Bacteria are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or

centimeters, bacterial size is measured in microns. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter a

pinhead is about a millimeter across. Rod shaped bacteria are usually from two to tour microns long,
Luyện đề thi THPT QG 2017 môn tiếng Anh (Đề thi thử số 1) | mrnsapro@gmail.com (Biên soạn)

while rounded ones are generally one micron in diameter Thus if you enlarged a founded bacterium a

thousand times, it would be just about the size of a pinhead. An adult human magnified by the same

amount would be over a mile (1.6 kilometers) tall.

Even with an ordinary microscope, you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a

magnification of 100 times, one finds that bacteria are barely visible as tiny rods or dots One cannot

make out anything of their structure. Using special stains, one can see that some bacteria have

attached to them wavy - looking "hairs" called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella

rotate, pushing the bacteria though the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by

their own power while others can glide along over surfaces by some little understood mechanism.

From the bacterial point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans.

To a bacterium water is as thick as molasses is to us. Bacteria are so small that they are influenced by

the movements of the chemical molecules around them. Bacteria under the microscope, even those

with no flagella, often bounce about in the water. This is because they collide with the water

molecules and are pushed this way and that. Molecules move so rapidly that within a tenth of a

second the molecules around a bacterium have all been replaced by new ones even bacteria without

flagella are thus constantly exposed to a changing environment.

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things,

the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare.

And since man’s inexorable necessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he

can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single

drop.

Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to

withstand its desiccating effects. No moist-skinned, water-loving animals can exist there. Few large

animals are found. The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat.

Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the

tangled forest. Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth. Yet

they are not emaciated. Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as

animals anywhere else in the word.

The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology. None could

survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a

matter of minutes. So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows

underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night. The surface of the sun-baked desert

averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees.
