viruses and monerans Flashcards
virus made up of
capsid, nucleic acid, tail, tail fibers
how to classify a virus
according to the host
how viruses reproduce
- uses fibers to attach to a host cell
- injects nucleic acid into host cell
- nucleic acid directs the cell to make capsids and more nucleic acids
- each capsid combines with a nucleic acid to complete virus
- cell bursts open because of too many viruses and they go to find other cells
viruses usually attack
a specific kind of organism
smallpox
skin
hepatitis
liver
polio
nerves
rabies
nerves
common colds
respiratory tract
influenzia
respiratory tract
AIDS
immune system
what are monerans
one of the five kingdoms
characteristics of monerans
no organelles
no nucleus
single cell
have cell membrane and wall
flagella
what is flagella
a substance that lets monerans move around in liquids
how to classify monerans
plant or animal/ bacteria or blue-green bacteria
shape
whether or not they use oxygen
cocci
grape like structure, are round or egg shaped
bacilli
rod-shaped, form chains
spirilla
live by themselves, shaped like spirals or corkscrews
aerobes
need oxygen
anaerobes
don’t need oxygen
bacteria
more common than other type, get energy from food
blue-green bacteria
have chlorophyll
how do bacteria reproduce
binary fission
process of bacteria replicating
- cell grows twice its size
2.DNA replicates
3.cell membrane grows, DNA molecules pull apart
4.cell wall pinches off - two identical cells form
