Bacterial Morphology
The bacteria are prokaryotic organisms that are single-celled, and are found to exist as free-living and possess a microscopic size. The morphology is found to vary in the bacteria, where some of them are identified as individual organisms and the others are detected as colonies. The size and shape of the bacterial cell also represent its morphology.
Bacterial cell structure
Bacteria are single-celled, tiny creatures that may enter healthy tissues and grow rapidly. Bacteria are microscopic organisms that are tiny and unicellular. These are members of the prokaryote kingdom. They live in water, air, soil, and all-natural environments. They are used in industrial and therapeutic processes, and they support a wide range of plant and animal life. The first organism to appear on the planet. Bacteria-like creatures are the oldest known fossils. Bacteria can consume a wide range of organic and inorganic elements, and some may even survive in harsh conditions.

**Image Explanation:**
The image depicts an insect, specifically a mosquito. Mosquitoes are commonly known for biting and can act as vectors for various microbial pathogens, transmitting diseases such as malaria, dengue, and Zika virus. The exercise includes dropdown menus asking for the classification of the mosquito in terms of its biological domain and kingdom, as well as its role in disease transmission as an arthropod vector.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb0a27453-ff0d-46df-adbf-24c2f3649a18%2F0bc5bd1b-6be2-49a2-b6e8-a1118b7c4075%2F3rrqay7_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

**Image Explanation:**
The image depicts an insect, specifically a mosquito. Mosquitoes are commonly known for biting and can act as vectors for various microbial pathogens, transmitting diseases such as malaria, dengue, and Zika virus. The exercise includes dropdown menus asking for the classification of the mosquito in terms of its biological domain and kingdom, as well as its role in disease transmission as an arthropod vector.
Transcribed Image Text:The image appears to be an educational slide, possibly from a quiz or interactive lesson on biology, featuring a picture of a mosquito.
### Text Content:
1. **Question:**
- What is the Domain and Kingdom?
**Options:**
- Eukarya, Protista
- Bacteria, Protista
- Bacteria, Animalia
- Eukarya, Animalia
2. **Question:**
- Can this organism act as an "arthropod vector" of microbial pathogens?
**Options:**
- yes
- no
3. **Additional Text:**
- "Question 51"
- A description follows: "The next day you are called by former microbiology... manage a ranch in Texas. They are very concerned as their cattle and sheep are dying."
### Diagram
- There is an image of a mosquito at the top, which is related to the question about being an "arthropod vector."
### Explanation:
- **Domain and Kingdom:** Eukarya and Animalia refer to the classification of the mosquito, which belongs to the domain Eukarya due to its complex cellular structure and the kingdom Animalia as it's a multicellular organism.
- **Arthropod Vector:** Mosquitoes are known to be vectors of various diseases because they can transmit pathogens from one host to another, making the correct answer to the second question "yes."
This slide aims to teach students about biological classification and the ecological roles of organisms such as mosquitoes.
Expert Solution
Step 1
This is a picture of a MOSQUITO.
- They belong to class Diptera.
- In his life cycle some stages appear like EGG, LARVA, PUPA & ADULT .
- Out of the four stages Egg, larva and pupa dwell in aquatic environment.
- They have one pair wings.
- They are about 3-6 mm in length.
- They usually live for about 5 -7 days.
- They have compound eyes.
- Males mosquito feed on nectar of flowers while female feed on human blood as she has to lay eggs.
