Q

Bacteria in clusters are called?

A

Staphilo

19
Q

TRUE OR FALSE
Some bacteria are autotrophs and some hetrotrophs?

A

TRUE

20
Q

What process do bacteria go through in order to multiply?

A

Binary fissions

21
Q

Why is it important to finish off anti-biotics that have been prescribed for a certain duration of use?

A
  • One can become anti-botic resistant
  • Remaing bacteria will remember the medication and fight it off

-If the illness was to occur aagain then it wouldn’t work agaisnt the illness

22
Q

What do Marcophage do in our immune system?

A
  • They swallow bacteria and trap it in its membrane

-Bacteria is broken down by enzyems and is killed

-Cause inflimation so that fughting off the infection is easier

23
Q

What Neutrophils do in our immune system?

A
  • Come into play when Marcophage is in distress

-Very reckless and kill eveything, including healhty cells

  • Generate barriers that kill and trap bacteria

-Kill themselves after a while

24
Q

What does the Dendritic cell do for our immune system?

A
  • Takes parts of the intruder and presents parts on outer layer

-From there decides if it wants anti-virus forces or bacteria forces (we will use bacteria in this example)

25
Q

What do Anit-bacterial cells do in the immune system?

A

-Anti bacterial cells move to lymp nodes

-Helper T cells are activated and find a match with the dendrtitic cells outer kayer parts, helper T cells then duplicate , some become memory T cells

26
Q

What do B cells do in the immune system?

A
  • Replicate rapdily and work hard to fight agaisnt bacteria
  • Die from exhsuation
  • B cells produce anti-bodies which bind to the surface of teh intruder
27
Q

What is E.coli

A
  • There are harmless strains that are found in our guts

-Harmful strains can cause infections, serious urinary probelms which can be caused by food poisoing

28
Q

What is Shigella dysenteriae?

A
  • Stomach ache
  • High contaigous

-fever,cramos, diarrehea

29
Q

What is unquie about Archeaea’s buildup

A
  • Unique gentic code
  • Cell wall and memebrane have unquie chemical makeup
30
Q

Similarties between bacteria and archaea?

A

-Unicelluar
-Prokaryotic
-Gentic material
-Ribosomes
-Cytoplasma
-Can be autotrophs and hetrotrops

-Binary fissions

31
Q

Differences between bacteria and archaea?

A
  • Membrane structure. Archea have a monolipid layer instead of a bilid layer
  • Has unique cell wall. They do not have pipdoglycan

-Some differences in gentics (i.e entry points)
