QuestionAnswer
What are viruses? nonliving particles that are very small
Are cells nonliving? If so, why not? Yes because they aren't made of cells and they can't reproduce
Are they named with binomial nomenclature? No
What's in the inner core of viruses? DNA or RNA
What is the viruses outer protein coat called? Capsid
Do viruses replicate? If so, when? Yes, only inside a host cell and with the help of the host cell
Where must the virus attach in order to reproduce? the host cell's receptor site with attachment protein
What is the lytic cycle? It's when the virus enters the cell, forces the cell to make copies and causes the cell to burst forming new viruses
What can fight a virus's lytic cycle? your immune system
Examples of a virus's lytic cycle.. flu or a cold
What happens in lysogenic cycle? The virus DNA is injected into the provirus, the host cell acts normally (reproducing viruses indefinitely.
How can viral DNA take over the host cell? When the host is exposed to x-rays, UV light, and/or certain chemicals
What happens when the viral DNA takes over the host cell? the host cell bursts releasing new viruses to invade other cells
Examples of lysogenic cycle.. HIV, rabies, STDs
What's a prion? It's a particle that's not really a virus but not anything else
Do prions have RNA and DNA? No; its only protein
Examples of prions... Mad Cow Disease
What kingdom WERE bacteria in? Monera
What kingdom(s) are bacteria in? Eubacteria and Archaebacteria
Do bacteria move or not? If so, how do they? They are motile or sessile; They are motile by flagellum
What are endospores? A highly resistant, thick-walled structure around their DNA formed under harsh conditions
Do endospores disappear? If so, how? Yes, when conditions are favorable
What are the two ways bacteria produce (say which is sexual and asexual)? Binary fission(asexual) and Conjugation (sexual?
What is conjugation?
What kingdom was bacteria in? Monera
What kingdom(s) is bacteria in? Eubacteria and Archaebacteria
What is the cell wall composition of archaebacteria and eubacteria? pseudomurein and peptidoglycan
Do bacteria move? If so, how do they? They are motile and sessile; They move by flagella
What are endospores? Highly resisitant, thick-walled structure around a bacterium's DNA formed under harsh conditions
Can endospores disappear? Yes when conditions are favorable
How do bacteria reproduce? (sexually and asexually) By conjugation and binary fission
What is binary fission? It's when a bacterium produces two identical cells
What's a disadvantage of binary fission? There is little variation unless there's a mutation
What is conjugation? The act in which 2 bacteria exchange genes; it's sexual reproduction that leads to binary fission
What is an advantage of conjugation? It causes variation
How do bacteria conjugate? By their pilus
What is a pilus? A bacteria's extension of a cell wall
What are the uses of bacteria? Decomposers of organic material, industrial processes (food making), agriculture(nitrogen fixation), environment, medicine, sewage treatment,
What is a bacteria that decomposes organic material? saprophytes
Nickname for archaebacteria? ancient bacteria
Where do archaebacteria live? extreme environments
What nickname is archaebacteria given for the place they live in? extremophiles
What are bacteria found in swamps called? methanogens
What are bacteria found in places like the Dead Sea and why are they there? halophiles and they are there because they are salt loving which the Dead Sea is full of
What type of bacteria are found in deep sea vents, bottom of geysers and in volcanoes? thermophiles
What does Eubacteria mean? true bacteria
What two division of eubacteria are there? autotrophs and heterotrophs
What are the 2 kinds of autotrophs? Photoautotrophs and Chemoautotrophs
What color are photoautotrophs? They are cyanobacteria so they are blue-greenish.
What are some common bacterial diseases? Food poisoning, strep throat, bronchitis, tuberculosis, tetanus, many STDs
What are some food poising diseases? salmonella and Clostridium botulinum (Botulism)
What are ways to control bacterial growth? cooking, chemical sterilization/dry heat, freezing, antibiotics, disinfectants, vaccines
What does bacteria need in order to grow? moisture, darkness, warm temperature
Do bacteria need darkness in order to grow? Which type of bacteria cannot grow with darkness? No it's preferred; photoautotrophs
What color is the cell wall if the eubacteria's cell wall is gram positive? purple
What does gram positive mean? It means the cell wall for the eubacteria has lots of peptidoglycan
What color is the cell wall if the eubacteria's cell wall is gram negative? pink
What does gram positive mean? It means the cell wall for the eubacteria does not have lots of peptidoglycan
What are obligate aerobes? They require oxygen
What are obligate anaerobes? no oxygen
What are facultative anaerobes? They use oxygen when present
What are antibodies? proteins that bind to the surface of a virus flagging it for death
What are common viral diseases? measles, mumps, AIDs, chicken pox, polio, rabies, flu
How are lytic and lysogenic cycle alike? The host cell bursts
What is a disease causing agent? pathogen
Give 3 characteristics about protists. All eukaryotes, most are unicellular, either heerotrophic or authotrophic
What are plankton? They are unicellular aquatic organisms
Are protists motile? If so, how? Some are by moving with flagella
