  1. Bacterial Growth
    • Observing the growth of the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae
    • These Streptococcus bacteria have been placed on a nutrient rich agar medium and their growth visualized. You can monitor their growth by watching the middle frame and moving through time(click +5) with the time step buttons.
    • Estimate how long it takes for this population of bacteria to double. Hint- this population doubles multiple times during the duration of this recording.
  2. Cellular Reproduction
  3. Cellular Metabolism
    1. In a paragraph or two compare and contrast photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
    2. Describe the ecological relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
    3. Hypothesize about what might happen if a large number of producers were suddenly removed from the biosphere. Where might carbon accumulate if the ratio of number of producers to consumers was markedly reduced?
