Finals Review Flashcards
Gram positive versus gram-negative bacteria
- -has thick outer membrane, thin peptidoglycsn
+ Has no outer membrane, thick peptidoglycsn
Purpose of heat bath cell lysis step transformation lab
Weaken cell membrane
Purpose of freezing cell lysis step transformation lab
Expand cytoplasm to break cell open
Purpose of centrifuge cell lysis step transformation lab
Separate protein from cell debris
Column chromatography gfp isolation step of cell transformation lab
Gfp is large and does not get stuck in pores unlike other proteins gets caught and well
SDS page / reading gel isolation step of cell transformation lab
Small proteins go to bottom, electrical current moves it, more than one band means gfp was not isolated. Measure distance moved from the top then chart
Denatured DNA
Chain
Nature DNA
Folded up
Free genetic info is taken into the cell from the environment
Transformation
Exchange of genetic info between two bacteria
Conjugation
Agent transfers DNA between two bacteria
Transduction
BLAST
Put in the DNA sequence, says top matches. Use evalue and percent identity
E value
Chance of a random match should be 0 or negative
Percent identity
Percent that matches the sequence
Mutation
Mutated genes become resistant and pass on
Destroys the antibiotic for resistance
Inactivation
Pumps out the antibiotic
Efflux
ELISA
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. If a person has the disease. Antigen attaches to the DNA in the well, rest is washed out. Then add primary antigens, wash unbound out. Then add 2nd antibody. Add substrate to see color change, brighter color is higher concentration of bacteria
Killed virus, polio
Inactivated
Living weakened virus, mmr, chicken pox
Live antennuated
Uses part of a Target pathogen to cause response, hepatitis b, shingles
Subunit
mRNA enters the body, cells reveal the code for protein to trigger immune response, covid
mRNA
Uses toxins from bacteria, DTaP, tetanus
Toxoid
Prevent cross-linking in formation of peptidoglycan layer
Beta-lactans
Blocks TRNA binding sites, disrupts protein synthesis
Tetracycline
DNA gyrase is blocked, no unwinding of DNA prevents replication
Fluroquiniones
Blocks the enzyme to prevent folic acid
Sulfonamids
Hearing aids how they work in pros and cons
Uses a microphone, amplifier and speaker. Helps sensorial neuro hair cell damage, less severe
Cochlear implants how they work and pros and cons
Receive sound and sends through currents near auditory nerve, then signals brain. Used for a severe to profound hearing loss, for people who don’t benefit from hearing aids
How to read audiograms
X- left
O- right
[ ]- bone conductive hearing loss
Mixed, problems with conductive and sensory neural, will have a mix of both the brackets being low and the left and rights being low
Types of hearing loss
0-20 normal
21 - 40 mild
41-55 moderate
56-70 moderate severe
71-90 severe
90 + profound
Conductive versus sensory neural
Conductive is something physically blocks path of sound waves, bones, clogged up attaching tube
Sensorneural is when the sound waves are not being processed correctly
PCR
Polymerase chain reaction
