Any questions?
View the animation and answer the following questions as you
go. Think pair share protocol. Give
students time to view the animation, and think about each question, then discuss
with their partner the answers to the questions, then share out, and record
their answers.
1) What is the difference between an antibody and
an antibiotic? (prior knowledge)
2)
What causes the common cold?
3)
Do antibiotics work on viruses?
4)
Are all bacteria harmful? Explain.
5)
How does the antibiotic tetracycline work? (how
does it affect the ability of the bacteria cell to function?)
6)
Do bacteria develop resistance in response to
the antibiotic? Or is the random mutation already present when antibiotics are
administered?
7)
What causes resistance to tetracycline?
8)
Why do the few bacteria with random mutations
survive? How does the population of bacteria end up growing?
9)
What are some other mutations that bacteria can have
that make them resistant to antibiotics?
10)
What is plasmid transfer? How is it different
than asexual reproduction?
11)
How can humans decrease the spread and
development of antibiotic resistant bacteria?
