FINAL EXAM Flashcards
lipids:
oils, fats
carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
osmosis:
diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
selectively permeable membrane:
allows some things to pass through
diffusion:
water moves from areas of high to low concentration
active transport:
molecules need energy to move
passive transport:
doesn’t require energy to move
hypertonic solution:
water flows in
hypotonic solution:
water flows out
isotonic solution:
same concentration as the cell’s cytoplasm
endocytosis:
takes in substance from outside the cell
exocytosis:
moving large molecules to the cell’s exterior
3 bacterial structures:
cocci, bacilli, spirilla
binary fission:
method of asexual reproduction
steps of binary fission:
- DNA attach to membrane
- duplicates
- membrane enlarges
- wall forms in middle
- 2 daughters form
endotoxin:
found in bacterial walls
exotoxin
secreted into surrounding area
benefits of bacteria:
provides nutrients
ferments foods
breaks down food
lytic cycle:
immediately causes disease
1. adsorption
2. entry
3. replication
4. assembly
5. release
lysogenic cycle:
doesn’t cause immediate disease
1. adsorption
2. entry
3. prophage stage
4. external stimuli
viruses are made up of:
RNA/DNA and a protein casing
external barriers:
skin, saliva, mucus
