  2. How Quickly Can Bacteria Multiply? • In this imaginary experiment, beans will represent bacterial cells. • Put an imaginary bean in an imaginary cup. This bean will represent the first generation of bacteria. 1

  3. How Quickly Can Bacteria Multiply? • Approximately every 20 minutes, a bacterial cell reproduces by dividing into two cells. • Put 2 beans into a second cup to represent the second generation of bacteria. 2

  4. How Quickly Can Bacteria Multiply? • Calculate how many bacterial cells there would be in the third generation if each cell in cup 2 divided into two cells. 3

  5. How Quickly Can Bacteria Multiply? • Repeat previous step five more times. • How many cells are in the eighth generation? • How much time has elapsed since the first generation?

  6. 4 32 5 6 64 128 7 8

  7. How Quickly Can Bacteria Multiply? • Cup 1 – 1 bacterium • Cup 2 – 2 bacteria (20 min) • Cup 3 – 4 bacteria (40 min) • Cup 4 – 8 bacteria (60 min) • Cup 5 – 16 bacteria (80 min) • Cup 6 – 32 bacteria (100 min) • Cup 7 – 64 bacteria (120 min) • Cup 8 – 128 bacteria (140 min)

  8. How Quickly Can Bacteria Multiply? • From one single bacterium, we got 128 bacteria in the eighth generation! • And it only took 2h 20 min (140 min) !

  11. The Bacterial Cell Structures • Cell wall: rigid surrounding of bacterial cell that protects it • Cell membrane: inside cell wall, controls what materials pass into and out of cell • Cytoplasm: contains gel-like material

  12. The Bacterial Cell Structures • Ribosomes: tiny structures in cytoplasm, chemical factories where proteins are produced • Genetic material: tangled string looking, inside cytoplasm, contains instructions for cell functions • Flagella: long, whiplike structures that help a cell to move (singular flagellum)
