteriology”). There are some disorders that weaken the immune system then make the simple Flu a bad virus(“At A Glance”). One disorder is AIDS which weakens your immune system so it does not attack viruses as well so bacteria can get to the immune system really easily. There is good bacteria in the world and that’s what keeps us alive; that good bacteria can help, like when we eat it breaks down food so than we can swallow and be able to digest it. If we did not have good bacteria than we would have to take a long time to chew our food.

=Structure= One structure of bacteria is the cell wall; it determines the type of food and liquids come inside the bacteria cell. Also the bacteria cell does not have a nucleus but it does have a nucleoid which is just like a nucleus but it can stretch so it go through the whole body. See there are a lot of structures that help keep the bacteria cell alive. If the bacteria cell did not have all these structures the nit probably would not stay alive for a very long time; if it does not stay alive for a long time than it can not get to the immune system. Some structures help the bacteria cell eat and drink to stay alive. == =Real World Connection=

Bad bacteria is like a foreign invader because it’s not supposed to be in your body. Every Time they multiply they get bigger and stronger like army’s the more soldiers the better chance of winning the war. Once one bacteria gets into the body it keeps multiplying by 2 so than it gets bigger faster. If you have a AIDS than that means that your army does not give lots of good training so than nobody wants to join and then you have a small army but there is no way to make your army any better. So bacteria is just like a foreign invasion because it’s not supposed to be there in your body but it still is.

=Illnesses Caused by Bacteria=

Bacteria can cause illnesses and they are death defying; some illnesses are Lyme disease, and Tuberculosis. Lyme disease can really hurt you and it could do lots of damage to your bones, brain, and heart if it is left untreated. Lyme disease cannot kill you but it could hurt the body parts in your body and they could stop working; that could lead to death. Another disease is tuberculosis which if you have HIV than you a better chance of dying. Tuberculosis can spread through the body and take over the lungs and other body parts.

=Conclusion= As you can see bacteria is a bad thing but at times it can really help you. Bacteria helps you when you eat (it breaks down food). Bacteria can also be bad because if it gets into you and you have AID’s than they could multiply and get bigger into a horrible illness like the simple flu. So you see why bacteria is good in situations but also bad. So if you have a kid you should check for ticks during the spring and summer or they might get Lyme disease.
