ALGAE ADVENTURES
These organisms make fish tanks turn green by rapidly multiplying.
Algae
All bacteria share this cellular feature—they don’t have one.
nucleus
Bread has holes because yeast performs this gas-producing process.
fermentation
Archaea love living in environments that are described with this one word.
extreme
Unlike bacteria and archaea, yeast has this cell part.
nucleus
This process allows algae to use light, water, and minerals to make their own food.
photosynthesis
These helpful bacteria live inside your intestines.
good bacteria- bacteria that helps you digest food
Yeast is a type of this kingdom of organisms, related to mushrooms.
fungi
These boiling geological features around volcanoes are a common archaea home.
hot springs
All four organisms discussed share this basic property.
unicellular
Unlike plants, unicellular algae lack these three major structures.
roots, stems and leaves
Some bacteria can reproduce every 20 minutes, forming this many cells in 12 hours. How many can they produce in 12 hours.
70 million
Yeast mainly eats this type of molecule, found in fruits and flour.
sugars
Instead of normal food, archaea may consume sulfur, ammonia, or this toxic gas. What gas can they consume to get energy?
carbon dioxide
This group is the only one that performs photosynthesis.
algae
This giant bubble-like organism is one of the largest single-celled life forms on Earth.
Bubble algae
What are some shapes of bacteria?
Round, spiral, rod
These pockets form inside dough as carbon dioxide becomes trapped.
bubbles/holes
Archaea helped shape Earth’s early atmosphere by turning toxic materials into this life-supporting substance. What gas do they produce?
oxygen
These two groups can survive in environments deadly to most other life forms.
bacteria and archea
These algae have silica in their cell walls and are even used in toothpaste.
diatoms
Soil bacteria survive by feeding on these fallen biological materials.
dead organisms
Yeast cells double roughly every 100 minutes and live about this long on average.
1 week
These ocean structures, reaching 236°F and extreme pressure, are some of the toughest homes archaea thrive in. Clue (you have this in your unit one)
deep sea vents
Rank these organisms from simplest to most complex: bacteria, archaea, yeast.
