Q

Why is a cell wall like a cage?

A

It holds the plasma membrane in from expanding too much from osmotic pressure.
-Penicillin breaks down cell walls which make cells rupture from osmotic pressure.

Q

Explain a Gram Negative cell wall

A

Two membranes, inner and outer. The inner membrane is a phospholipid bilayer with a gap/buffer and then a single layer of peptidoglycan, followed by another filler and a phospholipid layer mixed with a layer of LPS on top.

Q

What are the four steps of Gram staining?

A
  1. apply crystal violet
  2. apply grams iodine- helps crystals crystalize
  3. wash with alcohol- decolorizes gram negative

Chemotaxis

A

moving towards food and away from danger

33

Axial filaments

A

inside outer sheath, causes cell to move like a corkscrew

34
Q

Fimbriae

A

Allows attachment to cells that are different

35

Pili/pilus

A

attach to bacteria and transfer plasmid

36

Ribosomes

A

produce proteins

37
Q

Plasmids `

A

small circular strands of DNA

38
Q

Endospores

A

Sporulation

A

formation of endospore

40

43
Q

What is a viruses main purpose?

A

to replicate

44
Q

What main components to viruses Not have that makes them non-living?

A

Q

What is a viroid?

A

Virus outside of the cell

Q

Two components all viruses have

A

Nucleic acids, protein coat

47

envelopes which they take from their host cell

48
Q

Three shapes of viral capsids:

A

Polyhedral-many faced cube
Helical-tube of protein
Combination- “Lunar model”

49
Q

Name the six steps of animal virus replication:

A 
1- Attachment
2- Entry 
3- Uncovering
4- Synthesis

6- Exit
50
Q

What determines the host range and the type of cells that a virus can infect?

A

attachment proteins or spikes

51
Q

How does entry of a virus occur?

A

penetration of a virus occurs by endocytosis or membrane fusion

52
Q

What is the most critical step in animal virus replication?

A

attachment

53
Q

What are the two ways that the new viruses can leave a cell?

A

Lysis- bursting of the cell, naked viruses

Budding- envelope is taken with as the virus slowly buds from cell.

54

Where is viral RNA replicated?

A

in the cytoplasm

A
  • RNA (negative)
56
Q

Retrovirus

Viroids

A

Infectious RNA, only in plants, no proteins, self replicating

58
Q

Prions

A

infectious proteins, non-living, no nucleic acid, Kuru, long incubation periods, non-immune response inducing
