30
Pasteur and Lister
2 scientists who linked bacteria to the cause of disease
31
Koch
A scientist who outlined the steps to prove bacteria is linked to a particular illness
32
Salmonella -
A bacteria responsible for food poisoning. The bacterium is killed by cooking, can be found on eggs and chicken, and in hamburger. The illness develops several days after eating the effected food.
33
Clostridium botulinium
Another type of food poisoning. The toxin is so strong, 1mL would be enough to poison most of New York City.
34
Legionaires disease
Disease was discovered in 1976. The bacterium attacks monocytes, a type of white blood cells, causes pneumonia, and grows in warm, moist places such as a room humidifier. Members of the American legion were attending a convention in Las Vegas. Several members became ill a few died. The bacterial was found in the air conditioning system.
35

A bacterium found in your mouth which produces filamentous cells leading to the production of tooth plaque
36
Streptococcus sanguis
Mouth bacteria which ferment sugars and secrete lactic acid. They are responsible for cavities.
37
Chlamydia trachomatis
Tiny parasitic bacteria which is sexually transmitted, is difficult to diagnose because it has to grow in tissue, and can cause sterility woman
38
Syphilis
A sexually transmitted disease which occurs in 3 stages. A chancre sore at the site of infection, body rash, destruction of nervous and vascular tissue.
39
Protists -
- most diverse kingdom - Protists gave rise to multi-cellular forms of life - any eukaryote that isn't fungi, plant, or animal is a protist
40
Acrasiomycota -
-Type of protist -slime mold I.e. Dictyostelium, Discoideum
41

43
Chlorophyta
-Type of protist | All green algae
44
Dinoflagellata -- the dinoflagellates
-Type of protist--usually 2 flagella--stiff cellulose plate encrusted in silica producing a strange appearance--some are luminous producing twinkling of night seas in tropical areas--20 species produce powerful toxins I.e. The cell from hell, Red Sea in Egypt in the time of Mose's
45
Toxic Dinoflagellata
- Overgrowth = Bloom - can kill fish, birds, marine mammals - mollusks strain the Dinos from the water, but aren't killed - -> toxins accumulate in the mollusks-- humans can die from the toxins in the contaminated mollusks
46
Euglenophyta -- Euglenoids or Euglena
- Type of protist - their body is a pore studded shell or test - usually found in the sand on the shore - resemble tiny snails - cytoplasmic projections thru the shell are used for swimming and feeding
47
Myxomycota
- Type of protist | - Plasmodial slime molds
48
Plasmodium
a non-walled mass of multi-nucleated cytoplasm
49
When food or water are in short supply Myxomycota...?
- migrate quickly to a new area - form a mass, produce a stalk, and produce spores - -spores may last for yrs, and form a new plasmodium when conditions are good again
50
Sporozoa
- type of protist | - complex life cycle in more than 1 type of organism, causes malaria
51
Sporozoa cycle
1. Mosquito injects sporozoites into a human when it bites. Mosquito injects an anticoagulant into the human before sucking out the blood. Only females bite, and then lay eggs. 2. Sporozoites mature in the human liver. 3. Sporozoites move to the red blood cells and form gametocytes 4. Gametocytes move into another mosquito when it is sucking blood from . 5. The gametocytes are egg and sperm and form zygotes. These zygotes mature and form new sporozoites in the salivary glands of the mosquito. 6. The mosquito bites someone, into the sporozoites and the cycle starts again.
52
Animals -
Multicellular
53
Heterotrophic -
Eat other plants and animals
54
Eukaryote -
With a true nucleus VS prokaryote or bacteria
55
Animal reproduction
Egg + sperm= a zygote or fertilized egg
56
Zygote
Divides into a hollow ball of cells or a blastula
57
Gastriculation
Germ layers form -- go to form 1 of 3 - ectoderm - endoderm - mesoderm
58
Ectoderm
Skin, nervous system
59
Endoderm
Liver, pancreas, lungs, digestive tract
60
Mesoderm
Skeleton, muscles, kidney
61
No symmetry =
No particular shape or order to the body. | I.e. a sponge
62
Radial symmetry =
Body like a wheel. If cut into 4 pieces, each piece is essentially the same. - there is a top and bottom I.e. Sea anemones
63
Bilateral symmetry =
A top and bottom, and right and left side | I.e. you, lobster, cow
64
Coelom =
Or body cavity is a fluid or air filled space separating the digestive tract from the outer body wall
65
Coelomates =
Animals with a true coelom formed from mesoderm | I.e. Earthworm
66
Pseudocoelomates =
Animals with a coelom formed from mesoderm and endoderm. They are called pseudo, but still have a cavity. I.e. roundworms
67
Acoelomates =
Animals without a body cavity | I.e. Planaria
68
Protosome development -
Unequal size cells during cleavage or division of the zygote--early determination-blastopore--The gut forms the digestive tube or archenteron. Solid masses of the mesoderm split and form the coelom--the 1st opening in the archenteron becomes the mouth. A later, or 2nd opening becomes the anus I.e. Arthropods - insects, crabs, shrimp, lobster I.e. Mollusks - clam, oyster I.e. Annelid worms
69
(Protosome development) | Early determination -
Cells of the blastula become specialized early and loose the ability to produce all cell types in the body
70
(Protosome development) | Blastopore -
An indention during gastrulation that forms the archenteron
71
Deuterostome Development -
Equal size cells during cleavage--no determination early on--blastomeres contain instructions for all cell types--mesoderm grows on the archenteron, and the develops into the coelom--the anus develops from the 1st opening or blastopore and the mouth develops from a later or 2nd opening. I.e. Anything with a backbone -- human,cat, dog, starfish
72
Porifera
= sponges -- asymmetric -- collection or colony of cells. Different cells have different functions -- filter feeders -some sponges can produce certain antibiotics I.e. Cribrostatin - kills Streptococcus
73
(Sponges) | Epidermis -
Cells that make up the outer coating of the sponge
74
(Sponges) | Choanocytes -
Filtering cells. The cell has a "window screening" cone with a rotating flagella inside. The flagella causes currents and food particles to stick to the "window screening" -Food particles move into the body of the choanocytes, are digested, and pass out the back of the choanocyte to an amoebocyte
75
(Sponges) | Amoebocyte -
"Meals on wheels" | The amoebocytes move up and down the colony of cells, feeding the epidermal cells
76
(Sponges) | Spicules -
Calcium carbonate or silica, shaped like the Mercedes symbol. -they protect the sponge cells from hungry fish
77
(Sponges) | Pores -
Allow water to move into the walls of the sponge, past the choanocytes, and out of the top or osculum.
78
Sponges reproduce...?
Sexually. They are hermaphrodites -can function as males or females. Generally they are female and produce eggs, followed by a male cycle producing sperm.
79
Sponge larvae...
Have flagella and swim for a day or two to move away from the parents. They become sessile or attached to the bottom and grow to adults.
80
Cnidarians -
-True tissues, radial symmetry -Carnivors -Collection of tissues. No brain, but nerve nets for coordination I.e. Hydra, jellyfish, Portuguese man-of-war, Obelia, sea anemone ribbon worm, rotifer
