Microbiology Final Exam

TermDefinition
Bacteria that have a mutualistic relationship with their human host? Microbiota
the theory which describes hoe eukaryotes evolved is.... Endosymbiosis
Koch Postulates: 1. Microbe is present in all disease cases but absent from healthy 2. Microbe can be isolated from diseased host and grown in culture 3. Microbe causes same disease when put into healthy animal 4. same strain of microbe is present in new diseased host
A disease causing microorganism is known as? Pathogen
Transport that requires energy - name one molecule that this happens through. Active Transport; transport protein
environment that causes swelling or lysing of a cell is which type? Hypotonic
Diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis are all types of what transport? Passive
A 1 and 3 unit sugar are called what type of carbohydrate? Disaccharide and Monosaccharide
Organisms that create their own organic compounds? Autotrophs
Microbe growing at the very bottom of a broth culture; doesn't require oxygen to live, would be categorized as an ... Anaerobe
A microbe that doesn't grow at the top or bottom? Muicroaerophile
Habitats where an organism can inhabit Fundamental Niche
Where an organism actually lives based upon resources, competition Realized Niche
What type of organisms causes Leishmaniasis? Trypanososmes
What type of organisms causes meningoencephalitis? Amoeba; Naegleria Fowleri
Organisms that have hyphae and chitin cell walls are called? Filamentous Fungus
Major characteristic that defines eukaryotes? membrane bound organelles; nucleus
virus that infects a human patient and can also affect cats - they would be called a virus's... Host range
Which macromolecule and structure allows viruses to attach to a host cell? Protein / spike proteins
types of Bacteriophage infections Lytic and Lysogenic
How many total ATP are generated from one molecule of glucose during aerobic respiration? 38 (2,2,34)
Three processes in order for aerobic respiration? Glycolysis, TCA cycle, ETC/ETS
What macromolecule is a enzyme? protein
smallest unit of DNA? nucleic acid
describe organization of DNA in bacterium? circular with some plasmids
which stage of aerobic cellular respiration generates the most ATP? 3rd and last stage; ETC/ETS
dna replication process in prokaryotes? cytoplasm
dna replication process in eukaryotes? nucleus
Tetanus and botulism affect which anatomical structure? muscles
heat resistance structures formed from firmicutes from lack of nutrients? Endospores
IBD and obesity are associated woth two phyla of bacteria? firmicutes and bacteriodes
biotech process that amplifies DNA and its 3 parts? Polymerase Chain Reaction: denature, prime, extend
biotech process that separates segments of DNA based upon size? gel electrophoresis
labeled and known segments of DNA used to detect specific sequences of nucleotides are called? gene probes
bacteriophages as a normal replication process via a host is called? transduction
body region protected by innate immunity to include acidic pH, lactic acid, touch cell barrier, microbiota? skin
phagocytic white blood cells that can migrate into body tissues? monocytes
two major phagocytic cells of the body? neutrophils and macrophages
reduce number of microbes? bacteriostatic
kill microbes? bacteriocidal
does freezing/drying kill microbes? what does it do? no does not kill, is bacteriostatic and reduces reproduction/slows down metabolic activity
way of sterilzation? autoclave
disinfection of bevrages? pasteurization
numerus leukocytes that are phagocytic? neutrophils
what are basophils/eosinophiles? release toxics to the microbe; inflammation
aerobes? sit at the top of a test tube
phototroph? uses light as a energy source
autotroph? Produces: make their own nutrients from the inorganic substances (carbon dioxide).
isotonic? equal tension solution; can be used to replace lost salts and fluids from the human body
heterotrophs? consumers: cannot produce its own food, consumes nutrients from other sources like plants or animals
lithotroph? microorganisms that use inorganic compounds as electron donors to conserve energy for growth.
chemotroph? organisms that obtain energy by the oxidation of reduced compounds
organotroph? organism that obtains hydrogen or electrons from organic substrates.
Steps of Viral Replication? 1. attach 2. enter host 3. released RNA/DNA 4. replicate virus 5. reconstruct host cell 6. on to next cell
3 levels of cell evolution Archaea, the Bacteria, and the Eukarya
4 macromolecules and smallest structure Nucleic Acid - basic unit is nucleotide Carbohydrates - monosaccharide (single sugar) Lipids (fat) - glycerol, fatty acids Proteins - amino acid
