Microbio Exam 1

Microbio

QuestionAnswer
addition of a phosphate group to a molecule, often from ATP, increasing the energy phosphorylation
the metabolic pathway to break down glucose glycolysis
the loss of electrons and hydrogen atoms oxidation
the gain of electrons and hydrogen atoms reduction
What is the most general taxonomic classification? Domain
What is the most specific taxonomic classification? Species
Taxonomic classification pneumonic Domain, King Philip Crossed Over For Good Something
All prokaryotic cells are _________ celled single
Prokaryotic cells have _______ nuclear membrane no
Prokaryotic cell walls are made of peptidoglycan
Prokaryotic cells do NOT have an _________ such as mitochondria organelle
Eukaryotic cells do/do NOT have nuclear membranes do
Eukaryotic cells do not have peptidoglycan in the cell _____ wall
Eukaryotic cells have many ____________ such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum organelles
Living things: RADICALS Reproduce, Access ATP, DNA, Interact w/ environment, Cell membrane, Attain homeostatsis, Like evolving, Show off growth
Microorganisms are able to convert nitrogen into a more ______ form (available to plants) usable
Used to make dairy, beer, pickle and bread products Bacteria
-ia plural
-um singular
Can produce certain chemicals, i.e. insulin genetic engineering
Organisms that live in extreme environments Archaea
E. coli is in the Domain Bacteria
Examples of Bacteria Molds, Algae, Mushrooms, Yeasts (fungi)
Scientific testing OQHMRC
Protons and neutrons exist in the nucleus, electrons _________ the nucleus orbit
urine pH=6 is acidic
pH 14 is basic or base
pH 7 is neutral
What is the difference between organic and inorganic? ALL organic molecules have Carbon & Hydrogen (carbs, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids)
DNA base pairs A-T G-C
RNA base pairs A-U G-C
Enzymes _________ chemical reactions increase
Composed of amino acids; composes enzymes proteins
Composition includes a nitrogen, phosphorus, and a 5-C base; Composes genes nucleic acids
DNA and RNA two types of a nucleic acid
Made of saccharides; Preferred energy source; starch, cellulose, glycogen carbohydrates
Energy storage molecules lipids
Carbohydrates in cell membranes can act as markers; chemically recognizable for immunological purposes
composed of a phospholipid bilayer, directly surrounds cytoplasm cytoplasmic membrane
composed of peptidoglycan, provides rigidity cell wall
part of a cell envelope some species have, can be a capsule or slime layer glycocalyx
"resembles a nucleus," where the chromosome is located within a cell nucleoid
in a cell, extra DNA material not in the nucleoid; related to antibacterial resistance plasmid
site of protein synthesis within a cell ribosome
extension of cytoplasmic membrane; helps with adherence or transfer of genetic material pili
site that stores nutrients within a cell granules
Superficial to Deep: Glycocalyx, cell wall, cytoplasmic membrane
Gram positive has no outer membrane, teichoic acid to help with adherence, and a thick cell wall
Gram negative has an outer membrane, lipoprotein, and a thin cell wall
Baccilus rod-shaped bacteria
Coccus globe-shaped bacteria
Streptococci chain-link shaped bacteria
Staphylococci bunch of grapes-shaped bacteria
can cause disease in the human body and food spoilage mesophiles
found in Antartica and refrigerators, causes food spoilage psychrophiles
found in hot springs, compost and water heaters thermophiles
members of Archaea found in hydrothermal vents extreme thermophiles
bacteria with flagella around the perimeter are known as peritrichous
bacteria with lots of flagella out of one end of the organism is known as polar lophotrichous
3 ways target microbial cells w/out harm to human cell: cell wall (peptidoglycan), LPS (outer membrane Gram -), & ribosomes (protein synthesis)
in real life as cells grow nutrients are used up, wastes compound (leads to stationary phase) nonsynchronous growth
if bacteria divided together, population would double synchronous growth
both facultative and aerotolerant anaerobes grow all through out broth in a test tube
ordinarily aerobic metabolites, they shift to anaerobic when O2 is absent facultative anaerobes
anaerobic metabolites, they can survive in environments containing oxygen aerotolerant anaerobes
organisms that grow best in environment w/a small amount of O2, too much will kill them microaerophiles
organisms that love salt halophiles
organisms that use chemicals as energy source and inorganic carbon (CO2) as carbon source chemoautotroph (chemolithotroph)
organisms that use sunlight for energy and inorganic carbon (CO2) as carbon source photoautotroph
organisms that can use sunlight or chemicals for energy & organic carbon as carbon source photoheterotroph
organisms that use chemicals as energy source and organic carbon as carbon source chemoheterotroph
requires energy to synthesize molecules anabolism
releases energy while breaking down molecules catabolism
what is the purpose of NAD and FAD to carry Hydrogen ions during the formation of ATP
loss or removal of electrons, i.e. hydrogen atoms removed to form water oxidation
gain of electrons reduction
oxidized form of NAD turns into _______ when it is reduced NADH
oxidized form of FAD turns into ______ when it is reduces FADH2
Glycolysis turns glucose into 2 pyruvates
The end products of glycolysis are 2 NADH & 4 ATP
Transition step turns 2 pyruvates into 2 Acetyl CoA
How many NADH are formed during the Transition Step? 2 NADH
After Acetyl CoA goes through the Kreb's (TCA) Cycle, ______________ are formed 2 FADH2, 6 NADH, 2 ATP
The ETC take 2 FADH2, 10 NADH and turn it into 34 ATP
What is the possible yield of ATP from aerobic respiration? 38 ATP
What step from aerobic respiration is used in fermentation? glycolysis
How much ATP can be produced with fermentation? 2 ATP
The microorganism "Clostridium" produces CO2
The microorganism "Enterbactero" produces 2,3-butanediol, ethanol, lactic acid, & CO2 E2ELC
The microorganism "Lactobacillus" produces Lactic acid
The microorganism "Proprionibacterium" produces Proprionic acid and CO2 PPC
