Q

Lysogenic cycle steps

A

Attachment, Nucleic acid entry, integration (virus is incorporated into host dna), replication, viral dna is copied w dna so infected

Q

Retroviruses

A

Arnie viruses that replaced by transcribing it’s our need to DNA and then putting their DNA in the cellular DNA
Ex hiv

Q

In harsh conditions

A

Fruiting bodies are formed in which bact do diff tasks leading to cooperation and more efficiency to survive harshness

Q

Binary fission steps

A
  1. Copies dna
  2. Chrom move to opp sides of cell
  3. Cell grows
  4. Cell pinches into two identical cells

18
Q

Bacteria reproduce asexually by binary fission ir sexually by conjugation

19
Q

Transformation

A

When A bacterial cell takes in DNA from its outside environment

20
Q

Conjugation

A

When one bacteria transfers its DNA to another bacteria cell

21
Q

Transduction

A

When a virus transfers bacterial DNA from one bacteria to another

22
Q

Transposition

A

The movement of DNA segments within and between DNA molecules

23
Q

Bacteria modes of nutrition

A
Photsynthesis
Chemosynthesis (Capture free energy from small in organic molecules) autotrophs no oxygen, heterotrophs
24
Q

Obligate aerobes

A

Organisms that must have oxygen for cellular respiration and cannot grow without it

25
Obligate anaerobes
Organisms that die in the presence of oxygen live only on fermentation
26
Facultative anaerobes
Use oxygen if it is available, but when oxygen not available undergo fermentation
27
Metabolic cooperation
Cooperation between prokaryotic cells allows them to use environmental resources they cannot use as individuals
28
Thermophiles
Live hot environments
29
Halophiles
Live salty environments
30
Methanogens
Use carbon dioxide to oxidize hydrogen and produce methane as a waste product
31
Protists include
All eukaryotes that are not plants animals and fungi, most unicellular
32
Protists nutrition
Photsynthesis or heteroptrophs or mixotrophs (can both photosyn and heterotroph)
33
For energy in protists
Most use aerobic respiration and have mitochondria
34
Reproduction in protists
Asexual, sexual in meiosis or fertilization, fruiting body mechanism in harsh conditions by releasing spores
35
Most protists are
Aquatic and havd origins in endosymbiosis
36
Most fungi are
Multicellular filaments
37
Fungi food
Heterotrophs, obtain nutrients through absorption- secrete exoenzymes which break down food
38
Some fungi live as decomposers others as parasites
Some live as mutualists
39
Symbiotic relationships w fungi
Mycorrhizae: when a fungus lives symbiotically it with plants usually attached to the root Fungi absorbs ground nutrients and get em from stuff made by plant Lichens: when a fungus lives symbiotically with a photosynthetic micro organism such as green algae or cyanobacteria Fungus absorbs water and minerals from air and other provides food and energy thru photosyn
40
Fungi are found
For most everywhere
41
Fungi structure
Cell wall=chitin Made of tiny threadlike filaments called hyphae Many hyphae form mycelium, which infiltrates the material on which fungus feeds
42
Mycelium structure maximizes its
Surface area to volume ratio making feeding efficient
43
Asexual fungi reproduction
Make haploid spores released from fruiting bodies Fragmentation: mycel breaks off Budding: small cell forms and pinches off as full sized
44
Sexual fungi reproduction
Hyphae from 2 diff mycel release phermones amd move towards other, haploid hyphae fuse, if nuclei not fused imed then called heterokaryon, nuclei fuse forming diploid zygote, new zygote does meiosis and makes haploid spores= new fungi
