Section outline

  • Hi everyone! Welcome back to our microbiology class. Today we’re going to discover what makes bacteria unique, what they look like inside and out, and how we group them based on their shapes and characteristics. 



    2.1 Topic Learning Outcome 
    At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
    2.1.1 Draw and label the basic structure of a bacterial cell.
    2.1.2 Explain the functions of each bacterial cell component (e.g., capsule, flagella, pili).
    2.1.3 Classify bacteria based on their shapes and arrangements.
    2.1.4 Explain the difference between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
    2.1.5 Describe the formation and significance of bacterial endospores.
