3

2 types of prokaryotic cells.....bacteria & archaea........how are different & simular?

Simular- they both possess prokaryotic cells diff- They have different chemicals in their cell walls.

decomposition of molecules and synthesis of new molecules from their subunits

exchange reaction

28

Describe 2 types of endocytosis

phagocytosis-used by WBC to destroy bacteria & foreign substances.pinocytosis-the plasma membrane folds inward, bringing extracellular fluid into the cell, along w/whatever substances are dissolved in the fluid.

29

emerging infectious disease

35

encloses cytoplasm

plasma membrane

36

endospores is called

sporogenesis

37

engulfing of large particles through plasma membrane

endocytosis

38

Even though the germ theory of disease was not demonstrated until 1876, why did Semmelweis (1840) and Lister (1867) argue for the use of aseptic techniques?

Though the theory was not completely known, Semmelweis and Lister observed healthier or more positive results from their patients with their new procedures.

39

Explained fermentation

Pasteur

40

Find at least three supermarket products made by microorganisms. (Hint: The label will state the scientific name of the organism or include the word culture, fermented, or brewed.)

Yogurt, beer, cheese.

41

first stain in gram stain

crystal violet

42

First to use disinfectants in surgical procedures

Lister

43

Formation of new cell from an endospore is

germination

44

formed by shared electrons

covalent bond

45

forms secondary structure of proteins

Hydrogen bond

46

Fungi

cell wall made of chitin

47

Giraffes, termites, and koalas eat only plant matter. Since animals cannot digest cellulose, how do you suppose these animals get nutrition from the leaves and wood that they ingest?

The animals have cellulose-degrading bacteria in specialized stuctures in the digestive tracts.

48

had monomers of amino acids

protein

49

has membrane bound nucleus

Eukaryote

50

have DNA or RNA

virus

51

Multicellular cells

52

Helminths belong to this kingdom

Animal

53

helps a stain stick to an organism

mordant

54

How did the theory of biogenesis led the way for the germ theory of disease?

Koch would then be able to hypothesize what may be causing a disease (a living organism) enabling him to conjecture what he should observe in a sick host.

55

In Gram stain, one step could be omitted and still allow between gram-positive and gram-negative cells. What is that one step?

Step 1 can be omitted. Safranin can be omitted.

70

People believed all microbial disease would be controlled during the twentieth century. List three reasons why we are identifying new diseases now.

Microorganisms are ubiquitous; it would take a great effort to catalogue all the species.Microorganisms mutate into different strains; thus new diseases are created. With the leaps of technology, people may now engineer new strains.

What happens to the relative amount of unsaturated lipids in the plasma membrane when E.Coli grown at 25 C are then grown at 37 C?

The amount of unsaturates decreases, and the amount of saturated lipids increases

100

when E. Coli..........Which requires ATP?

increases intracelluar solute concentration bringing it closer to that of the hyperosmotic excellular environment & thus reducing the severity of plasmolysis.
