| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Differentiate between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms | Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and organelles Prokaryotic cells do not |
| identify 3 characteristics all cells share | They have chromosomes containing DNA,and have ribosomes for protein synthesis. Their protoplasm is encased in the cell or in the cytoplasmic membrane. |
| What is the first level of protein structure? | 1.Primary,The type order and number of amino acids in a chain |
| What is the secondary level of protein structure? | 2.Secondary,Functional groups on the molecule surface form hydrogen bonds causing the amino acid chain to twist into beta pleated sheats or alpha helix some proteins contain both types of secondary configurations |
| What is the tertiary level of protein structure? | 3.Tertiary,created by side chains of some amino acids,they pull everything to shape the protein |
| What is the quaternary level of protein structure? | 4.Quaternary,more than one polypeptide forms a large multi unit protein. |
| How does protein structure lead to function? | The outcome of the various forms of bonding and folding is that a more complex protein will display more distinctive patterns of pockets and bulges, needed for enzymes/antibodies (key in lock) |
| How are proteins denatured? | The 3 dimensional form of a protein is termed "the native state" heat acid or alchol as well as some disinfectants will disrupt(denature) the stabilizing bonds and cause the molecule to become nonfunctional |
| How do you write the correct Binomial name for microorganisms? | generic part is capitalized and the species part is lower cased the entire name is italicized and if written by hand, underline each portion of the entire name |
| Identify the 3 major domains and give examples of each | Eukarya(humans,protozoans), bacteria(Chlamydias,E.coli) and archaea (halobacteriales, methano coccales) |

| Differentiate between the two main types of bacterial envelope structure. (Gram pos vs. Gram neg) | Gram positive cell wall has a thick layer of peptidoglycan and a cell membrane, gram negative cell wall has a thin single layer of peptidoglycan sandwiched between a cell membrane and an outer membrane |
| Name a substance in the envelope structure (discussed in greater detail in chapter 11)of some bacteria that can cause severe symptoms in humans. | The gram negative outer membrane contains lipopolysaccharide LPS wich is called an endotoxins because it stimulates fever or shock reaction in gram negative infections such as meningitis or typhoid LPS is released during cell lyseing |
| why are penicillin and cephalosporins effective against gram negative bacteria? | because they target the peptide cross links in the peptidoglycan thus making the integrity of the cell wall causing the cell to burst(lysis) |
| Identify five requirements for infections and bacterial structures that help fulfill those requirements. | 1.Enter the host-Pili,2.Firm Attachment-fimbriae,capsule,pili,slimes 3.Surviving the host-glycocalyx,capsule 4.Cause damage-direct damage through enzymes indirect-capsule(produces a harmful host response)fluid in the lungs,5.Exit- |
