MICRO FINAL

Test 1 Stuff

QuestionAnswer
Which microscopy has an opaque disk in it? Darkfield
Which lets you see a combo of brightfield and darkfield? Phase contrast
Which lets you see surface structs? Which lets you see intracellular stuff? Surface = scanning Intracellular = Tranmission
Which posseses sterols? Euks or Proks? Euks
What is a main threat with fungi? They can have difficult to kill spores
What eukaryotic strucutres posesses its own DNA? Mitochondrion
Difference b/w spriochete and spirlium? Spriochette is longer
What is the order of application of stuff during the gram stain process? 1. Crystal violel, iodine (mordant), alcohol, safranin
Purpose of mordant? To prevent crystal violet from leaving cell
Why is the spore stain important? it is hard to kill spores since bacteria killing stuff doesn't kill spores (released by fungi)
What are mesosomes? Artifacts
How stable is the cell membrane of bacteria? Not very, can lyse
What protcts the cell membrane? Cell wall
What is the most common condition within the cell membrane of the bacterial cell? Hypertonic
Where does bacterial energy synthesis take place? Cell membrance
Is the cell wall found in eukaryotes? No
Why does the gram + stain purple? thicker peptidoglycan doesn't let mordant (iodine) and crystal violet out
What does gram + cells have that gram - don't? And vice versa? Gram + has Techoic acids. Whereas gram - has porins, lipopolysachride (bad for us)
Where is the peptidoglycan found in gram - bacteria? Between what? Periplasmic space; between outer and plasma membrane
Where would you find fimbrea? What is their prupsoe? Attachment and adhesion (important in urinary tract diseases)
What has a role in adhesion? Fimbrea, capsule, slime layer
What is the steps of spore formation? 1. Copy DNA, 2. Put at end 3. 2 membranes 4.peptidoglycan
Why are endospores so hard to kill? They're resistant!
The left side of the figure is catabolic or anabolic? Catabolic
Apenzyme: Needs co-factor to work
Hotoenzyme: Binds to enzyme, never used up
Allosteric inhibition? Somewhere else, not on active site
What binds on active site? Competitive
Are cofactors usually proteins? No
What is the purpose of fermentation? o To get Nad+ so they can go through glycolysis to get 2 ATP
What produces lactic acid, CO2 and ehtanol after gluocose is fed upon it? Fermentatio
Size of Euks, proks, and viruses? 10 micro, 1 micro, 0.1 micro
Where is peptidoglycan located? IN CELL WALL
What do we generate in glycolysis? NADH, 2 ATP, Pyruvic acid
Where does glycolysis feed into? Fermentation
What types of fermentation exist? Long chain fatty acids like costridium perfringes
How does ETC work? Electrons pass from one molecule to another to make membrane proteins which pump protons outside of the cell w/ ATP synthase to make 34 ATPs
End with proton concentration outside and inside cell? High proton concentration outside, low proton concentration inside cell
Which is higher, psychotrops or psychorophiles? Trocphs
Thermophiles are used in what? PCR
What is salt loving? Helophiles
What is a microphile? Wants a specific O2 concentration
Why can't produce ATP in the presence of Oxygen? Facultative anaerobes
Complex media is what type of media? Put in lots of stuff to get lots of bacteria
What are type of vialable count and aerobe vs. anerobe? Pour plate (ane) and spread plate (aerobe)
Is a co-factor a protein or vitamin/ Vitamin
What is the lag phase? Before anything happens
What does the microaerophiles look like? Kinda hanging out in middle of suspension
What is semi-conservative replication? Where one strand of the new DNA product is parent and the other is dauther.
Where does the energy come from to help DNA polymerase make the new DNA? Triphospate from dATP
What enzyme is responsible for mRNA synthesis? RNA polymerase
Where is DNA ligase located? Lagging strand
In what direction is DNA synthesized? 5'-3'
What are the three stop codons? Start codon? UGA, UAA, UAG; Start = AUG
Types of mutations types of mutations
Base substitution: Change one base to another
missense mutation: Change an amino acid sequence by putting in wrong base
Nonsense mutation Earlier wrong substituion = shorter protein
Frameshift mutation: Put in an extra base/take out base = change all AAs
silent mutation: No change in AA
Changing which of the three bases in a nucleotide sequence wouldn't make a difference? Changing the last one
What is recombination? Looks like th two sticks crossing over and has to do with the mouse
How does conjugation take place? What happens? What does this look like? Via pillis; a little bit of one gets into the other; this looks like two oval things
What is transformation/ Giving random gneetic info
What is differnt b/w transformation and conjugatioN/ Direct contact via pilli
When a virus wants to transfer the host DNA into a new one, what is this called? Generalized Tranduction
What is it called when the virus want sa specific target DNA? Specialized Transduction
