Q

what did stanley millers experiment prove?

A

proved that organic molecules needed for life could be formed from inorganic components.
they were formed under conditions thought to simulate those of early Earth and proves how life started

classifies organisms and determines their evolutionary
relationships.
Cladistics is the most common way, Common ancestry is used to group organisms into clades.

-cell composition

84
Q

What is the lytic cycle?

A

when a virus is exiting a cell it causes it to rupture (lysis)

85
Q

what is the lysogenic cycle?

shaped “body” with tail fibers. (mini spider)

87
Q

how do viruses enter a cell

A

-by injecting genetic info to host cell
- by attaching to a cells receptor and entering thru endocytosis

88
Q

how do viruses exit a cell

A

-lytic cycle, cause cell to rupture
-lysogenic cylce, cause cell to reproduce w virus in each one

89
Q

What is an emerging virus and what contributes to their creation?

A

appears suddenly and is new to science. (HIV or COVID).
-mutation
-increased contact w species

91
Q

what is a retrovirus

A

contain an enzyme called reverse transcriptase. This transcribes an RNA into DNA, which is the opposite of normal transcription

Can you catch a cold from being cold?

A

no, being cold as a human actually increases immune func

Q

whats the cause for common colds

A

rhinoviruses

96

100
Q

what is photoautotrophic bacteria

A

they get energy from the sun to make organic molecules out of CO2

101

what is Photoheterotrophic bacteria

A

they get energy from sunlight but carbon from organic sources

have three tissue layers,
a complete digestive tract,
a pseudocoelom
has organs
use parthenogenesis to repro

149
Q

whats is parthenogenesis?

A

a process where an organism produces diploid eggs that do not need to be fertilized and will turn into females, rotifer use this

150
Q

what are Nematodes, round worms?

A

bilaterally symmetrical,
have 3 tissue layers and a pseudocoelom
complete dig tract

humans can host them

151
Q

what are Tardigrades? what can they withstand in tun state?

A

bilateral symmetry, a complete digestive system, 3-tissue layers, mostly a pseudocoelom
plant-eating,
in tun state, theyre lifeless and can withstand extreme temps.

152
Q

what is cryptobiosis (tun state)?

A

tardigrade/water bears, they pull in their head and legs, lose most of their water and go into a state of suspended animation. In this “tun” state they are lifeless and can withstand 0 water, super high temperatures, super low
temperatures, and radiation levels

153
Q

what are Molluscas? what are their body planes?

A

Includes slugs, snails, oysters, clams, octopuses and squid (soft bodies)

allows them to avoid competition, gather food,
