What is the missing word? In what two ways can fungi feed? Can
Respiration, Movement, Growth, you describe each?
Sensitivity, Excretion, Internal Control
and Reproduction. Saprophytic: Hyphae release digestive enzymes
which break down food externally and then they
absorb the sugars
Nutrients is missing
Parasitic: attack living organisms and penetrate their
outer defence to feed off of the organism

Do all bacteria cause disease? DO all Are Animal cells eukaryotic or
viruses cause disease? prokaryotic? Can you give some
characteristics of each?
Not all bacteria cause disease Animal cells are eukaryotic

All viruses cause disease
Can you think of any bacteria or viruses that cause disease?

Describe internal control. Describe saprophytic
feeding.
Saprophytic: Hyphae release
Internal control is
maintaining a steady digestive enzymes which break down
food externally and then they absorb
state inside the body
the sugars

What conditions do bacteria Which groups of living
need to grow? organisms are classified as
pathogens?
Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi and
Protoctists are pathogens

1.3 Bacteria and Viruses Wednesday, 30 August 2023
Protoctists
Specification Point:
1.2 describe the common features shown by eukaryotic organisms: protoctists
Learning Objectives:
All: Identify protoctists as microscopic single-celled organisms
Most: Understand that protoctists have a variety of features, some are more
like animals and others are more like plants.
Some: Use the knowledge gained about specific examples of protoctists to
synthesise a fact-file about well-known species.
Starter:
Write a definition for a prokaryote.
Extension:
Find out how prokaryotes make copy of themselves.
All: Describe the common features shown by animals, plants, fungi and protoctists.
Extension:
Explain how a protoctist may be
mistaken for a plant cell in detail.
Discuss their features.
These are mostly single celled

and microscopic (very small)
Some are multicellular and quite
Some have chloroplasts and are Protoctists big (seaweed)
similar to plant cells. Others are
more like animal cells or fungal
cells. Flagellum
SCF: listening skill

Learning Objectives:
•All: Define the term pathogen.
•All: Name examples of bacteria and viruses.
•Most: Demonstrate a understanding of the size
of bacterial cells.
•Most: Know that pathogens may include fungi,
bacteria, protoctists and viruses.
•Some: Describe how the components of
bacterial and viral cells relate to their function.
UAE Link Common bacteria in the UAE - E. coli and Staphylococcus can often
be found in a UAE workplace
Common virus in the UAE - Seasonal Influenza
Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protoctists, Bacteria and

Viruses
• Watch the video and answer the questions as it plays
Questions:
1.Which kingdoms of life are Eukaryotic?
2.Which Kingdom of life is a prokaryote?
3.Create a visual representation of the size of a bacterial cell in
relation to viral cell and eukaryotic cells.
4.What term is used to describe the organisms that need to gain their
energy from other organisms?
5.What term is used to describe the gaining of energy from the sun?
6.Describe the process of saprotrophic feeding.
7.Which groups can be considered pathogens?
8.Write down 5 key points about bacteria.
9.Name some examples of Bacteria.
10.Write down 5 key points about viruses.
11.Name some examples of Viruses.
Independent learning
Answers
1. Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protoctists
2. Bacteria
3.
4. Heterotrophs/Saprotrophs
5. Autotrophs
6. Digestive enzymes secreted onto food, wait for food to break down and
absorb nutrients
7. Fungi, Protoctists, Bacteria and Viruses
8. Can live nearly anywhere, Some species can photosynthesise, Most feed
off other organism, none have chloroplasts, A few can cause disease,
Most don’t have anything to do with humans, Many are helpful
9. Salmonella, Tuberculosis, E. Coli
10. 1 million can fit on the width of a fingernail, not living, Protein coat
covers DNA, Can only reproduce inside other cells (parasites)
11. Influenza Virus, Tobacco Mosaic Virus, HIV, COVID-19
How does Bacteria infect and damage our

bodies?
• Bacteria damages cells by
releasing toxins and
poisons in our body
• Bacteria reproduce rapidly
by Binary Fission
• Not always Pathogens
Toxins
Growing bacteria
• Bacteria need certain conditions to help them grow.
• What do you think bacteria need to grow?
Problem Solving
1. Collect an 3. Gently rub

agar plate, one your cotton
cotton bud and bud over the
one pen. agar without
damaging it
2. Swab 4. Place the lid

somewhere in on the agar
the room (only plate and
one place) throw away
the cotton bud
Collaboration and intuition

Why?
• Why was it important we only opened the agar plate for a short
time while we completed the streak?
Aseptic techniques
• Aseptic - free from contamination caused by harmful bacteria
(sterilised)
Why?
• Why is it important we don’t tape up the whole thing?
Why?
• Why is it important we store them upside down?
Why?
• Why is it important we store them at 25oC?
Identifying bacteria
How do viruses infect and damage cells?
• Viruses inject their DNA into our cells

• The virus replicates and lyses (bursts) our cells when there are too many
• This causes damage to our cells and makes us feel unwell
Revision
Create a mind map to include everything we have learnt so far
this year
10 minutes without looking in your textbooks/exercise books
Now add to your mindmap using a different coloured pen

- You can use your textbooks/ exercise books
