Q

Virus(phage) used to transfer one bacterium to another. Phage causes host cell to mass produce DNA which are packaged into viral capsids. During, some of bacterial DNA (sliced when virus invaded) now can invade new bacterium passing along genes

Harmful bacteria

A

Pneumonia
Blood poisoning
Food spoilage
Too the decay

19
Q

Helpful bacteria

A

Making cheese yogurt wine
Help herbivore digest cellulose
Remove pollutants from soil air water, sewage treatment

20
Q

Virus: What kingdom and are they living

A

No, no cuz no reproduce no cells no grow

21
Q

Bacteriophage

A

A virus that infects bacteria

22
Q

Virus

A

Obligate intracellular parasites-need host cell to reproduce
Only infect within host range
Host cell replicates unable to do job therefore sick

23
Q

Lytic cycle

A

Host cell completely destroyed - lysis

Reproduction can occur rapidly

24
Q

Lysogenic cycle

A

Host cell not destroyed immediately

Viral DNA remains dormant inside host cell for a good time

25
Q

Viroids

A

Very small infectious piece of RNA responsible for diseases in plants

26
Q

Prion

A

Weird shaped infectious protein responsible for brain diseases of mammals

27
Q

External defences

A

Skin- sweat kills
Upper respiratory tract- ,mucus kills cilia trap
Stomach - acid
Eyes- tears

28
Q

Internal defences

A

Macrophages- wbc that seek and destroy

Body produces antibodys specifically for invaders - antigens renders bacteria inactive

29
Q

Active immunity

A

Body makes own antibodies

30
Q

Passive immunity

A

Already made antibody passed in to blood stream

31
Q

Difference btw antibiotics antiseptics and disinfectants

A

Anti- medicine taken internally produced by bacteria or fungi
Antiseptic- weaker chemicals than disinfectants used on human skin
Disinfectants- strong chemicals to sterilize surfaces of tools clothes…
