Q

what is different about a retrovirus

A

they have a large latent period where people are unaware that there is a virus presentthey insert into the chromosomes in the nucleus of the cell

Q

describe the process of a normal virus affecting an organism

16
Q

do virus’ reproduce

A

yes but not alone a host cell does the reproduction using the instructions of the viral DNA

17
Q

do animals have centrioles

18
Q

do prokaryotes have 80s ribsomes

19
Q

how do prokaryotes respire

A

using the mesosome

20
Q

what has a plasmodesmata

21
Q

what is endosymbiotic theory

A

a theory that describes the origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts

22
Q

evidence that chloroplasts come from free living cells

A

the have their own circular DNA and have 70S ribosomes the same as prokaryotes

23
Q

what bacteria have chloroplasts evolved from

A

cyanobacteria

24
Q

how did the free living cells ‘get into’ the prokaryote cells

A

through the endocytosis allowing them to come into the cell and evolving to live within that cell, over time forming an animal or plant cell

25
what type of relationship did the prokaryotes and mitochondria have
a symbiotic relatinship - the prokaryote protected the mitochondria and the mitochondria produced energy for the cell
26
what is robert hooke famous for
used a simple microscope to observe a slice of cork he observd shape that reminded hm of monks living quarters and so named the structure 'cells'
27
what are the three tenets of cell theory
all living organisms are composed of one or more cells the cell is the most basic unit of life all cells arise from pre existing living cells by biogenesis
28
what four types of tissues do mammals have
epithelial, muscular, nervous and connective
