Monera was divided into what two groups in the late 1900's?
|
eubacteria and archaebacteria
|
|
Eubacteria? (5 points)
|
larger and more diverse, cell memebrane surrounded by cell wall, cell wall contains peptidoglycan, develop mutulistic as well as paratistic symbiotic relationship
|
|
Archeabacteria? (5 points)
|
very chemically different from eubvacteria, lack peptidoglycan, contain different kinds of lipids in their cell wall, genes more similar to eukaryotic cells, extreme enviornments
|
|
3 shapes of bacteria?
|
bacilli (rod shaped), cocci (spherrical), spirilla (spiral)
|
|
Gram Staining? Who developed? What is it?
|
Hans Christian Gram (1884) Danish Physician, used to identify if the bacteria is either gram positive or negative, allows doctors to know about it
|
|
Gram Positive Bacteria?
|
conatin one cell wall that surrounds the cell membrane, will stain purple and can be treated with antibiotics
|
|
Gram Negative bacteria?
|
contain multiple cell walls, stains pink and can not be treated with antibiotics
|
|
Movement of bacteria (4 points)?
|
some prokaryotes are stationary; other are propelled by their flagella; others lash, snake, or spiral forward; others glide slowly along a layer of slime they produce
|
|
Heterotrophic bacteria?
|
consumers; they consume organic material
|
|
Chemoheterotrophs?
|
most bacteria includes decomposing as well as pathogenic; consume organic molecules for energy and a supply of carbon
|
|
Photoheterotrophs?
|
perform photosynthesis as well as consume organic material; very small group of organisms
|
|
Autotrophic bacteria?
|
producers; produce oxygen to fill the atmosphere and act as a pioneer species
|
|
photoautotrophs?
|
sloley photosynthetic (cyanobacteria)
|
|
Chemoautotrophs?
|
perform chemosynthesis to convert inorganic matter such amonia or hygrogen sulfide into energy
|
|
Binary Fission? (4 points)
|
asexual reproduction; once bacteria reach certain size; cell splits creating 2 new daughter cells; rapid rate of reproduction, can reproduce every 20 minutes
|
|
Conjugation? (3 points)
|
process of genetic exschange between bacteria; pili extensions serve as a bridge of exchange for DNA; genetic exchange increases genetic diversity within a population
|
|
Spor formation? (3 points)
|
strategy used when conditions are not favorable for growth; endospore enclose the DNA and protects it during adverse conditions; allows bacteria to survive harsh conditions by remaining dormant until conditions are right
|
|
Decomposers? (2 points)
|
help return nutrients to the soil by breaking down dead organic matter and therefore keep nutrient cycles flowing and food chains intact; help produce purified water by breaking down complex compunds
|
|
Nitrogen Fixers? (3 points)
|
nitrogen -main ingerdient in fertilizer; limiting nutrient in soil; N2 make up 80% of earth's atmosphere but plants cant use it; some plants have symbiotic relationships with nitrogen fixing bacteria within roots
|
|
Human Uses of Bacteria? (4points)
|
usted to make certain foods and drinks (yogurt, cottage cheese); idustrial uses (purification of drinking water); medical uses-(genetic enginering); symbiotic ralationship between intestinal bacteria
|
|
Louis Pasteur?
|
French chemist, 1822-1895 (developed Germ Theory and pasturization and some vaccines)
|
|
Robert Koch?
|
German physican (First to isolate anthrax, tuberculosis and helped develop Germ Theory)
|
|
Koch's Prostulate?
|
1. pathogen should always be found in the boday of a sick organism and not in a healthy one 2. pathogen must be usolated and grown in a laboratory in pure culture 3, when placed in new host should cause same symptoms 4. the second pathogen should be identical to the first
|
|
2 ways bacteria cause disease?
|
using cells for food and releasing toxins or poisons that travel through body via blood
|
|
Preventing bacterial disease? (6 points)
|
good sanitation and hygiene, use of heat and cold to protect food, vaccines, antibiotics, use of sterile procedures in medicine, and disinfectants
|
|
Vaccine?
|
weakend form of a pathagen that stimulates immune system to make antibodies against disease
|
|
Antibiotics?
|
block the growth and reproduction of bacteria by preventing bacteria from making new cells
|
|
Alexander Fleming?
|
Scotish biologist who discovered penicillan by accident (Fungi in petri dish)
|
|
Joseph Lister?
|
1st one to suggest that surgens use sterile techniques (Olisterine)
|
|
Dimitri Ivanovski?
|
russian biologist (discovered tobacco mosaic virus)
|
|
Martinus Beijerink?
|
Dutch biologist (Gave the virus its name) "Father of Virology (also discovered nitrogen fixation)
|
|
Virus Characteristics?
|
are not a cell, can't reproduce on their own, have trouble maintaing homeostasis, lack a true metabolism
|
|
***Extremely microscopic
|
|
|
Their DNA or RNA are surrounded by a ……
|
protein coat
|
|
This protein coat is called a?
|
capsid
|
|
What does the capsid do?
|
allows virus to bind with the receptors of the host cel and tricks it into allowing it inside.
|
|
Plant viruses?
|
infects only plants; Ex. Tabacco mosaic virus
|
|
Animal virus?
|
infect only animals; Ex. Influenza or small pox
|
|
Bacteriophages?
|
infect only bacteria
|
|
**** Depend entirly on the host cell
|
|
|
2 types of viral infection?
|
lytic and lysogenic
|
|
Lytic? (5 points)
|
lyse- to burst; host cell lyses or ruptures; virus enters cell then virus makes copies of it self then the new virus copies burst out of the host cell Ex. HIV
|
|
Lysogenic? (3 points)
|
viral DNA incorporated into DNA of host cell; viral DNA (prophage) replicates with host cell DNA; once prophage becomes activated it will remove itself from the host DNA and enter the lytic cycle
|
|
Prophage?
|
viral DNA that is embedded in host's DNA
|
|
Retrovirus? (3 points)
|
contains RNA instead of DNA; once virus RNA is inside host, RNA is copied to DNA and takes over the host; "Retro" backwards- RNA to DNA instead of DNA to RNA Ex. HIV
|
|
Why cant viruses be treated with antibiotics?
|
NOT CELLS
|
|
Viroids?
|
single stranded RNA molecules with no capsid proteins; infect many plants and disrupt their cellular metabolisum while stunting growth (tomatoes, potatos, apples, citrus fruits)
|
|
Prions?
|
infectious protein particles that lack DNA and RNA; believed to be the cause of Mad Cow Disease
