Question | Answer |
---|---|
A virus consists of | Capsid ( protein coated head where nucleic acids are contained); lipid rich envelope( in some viruses) |
Virus envelope is made from | either borrowed from host of made from host cytoplasm |
A virus can contain in their Capsid either | DNA or RNA ( NEVER BOTH) |
Virus gets energy from | ATP made by the host, THEY do NOT metabolize their own organic nutrients |
mature virus outside of host cell | virion |
Virus are NOT seperated by their external environment by | cell wall's or membranes like living organisms have |
virus attach to ________ on host membrane cell | chemical receptor called a glycoprotein |
Viruses that infect cells are engulfed via | endocytic process |
Lytic cycle | virus injects its NA in to the host cell and takes over its reproductive machinery , making new viruses. Then it ruptures and all the new viruses are released into the host |
Period from infection to lysis= | latent period |
A virus following the lytic cycle= | virulent virus |
In a lysogenic cycle= | the viral DNA is incorporated into the host genome ; or the viral RNA uses reverse transciptase to make viral DNA |
virus in lysogenic cycle= | temperate virus |
Dormant or Latent virus ( not virulent viral DNA in Host DNA) in a lysogenic cycle in a bacteria host | prophage, provirus |
what activates a dormant or latent viral DNA | carcinogens or UV light |
Unenveloped plus- strand RNA is responsible for | the common cold |
NOT ALL animal viruses are | enveloped |
ENveloped plus- strand RNA is responsible for | retrovirus (aids) |
Minus strand RNA is responsible for | measles, rabies and the flu |
Minus strand RNA is the complement to mRNA and must be transcribed to __________ before being translated | plus strand RNA |
RNA viruses are ____ stranded | double |
DNA viruses are ______ stranded | double and single |
Viroids | small rings of naked RNA that ONLY infect plants |
Prions | naked proteins that infect ANIMALS; and can reproduce with or without DNA or RNA |
Vaccine | injection of antibodies OR injection of nonpathogenic virus with the same capsid or envelope |
Bacteriophage (virus that infect bacteria) | tail, tail fibers, base plate |
2 Domains of prokaryotes: | Archae( salty lakes and boiling hot springs) & bacteria |
Which domain of prokaryote has similiarities close to eukaryotes? | Archae |
prokaryotes | DO not have a membrane bound nucleus |
Which kingdom contains all prokaryotes? | Monera |
Autotrouphs use _____ and Heterotrauphs use _____ as a carbon source | CO2; organic matter |
Phototrauphs use _____ and CHemotrauphs use ____ as a energy source | light; oxidation of organic or inorganic matter |
Nitrogen fixation | N2 is converted into ammonia |
Nitrification | 2 step process that turns ammonia into nitrates |
Difference btwn Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes? | Prokaryotes= no nucleus ;; Eukaryotes= atleast one nucleus |
Instead of a nucleus prokaryote have | circular double stranded DNA |
nuceloid ( NOT enclosed in a membrane) in prokaryotes | contains RNA, DNA, proteins |
rigid helix bacteria | spirilla |
non- rigid helix bacteria | spirochetes |
Prokaryotes have | simple organelles that are not membrane bound like...mesosome, nuceloid, ribosomes, special ETC, Plasma membrane, DOESNT have histones though |
Prokaryotes have DNA or RNA? | RNA |
How are Eu membranes diff than Pro membranes? | Prokaryotic membranes DO NOT contain steroids (cholesterol) |
How are Eu membranes and Pro membranes similiar? | phospholipid membranes ( 1 phosphate+ glycerol backbone + 2 fatty acids) & glycolipids |
When phopholipids aggregate they make a | micelle |
the cytosol of nearly all prokaryotes has a phospholipid bilayer called a | plasma membrane |
inner and outer layers of a membrane are called | leaflets |
WHat holds the membrane together? | intermoleculat forces, so membrane is fluid and can move LATERALLY ONLY |
Eukaryotic membrane has reduced fluididty because of | cholersterol ( hoponoids) |
Brownian motion | molecules bumping into eachother in a membrane |
semipermeable | slows down diffusion but DOES not stop it |
polar of charged molecules pass through the membrane by | leakage channels (incidental proteins) |
passive diffusion across a membrane depends on ? | lipid solubility ( are u non polar enough to slide through?) and size ( are you small enough to go through cracks inbetween integral proteins) |
If ur big and polar and want to go through the membrane then do.. | facilliated diffusion ( helper protein to open up space for u to go through) |
Active transport= | go against conc. grdient ( size and polarity dont matter here) |
bacterial plasma membrane = surrounded by | bacterial envelope |
Gram + bacteria | thick peptidoglycan cell walls; stain purple |
Gram - bacteria | thin peptidoglycan cell wall; stain pink |
most bacteria have a ____ cytosol | HYPERtonic ( inside(cytosol) has more particles than outside) |
HYPOtonic | inside (cytosol) cell has less particles than outside |
hydrostatic pressure= osmotic pressure | filling stops |
Flagella | long, hollow, rigid, helical cylinders made from globular protein ( flagellin) |
Bacteria DO or DO NOT do sexual reproduction ( meiosis/ mitosis) | DO NOT |
Bacteria reproduce by asexually | conjugation, transduction, transformation / binary fission |
F plasmid can be in the form of a | episome ( plasmid that gets integrated into the chromosome) |
CONJUGATION | one bacteria has a plasmid (genes that code for sex pilus) , and F plasmid/factor |
Transformation ( may occur in lab or lyses) | process by which bacteria incorporate DNA from their external environment into their genome |
when a phage transfers bacterial DNA from one host to another | transduction |
Endospores come from gram ____ bacteria, and can be dormant for years | positive |
Example of transformation:: | one sensitive bacteria and one resistant bacteria are in a lab and through transformation the sensitive bacteria can get the resistant gene |
rodshaped | bacillus |
spherical | cocci |
Plants and Fungi are divided into ___ and not phyla | divisions |
3 divisions of fungi | Ascomycota, Basidiomycota( mushroom), Zygomycota |
oomycota (slime molds & water molds) | Are not true fungi and are in kingdom Protista |
Fungi are | Eukaryotic heterotrophs ( get food from absorbtion and not ingestion) |
Fungi are _____ | saprophytic |
Fungi cell walls= | septa |
septa is made from polysachairde= | chitin( more resistant to microbial attack than cellulose) |
exoskeleton of arthropods are made from | chitin |
arthropods are | insects and crustaceans |
All fungi are multicellular except | yeast (unicellular) |
fungi that possess no cell walls except in sexual structures | zygomycota |
Fungal cells contain how many nuclei? | one or more |
Fungi lack____ | centrioles |
Mitosis in fungus takes place entirely in | nucleus and nuclear ENVELOPE never breaks down |
In fungi's growth stage, the tangled mass is called | myecilium |
myecelium has thread like branches called | hyphae (haplid) |
fungi's predominate stage, especially during growth, is | haploid |
asexual reproduction in fungi | hyphae's sporangium makes haploid spores; budding (cell fission) occurs, hyphae lengthens through mitosis |
sexual reproduction | hyphae from to diff mycelium do congugation (+ and -); diploid state; meiosis occurs |
fungi have both ____ and ___ characterisitics | plant like and animal like |
