Chapter 2 Flashcards
very diverse
contains singular and multicelled organisms
-Algae
all contain chlorophyll
usually found near surface waters
have rigid cell wall- distinct from bacteria cell wall
Algae
single celled= yeast
multicellular=molds
Fungi
Gain energy from organic materials
mostly found on land
Fungi
microscopic single celled organisms
protozoa
found in water and on land
protozoa
do not have rigid cell wall
protozoa
gain energy from organic matter
most are motile (diverse and feature of their classification)
protozoa
4 classes of protozoa
- ciliates
- flagellates
- heliozoans
- amoebas
contain protein coat surrounding
- essentially protein bag of nucleic acid
virus
termedobligate intracellular parasites
virus
- must have host machinery to replicate
- inactive outside of host
virus
all forms can be infected by this, frequently kills host cells
- but SOME live harmoniously with host for long periods
virus
simpler than viruses
still require host cell for replication
viroid
consist of a single short piece of RNA
viroid
contains no protective protein coat
viroid
smaller than virus
generally cause plant disease
viroid
sunblotch is cause by
avocado sunblotch viroid
infectious proteins
prions
contains no nucleic acid
prion
responsible for 6 neurodegenerative diseases
prion
prions are responsible for which diseases
- Animal
- scrapie in sheep
- mad cow in cattle - human
- kuru
- creutzelt-jakob
macromolecules of the cell include
- DNA and RNA
- proteins
- lipids
- general carbohydrates
chemical bonding on cells include
- covalent
- ionic
- hydrogen
all cells are made up of
water
In the water is mix of organics nutrients and macromolecules. These macromolecules control..
when cells make and use these nutrients to produce energy and more cells.
DNA and RNA backbone is held together by
covalent bonds
DNA and RNA structures are held together by
hydrogen bonds
sequences of amino acids
proteins
amino acids are held together by
covalent bonds
structure of proteins is held together by
hydrogen bonds
major components of membranes thy provide a way to keep your water from mixing with everyone elses
lipids
cannot use fructose but can grow well using sucrose as a carbon source
Bacillus popilliae
are sugar molecules use for energy production or storage or a structural components
Carbohydrates
- The arrangement matters!
- ‘Taste the difference’
- Cross-links in polysaccharides matter
Carbohydrates
nonliving bc they can not replicate on their own
virus
important to maintain double helix in DNA
hydrogen bonds
if stressed, these are hard to fold , if you cant fold, then you cant do anything so you die
protein
major components of membrane
lipid
need these groups to make DNA and RNA
phosphate groups
-also need C, H, and N
