Microbio L4

QuestionAnswer
Eukaryotes: uni- and multicellular organisms with a nucleus and membrane bound organelles Can reproduce asexually or sexually
Endosymbiotic Theory: the ancestor of eukaryotes engulfed a prokaryote that underwent reductive evolution to become an organelle (mitochondria) Happened again for chloroplasts
Mitosis: one round of division; makes identical daughter cells (with same amount of DNA) ASEXUAL reproduction- cloning
Meiosis: two rounds of division, makes daughter cells with half the amount of DNA SEXUAL reproduction- gametes undergo fusion, creates diversity
What are the 4 kingdoms of eukaryotes? 1. Animilia 2. Plantae 3. Fungi 4. Protista
Animalia Multicellular, not usually microscopic (although pre-mature forms can be) Helminths: parasitic worms, microscopic eggs/larvae Round vs flat worms Many arthropods act as vectors Animals that carry and spread infectious microbes
Plantae Multicellular, perform photosynthesis Have cellulose cell walls Have chloroplasts Do not cause infectious disease!! But microbes may live on their surface/within
Fungi Mostly multicellular (yeasts are uni), absorb nutrient from the environment (saprobes) Cell walls made of chitin Grow as hyphae: root-like system Can be septate or aseptate
Fungal Spores Reproduce by releasing diverse spores Can be made via sexual or asexual reproduction Not as hardy as prokaryotic spores
Fungal Diseases Most fungi don’t cause disease Many are useful! Food, medicine Some other cause disease only in weakened individuals Opportunistic pathogens, like yeast Some are true pathogens ringworm Some create potent toxins (but are not infectious)
Protists Extremely diverse, single/multi celled (or colonial), sexual or asexual, some cell walls some not, some photosynthesize some not Example: slime molds, algae, kelp Protozoans: heterotrophic, no cell wall, unicellular Potential to infect
Protozoans: heterotrophic, no cell wall, unicellular Potential to infect Example: toxoplasmosis, giardia, malaria, and more
What are the 4 types of Protozoans? 1. Amoeboid 2. Flagellated 3. Cilliated 4. Spore Forming
Amoeboids Move pseudopods (like reaching out with their arms and legs) Push cytoplasm and pull themselves forwards Phagocytosis (discuss shortly)
Flagellates Move using flagella- long tails
Ciliates Move using cilia Like many shorter flagella Have a specialized “mouth” structure
Spore Formers (Apicomplexans) Move by gliding Obligate parasites, complex life cycles Have a spore like form called merozoites Use vectors to spread CAN’T LIVE ON THEIR OWN
Phagocytosis: taking in large food particles, fusing with digestive vesicles (lysosome)
Exocytosis: used to secrete things and repair the membrane
Endocytosis: a process in which a cell takes in materials from the outside by engulfing and fusing them with its plasma membrane
Do animal cells have cell walls? NO
Do plant cells have cell walls? YES
Do fungi cells have cell walls? YES
Do protista cells have cell walls? most do not have a cell wall, some have cell walls made of minerals
Eukaryotic Glycocalix Exterior sugars, for defense and sticking to things For multicellular organisms, also important for tissue development
Motility of Eukaryotic? Flagella and cilia
How doe Eukaryotic cells move their flagellas? WHIP LIKE
The ribosomes of a Eukaryotic cell are ______ than a Prokaryotic cell BIGGER
Name some Eukaryotic Organelles? - Mitochondria - Golgi Apparatus - Lysosomes - Ribosomes - Chloroplasts -Nucleus - ER -

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
