| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The cell | is the fundamental unit of any living organism because it exhibits the basic characteristics of life. |
| The two catagories of cells: | Eucaryotic(more complex) and procaryotic |
| Procaryotic microbes: | Bacteria and archaea (Cellular) |
| Eucaryotes | algae, protozoa, fungi (Cellular) plant, animals, and humans. |
| Microbes not composed of cells | viruses, prions, viroids |
| Viruses | acellular: not living |
| Cellular | procaryotes (archaea, bacteria, cyanobacteria) |
| Acellular (energy from host) | viroids, prions, viruses |
| Eurotic cells contain a ________ nucleus. | "true" |
| procaryotic cells | do not have a true nucleus |
| a true nucleus consists of: | nucleoplasm, chromosomes, and nuclear membrane. |
| Eucaryotic cells possess: | a complex system of membranes and membrane bound organelles |
| Procaryotic cells | do not possess a complex of membranes and membrane bound organelles |
| eucaryotic and procaryotic cells possess | a cell membrane: selectiv permeability, allowing certain substances to pass through them. |
| Eucaryotic nucleus | "command center" 3 components: nucleoplasm, chromosomes, and nuclear membrane. |
| Chromosomes are embedded in: | the nucleopasm |
| eucaryotic chromosomes consist of: | linear DNA molecules and proteins |
| Genes are located | along chromosomes. |
| An organism's complete collection of genes are referred to as its | genotype or genome (beads on a string) |
| each gene contains | information to produce one or moree gene products (usually protein) |
| A semi-fluid, gelatinous, nutrient matrix. Contains storage granules and a variety of organelles.Each organelle has a specific function. Is where most metobalic reactions occur | Cytoplasm |
| ER | highly convoluted system of membranes, transport network,in the cytoplasm |

| escape from their host cells either by lysis of the cell or budding. | animal viruses |
| escape by budding | become envelope viruses |
| penetration of host cell by non-enveloped virus via endocytosis. Penetration by an enveloped virus | summary of lytic process |
| phages, virus that infect bacteria, 2 catagories: virulent and temperate. | bacteriophages |
| always cause lytic cycle which end with destruction of the cell | virulent |
| attatchment,penetration, biosynthesis, assembly, released | 5 steps of the Lytic Cycle |
| bacteria that recycle nutrients, produce antibiotic, and preserve food. Very few are harmful or cause disease. 1000nm | Procaryote |
| cellular, selective permability: archaea,bacteria, and cyanobacteria. Do not have true nucleus, do have cell membrane | procaryotes |
| Peritrichous bacteria | procaryotic and have flagella over entire surface |
| lophotrichous bacteria | flagella at one end like an octopus |
| amphitrichous bacteria | have one flagella at each end |

| DNA duplicate, seperate into sporangium and forespore,sporangium engulf forespore then produce spore layer around forespore,cortex and outer coat layer divide, last a completely formed mature spore | endospore formation |
| sporulation | nutrition depletion(maj stimulus),once depleted it is comitted to forming endospore and is now called sporulationg cell(sporagium) takes 6-10 hrs |
| Why are endospores heat resistant? | presence of dipicolinic acid combined with calcium ions; which help dehydrate endospore. Also core contains small proteins that help protect DNA from drying and damage. |
| How do you destroy a endospore? | temp @ least 112'C(autoclave) because they are resistant to drying, uv light, strong acids and bases |
| to break dormancy of the endospore good condition for growth of cell is a must. Has to be a specific chemcal/ enviromental stimulus(amino acids/inorganic salt) along w/ inorganic salt. with water. | germination of endospore |
