QuestionAnswer
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)
Name the 3 bacteria structures and their functions External structure- move,adhere to surfaces or infect host,Cell envelope- provides structure, protection, Internal structure-contains cytoplasm,ribosome,plasmids
Identify which structures all bacteria possess compared to the structures that some, but not all, bacteria possess. all have a cell membrane,cytoplasm,ribosomes,cytoskeleton,1 or more chromosome. Most but not all have a cell wall and a surface coating called a glycocalyx some but not all have an outer membrane,pili,fimbriae,plasmids,endospores
what are inclusion bodies? bacteria create them to respond to environmental conditions,ex. to store nutrients,pack gas to help provide buoyancy
what are (prokaryotic)plasmids double stranded DNA circle containing extra genes
what are ribosomes tiny particle containing protein and RNA
Describe three major shapes of prokaryotes Coccus-sphere shaped,Bacillus-Rod shaped, Spirillum-spiral shaped
Describe the structure and function of different types of bacterial appendages flagella-a hook shape appendage that rotates 360 degrees for motility. Pilus-adhesion and mating(conjugation). Fimbriae-adhesion
what is monotrichous single flagellum
what is lophotrichous? small bunches of flagella emerging from one end
what is amphitrichous? flagella at both poles(ends)
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-
what causes walking pneumonia Mycoplasma pneumoniae - very small bacteria with no cell wall. They adhere to epithelial cells in the lungs
What is chemo taxis Flagellated bacteria can move in response to chemical signals positive chemotaxis(nutrient) negative chemotaxis is away from a harmful chemical
Name the parts of the cell envelope,outside to in outer membrane(gram -),cell wall(peptidoglycan),cell membrane(phospholipid bilayer)
List the types of Eukaryotic microorganisms Fugi,helmith,protozoans,arthropods
describe the eukaryotic cell structures and their organelles and their function External-appendages(cilia,flagella,slimes,glycocalyx) Boundry structure-cell wall,cytolplasmic membrane. Internal structures-cytoplasm,nucleus,ribosomes,cytoskeleton,organelles(mitochondria,goli apparatus,chloroplasts,endoplasmic reticulum,lysosomes)
Explain the importance of ribosomes the staging area for protein synthesis
whats the diff between prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes Prokaryotic ribosomes are smaller 50s 30s=70s/ eukaryotic ribosomes are 60s 40s=80s
heterotrophic acquire nutrients from organic sources
saprobe obtain substrates from dead plants or animals
Parasite feed off a living host
Diagram the possible configurations that nucleic acid viruses may possess and their process of replication DNA or RNA,but not both. Double stranded or single stranded DNA Double stranded or single stranded RNA DNA viruses are replicated in the nucleus,RNA in the cytoplasm
Name the structure parts of a virus covering-capsid ,envelope(not found in all viruses) Central core-Nucleic acid molecule DNA or RNA, Matrix proteins/enzymes(not found in all viruses)
Identify and describe the five-step life cycle of animal viruses. Compare and contrast animal virus life cycle to that of the bacteriophage life cycle. 1. absorption 2. penetration or uncoating 3. synthesis. 4. assembly 5.release The diff. with bacteriophage life cycle is that the replicated virus is released when the cell is destroyed
what is the enzyme found in retrovirus reverse transcriptase-converts RNA genomes into DNA
List the essential nutrients of a bacterial cell. Carbon,hydrogen,oxygen,nitrogen,phosphate, sulfur
Define fastidious an organism needs specific nutrients to grow,example Neisseria gonorrhoeae,requires blood or hemoglobin
Discuss the types of membrane transport. Passive- simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion(molecule binds to a receptor) Active-Endocytosis=stuff going into cell phagocytosis=solids in pinocytosis=liquids in
If a patient is dehydrated what kind of IV? Hypotonic(more water in bag to get drawn into patient)
If a patient has brain swelling what kind of IV Hypertonic(less water in bag to draw water from patient)

commensalism one benefits the other isn't harmed
parasitism parasite needs host and host is harmed
Identify the phases of growth in a bacterial growth curve and the events that occur within each lag phase,exponential growth phase(log),stationary phase,death phase
lag phase cells aren't growing,the cells are adjusting
