Q

GROWTH CURVE OF BACTERIA

A

Lag phase - adapting to environment
Log phase - rapid growth, abundant resources
Stationary phase - birth rate = death rate
Death phase - decline due to competition
Survival phase - small number survive as spores

Q

Bioreactor

A

A container in which living cells or their products are used to make a product

22
Q

Batch flow production

A

Growth of cells in a bioreactor over a short period of time, under ideal conditions until all nutrients are used up

23
Q

Continuous flow production

A

Growth of cells in a bioreactor where nutrients are added and the end products are removed all the time at a rate that maintains the volume of liquid and number of cells

24
Q

Features of fungi

A

• heterotrophic
• eukaryotic
• made up of hyphae
• walls made of chitin (carbonydrate)

25
Q

What carbohydrate is found in the walls of fungi?

A

Chitin

26
Q

Example & explanation of an obligate parasite

A

Only take food from a live host and require host to reproduce
↳ athletes foot

27
Q

Example & explanation of a facultative parasite

A

Can get food from a live or dead host
↳ soft rot

28
Q

Why are saprophytes important?

A

They play a role in decomposition

29
Q

Q

DIAGRAM OF RHIZOPUS

A
32
Q

In rhizopus, what is the role of the stolon?

A

Allows for horizontal spreading

33
Q

In rhizopus, what is the role of the rhizoid?

A

Anchorage and absorption

34
Q

In rhizopus, what is the role of the sporangiophore?

A

Reproduction

35
Q

Sporulation

A

Process of making spores

36
Q

Asexual reproduction in rhizopus (name & explanation)

A

Sporulation
• sporangium produces spores by mitosis
• haploid spores transported by wind to substrate

↳ occurs more frequently as only one parent present

37
Q

What causes sexual reproduction in rhizopus?

A

Happens in adverse conditions e.g. drought

40
Q

How does yeast reproduce?

A

Asexually by budding
• parent divides by mitosis, daughter nuclei enters small developing bud on surface
• bud separates to become a new individual

41
Q

Beneficial uses of fungi

A

Yeast used to produce alcohol
Mushrooms as a food source

42
Q

How does yeast respire?

A

Anaerobically in a process called fermentation

43
Q

In amoeba, what is the function of the pseudopod?

A

Extends in direction amoeba wishes to move
Used to engulf & digest prey

44
Q

What is the role of the contractile vacuole in amoeba?

A

Osmoregulation

45
Q

What would happen to amoeba if it did not have a contractile vacuole?

A

It would expand and burst

A

Population control

49
Q

Describe batch processing

A

Fixed amount of nutrients added at start, bacteria goes through all phases of growth curve, product removed at the end

50
Q

  2. Excess water enters contractile vacuole
  3. Contractile vacuole swells and touches cell membrane
  4. Contractile vacuole expels water
