1- Microbe Survival Chart


 

🔥 Quick Key Points

  • C, H, O, N = main building blocks of macromolecules (proteins, lipids, carbs, nucleic acids).

  • N and O are highly electronegative → they strongly pull electrons when forming bonds.

  • Phosphorus (P) is important for DNA and energy (ATP).


✏️ Easy Memory Trick:

CHON = Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen = life’s basic ingredients!
CaP = Calcium and Phosphorus = strong bones!

Here’s your 1-minute cheat phrase to remember the important elements easily:


🎯 Quick Memory Trick:

"Cows Have Outstanding New Cute Pets, Silly Snakes Chase Mice."

Each first letter reminds you of an important element:

MiceMagnesiumMg

✅ Now you can quickly remember:

  • C, H, O, N = life molecules

  • Ca, P = bones and teeth

  • S, Na, Cl, Mg = body functions like nerves and fluids.

This slide shows important Big Questions about microbes and macromolecules.

Here’s a simple breakdown to help you:


🌟 Big Questions and Simple Answers


1. How do microbes help host digestion?

  • Microbes in our gut (like bacteria) break down food we cannot digest by ourselves.

  • They help digest fiber, starches, and other complex molecules.

  • They also produce vitamins (like Vitamin K and B12) for us!


2. How do microbes survive extreme heat?

  • Special microbes called thermophiles can live in very hot places (like hot springs).

  • Their proteins and membranes are specially designed not to fall apart in heat.


3. How do microbes survive extremely acidic environments?

  • Special microbes called acidophiles can live in very acidic places (like acid mines or the human stomach).

  • They have strong cell membranes and enzymes that still work in acid.


📝 Extra Tip:

  • Macromolecules = Big molecules like proteins, DNA, carbohydrates, and lipids → they are the building blocks of all cells.

  • Cells are the building blocks of organisms (like humans!).


Would you also like me to make a simple mini-chart showing thermophiles vs acidophiles vs normal bacteria? 🔥⚡ It could help even more!

🌟 Microbe Survival Chart

Type of MicrobeWhat They LoveWhere They LiveSpecial Features
ThermophilesExtreme heat (hot temperatures)Hot springs, volcanic ventsHeat-stable proteins and membranes
AcidophilesExtreme acid (low pH)Acidic mines, stomach acidAcid-stable membranes and enzymes
Normal BacteriaNormal temperature and pHHuman body, soil, waterRegular enzymes that need moderate conditions

📝 Quick Key:

  • Thermo = Heat

  • Acido = Acid

  • Normal = Mild, everyday environments
