LEC 4 Flashcards
ENDOTOXIN what is example of endotoxin
lipid A
ENDOTOXIN what kind of molecule is endotoxin
lipid
ENDOTOXIN when is endotoxin released
bacterial death
EXOTOXIN how does exotoxin work
- produced by bacterial cell
2. released by bacterial cell
EXOTOXIN what kind of molecule is exotoxin
protein
EXOTOXIN what are 3 types of exotoxins
- enterotoxin ==> affects intestinal cells
- neurotoxin == > affects brain cells
- cytotoxin
METABOLISM what is metabolism
sum of chemical reactions that occur in organism
METABOLISM what are 4 components of metabolism
- anabolism
- catabolism
- enzymes
- energy production
METABOLISM what are catabolic reactions
reactions that release energy (for use by cells)
METABOLISM what are anabolic reactions
reactions that store energy
METABOLISM what do catabolic reactions involve
complex molecules to simple molecules
METABOLISM what do anabolic reactions involve
simple molecules to complex molecules
METABOLISM what kind of molecules is glycogen
storage molecule
ENZYMES how does high temp affect reaction rate
increase reaction rate
ENZYMES what would increase in body temp result in
protein denaturation
ENZYMES what is the function enzymes
increase reaction rate
ENZYMES what are 3 characteristics of enzymes
- substrate specific
- unchanged during reaction
- recycled after reaction
ENZYMES what are factors that affect enzyme function (5)
- temp
- pH
- salt concentration
- saturation
- inhibitors
ENZYMES what does saturation refer to
amount of substrates that are bound to enzymes
ENZYMES what can happen when pH too high or too low
denaturation
EN PRODUCTION what is primary nutrient source
glucose
EN PRODUCTION what are 3 processes by which glucose used
- aerobic resp
- anaerobic resp
- fermentation
EN PRODUCTION what conditions does fermentation. occur in
- aerobic
2. anaerobic
EN PRODUCTION what process common to CR and fermentation
glycolysis
EN PRODUCTION what happens in glycolysis
glucose to pyruvate
EN PRODUCTION how much ATP produced per glucose by aerobic CR
38
EN PRODUCTION what are obligate aerobes
bacteria that need oxygen to grow
EN PRODUCTION what is obligate aerobe rate of growth
fast
EN PRODUCTION how much ATP produced per glucose by anaerobic CR
4
EN PRODUCTION what is obligate anaerobe
bacteria that need no oxygen to grow
EN PRODUCTION what is rate of obligate anaerobe growth
slow
EN PRODUCTION what are 2 en sources other than glucose
- proteins
2. lipids
what are 3 factors affecting bacterial growth
- physical factors
- chemical factors
- envrio factors
