Final Exam Microbiology Flashcards
Bacteria, Archaea, eukarya
Domain
Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.
Classification system
One, the microorganism must be found in all diseased organisms, not in healthy organisms two, the microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture three, the cultured microorganism should cause the disease when introduced into healthy organism four, the microorganism must be reisolated from the diseased, inoculated host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent
Koch’s postulates
Exact composition is not known
Complex media
Protein channel that contains the enzyme Blank. When protons flow through, energy is released and used by this enzyme to synthesize ATP from ADP
ATP synthase
NAD+ +2 electrons + 1 proton yields NADH
Two electrons, one proton
FAD +2 protons +2 electrons yields FADH2
Two protons and two electrons
Protons moving across a cytoplasmic membrane/concentration gradient. Used to make ATP
Chemiosmosis
Prevents cross-linking of peptidoglycan in gram-positive bacteria. Affects cell wall synthesis.
Penicillin
Require oxygen to grow
Obligate aerobes
Killed by O2
Obligate anaerobes
Makes ATP with O2 present but is capable of fermentation or anaerobic respiration
Facultative anaerobes
The removal of all microorganisms and endospores
Sterilization
The removal of microbes from eating utensils and food preparation
sanitization
When a person is exposed to a microorganism or foreign substance and the immune system responds (vaccine)
Adaptive immunity, active
When antibodies are transferred from one person to another, only last a few weeks, placenta and milk
Adaptive immunity, passive
Antigen enter and induce antibodies or mothers antibodies to fetus or infant
Naturally acquired, adaptive immunity
Vaccines, or preformed antibodies are injected passively
Artificially acquired, adaptive immunity
An arthropod that carries a disease causing organisms from one host to another host
Vector
Phagocytosis
White blood cells, neutrophils
Create histamine
White blood cells, basophils
Create toxic proteins against parasites
White blood cells, eSinophils
Mature into macrophages, phagocytosis
White blood cells, monocytes
Initiation of immune response, phagocytosis.
White blood cells, dendritic cells
Destroy target cells by cytolysis and apoptosis
White blood cells, lymphocyte
Cell mediated immunity
White blood cells, T cells
