Q

what are the main characteristics of alphaproteobacteria?
(Gram negative prokaryotic)

A

-they are oligotrophs:
capable of living in a low-nutrient environment
-obligate intracellular: rely on other cells for ATP, so they must live inside a host cell for part of their life cycle

A

fungal infection

36
Q

prokaryotic ribosomes

A

70s (50s+30s)

37
Q

eukaryotic ribosomes

A

80s (60s+40s)

38
Q

autoclave

A

uses pressure to kill bacteria

39
Q

flatworms

A

-platyhelminths
-flukes,tapeworms,tuberlarians

40
Q

what are the segments of the body of the worm called?

A

proglottids

41
Q

which flat worms were segmented?

A

-tapeworm

42
Q

which flat worms were unsegmented?

A

flukes

43
Q

cilia

A

-hairlike organelle
-two central microtubules

44
Q

protozoans pellicle

A

bands of protein just inside the membrane that add rigidity forming a structure

45
Q

viral multiplication

A

adsorption,penatration,replication,maturation,assembly,release

46
Q

what is the structure of viruses?

A

nucleic acid (DNA orRNA) sorrouned by a protein coat. envelope is obtained by budding out of cell

47
Q

how do viruses replicate?

A

only inside the host cell. They “take over”.

48
Q

Prions

A

transmissible proteins

49
Q

What is the name of prions in sheep, cow, and humans?

A

scrapie-sheep
mad cow disease- cattle
creutzfeldt jakob disease-humans

50
Q

what is one approach that has been developed to treat viral infections?

A

nucleoside analogs (acyclovir)

51
Q

How do animal viruses replicate?

A

Attachment, penetration, uncoating, replication, assembly, release

52
Q

DNA viruses…

A

enter host cell (as provirus) and then can direct production of new viruses from there

53
Q

RNA viruses…

A

operate from host’s cytoplasm

54
Q

What are retro viruses

A

RNA viruses that carry enzymes to convert RNA —> DNA

55
Q

Lytic cycle

A

phage invades the bacterium and replicates making more phages until the bacterium explodes. Releases new phages -it lyses

56
Q

Lysogenic phase

A

The phage invades the bacterium but this time its genome gets incorporated into the bacterial chromosome as a prophage (which is then replicated along with the chromosome as the bacterium does binary fission, so all progeny cells are infected)

57
Q

what casues the red tide?

A

K.brevis, dinoflagellets

57
Q

If prophage pops out then it can enter…

A

lytic phase

58
Q

dsDNA replication strategy

A

follows cellular process

59
Q

ssDNA

A

has to produce complimentary DNA to then produce the mRNA that will be used to make the proteins

60
Q

ssRNA

A

+sense can act as an mRNA and produce proteins
-sense is complementary to mRNA and then needs another enzyme to convert to mRNA that can be used to produce the proteins

61
Q

dsRNA

A

uses the enzyme (viral RNA dependent RNA polymers) to produce mRNAs to then be used to produce the proteins

62
Q

isotonic solution

A

balanced, equal, no net movement

63
Q

hypotonic solution

A

external has a low concentration of solute and high water concentration

64
Q

hypertonic

A

the movement of water goes out of the cell, as there is a high concentration of solute outside of the cell

65
Q

which bacteria is most prevalent in the human gut?

A

bacteroides

66
Q

betaproteabactreia genra

A

-neisseria
-bordetella
-leptothrix

67
Q

how do spirochetes propel themselves?

A

axial filament

68
Q

deinococcus radiodurans

A

deeply branching bacteria considered polyextremophile

69
Q

what genus does Samonella belong to?

A

gammaproteobacteria

70
Q

what class does e.coli fall in?

A

gammaproteobacteria
