Module 1 - SLP

CELL STRUCTURE

Overview

For your Session Long Project, SLP, you will analyze current scientific studies related to the important events such as the Deepwater Spill. In Modules 1-5, you will work through the results of this study:

Urakawa, H., Garcia, Juan C., Barreto, Patricia D., Molina, Gabriela A., Barreto, Jose C. (2012). A sensitive crude oil bioassay indicates that oil spills potentially induce a change of major nitrifying prokaryotes from the Archaea to the Bacteria. Environmental Pollution. 164:42-45

For Module 1:

1. First read this article from Scientific American:

Clean Up the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

1. Next, define in complete sentences using a paragraph format:

 What is the difference between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic cell?

 The following terms:

Archaea

Nitrifying bacteria

Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

Gram-negative vs gram-positive bacteria

Hydrocarbon

Bioassay

Microtox bioassay

Crude oil

Biodegradation 3. Finally read:

Urakawa, H., Garcia, Juan C., Barreto, Patricia D., Molina, Gabriela A., Barreto, Jose C. (2012). A sensitive crude oil bioassay indicates that oil spills potentially induce a change of major nitrifying prokaryotes from the Archaea to the Bacteria. Environmental Pollution. 164:42-45

1. Which groups of bacteria were affected differently in this study?
