Comparing Microorganisms
-
Go to Cells Alive at http://www.cellsalive.com/howbig.htm
-
View the animation that compares the size of microorganisms, blood cells, and sperm.

-
Go to http://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Biology/Bio231/glycolysis.html and work through the tutorial and view the animations.
-
Draw your own sequence of what happens I glycolysis.
-
Why is glycolysis important in microbiology?
Osmosis: The Bacterial Cell Wall
- What are the differences in the cell walls of gram positive, gram negative and mycobacteria?
-
What effect do these differences have on the behavior of the organism?
Bacterial Motility
-
Most motile bacteria move by the use of flagella (singular, flagellum) Watch this animation that describes this movement http://www.northland.cc.mn.us/biology/Biology1111/animations/flagellum.html
-
What do these terms mean? chemotaxis, bacteria + flagellum, cell motility, random motility, directed motility, flagellar rotation?
