BACTERIA! BACTERIA EVERYWHERE😱
By everywhere I mean on and in you, in soil, plants, in freshwater or seawater, in radioactive wastes and even deep within the Earth’s crust! Bacteria are unicellular organisms and are among the simplest and earliest forms of life on earth 🤯
You may have heard about bacteria being prokaryotes, unlike all of the organisms I post here which are eukaryotes! Eukaryotes include animals, plants, fungi and protists (algae and unicellular organisms), to name a few. Prokaryotes don’t possess a nucleus to store their DNA or other small membranous organelles such as mitochondria or chloroplasts. In fact, mitochondria and chloroplasts would’ve evolved from bacteria and that is totally MIND BLOWING!!! (right?)
Bacteria are the most abundant organisms on earth, in terms of mass, diversity and number of individuals (and I thought there was lots of nematode worms 🤔). Although, only a few types of bacteria are pathogens and can cause disease. Lots of them are actually beneficial, for example, those living inside us help with food digestion and prevent dangerous bacteria to grow! Fun fact; we possess as many bacteria than cells, and we’re made of 30 trillion freaking cells 🤠 In comparison, the revised estimate of bacterial cells present in and on humans is 38 trillions 🙃
Bacteria mainly move with the help of one or many flagella, a bit like algae from some of my videos. Although, prokaryotic and eukaryotic flagella aren’t build the same way and the mechanics behind their movements are very different!
Okayyyy my work here is done! Hit me up for more fun facts 😈
