What is the main differnce between eukaryotic cell and prokaryotic cell?
|
prokaryotic cell is compartmentalized
|
|
what do i need to know about transcription and translation in prokaryotes
|
they are both coupled, they occur at the same time
|
|
we are discussing prokaryotes so whatever does not say other wise it is refering to ...
|
prokaryotes
|
|

70S (30+50)
3 types: 5,16,23S 3. target for antibacterial drugs |
|
why called nucleoid instead of nucleus?

2. double stranded 3. 2-4 depending on growth rate 4. yes 5. NO |
|
plasmid?
2. DOUBLE/ single stranded 3. replicates with/ seperate from chromsome 4. what benefits it give to bacteria? 5. necessary for the cell to survive? |
1. small circular extrachromosomal DNA
2. double 3. seperate 4. codes for virulence factors, antibiotic resisntance and or self transmission 5. no |
|

1. protection from osmotic lysis, give shape
2. classification of bacteris is based on cell wall, gram poisitive. also targets for antibiotics 3. mycoplasma spp |
|
Gram - Gram +
1. murein layer 2. outerm membrane 3. priplasm 4. susceptitibility to peniciln and lysosyme |
Gram - Gram +
1. no yes 2. yes no 3. yes no 4. low high |
|
Gram + cell wall:
has ..... (thin/thick)..... layer that contains..... and ..... acids |
thick peptidoglycan layer that contains teichoic and lipoteichoic acid
|
|
peptidoglycan layer:
funtion: |
1. protection from environment
2. resistant to many mamalian enzymes; but exception is that it can be broken down by lysozyme murien synthesis enzyme, which is the target of B-lactamlanitbiotic |
|
what heppens if murein layer is lost?
exception: |
cell lysis
formation of protoplast in isototic medium |
|
Teichoic acid and Lipteichoic acid:
fucntions |
they are important in virulance and act as antigens
|
|
Gram Negative cell wall:
has..... outer layer |
lipopoylsaccharide
|
|
lipoplysacchride is unique to gram ..... cell wall.
1.what is the other name for it? 2. what is its fumction? |
gram negative
endotoxin 2. it is a very strong stimulator of immune response; and it is toxic to humans and animals |
|
which of the follwoing stucturesis found in gram - abut not in gram +?
|
outermembrane
|
|
what is the outermembrane made up of
|
lipoplysaccharide LPS
|
|
what does gram positive look like after adding dye
|
When viewed under a microscope, gram-positive cells appear purple due to the crystal violet-iodine complex retained inside.
|
|
whad does gram negative look like after dye
|
When viewed under a microscope, gram-negative cells appear pink or red due to the safranin staining.
oh: before marriage answer to the questioned that whether or not being ivolved with red or pink is negative |
|
bacteria cell morphology:
1. cocus.... 2. bacillus 3. vibrio 4. spirilum 5. spirochete 6. fusiform bacillus 7. coccobaciluus |
1. shpere shape
2. capsule like shape 3. curved bcillus shape 4. M SHAPE 5. condese sirilum 6. elongated bacilus 7. shape between coccus and bacillus |
|
Pili:
1. other name for it 2. essential for cell to stay alive 3. composed of protein called.. 4. the two classes: |
hair like projection of the cell
1. fimbriae 2. no 3. pilin 4. common pili; and sex pilus |
|
common pili:
1. how many per cell 2. function 3. function |
1. many around the cell
2. adhesion to the host cell 3. important virulence factors- role in colonization |
|
sex pilus:
1. how many 2. function |
1. one per cell
2. sexual conjuction; genetic transfer bw bacteria |
|
flagella

1. no
2. both 3. motility 4. monotrichous or polar(single flagellum) lopotichous. i say LOPO coms out one sie but man amphitrichous: i see two side coming and I say AAAA MMMMM so amphitrichous periterichous: oh: peri doram bepari |
|

Biofilm
|
i understand this by remembring the example she gave about a kind bacteria that attacks heart and produces biofilm and sticks there.
Complex aggregation of microorganisms marked by the excretion of a protective and adhesive matrix |
|
nosocomial
|
hospital aquired disease
|
|
why biofilm problm?
|
Forms on the surface of catheter lines and contact lenses.
Grows on pacemakers, heart valve replacements, artificial joints and other surgical implants. ~ 65% of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections are caused by biofilms. Bacteria growing in a biofilm are highly resistant to antibiotics (up to 1,000 times more resistant than the same bacteria not growing in a biofilm). |
|
how do bacteria do energy production; through what means
|
plasma membrane; since they don't have mitochondira to make energy inside they import it. this is exam question.

|
process of spore to life again
|
spore -
activation germination outgrowth vegetative |
|
bacteria growht curve:
what are the four steps? |
lag: nothing is happening; bac is getting ready to grwo
Log: when they grow and do it fast in right conditions; doubling time is defined here sationary: multipication and death rate are the same Death: when they die oh; LAG please LOG in the STATION or you are going to DIE |
|
HEMOLYTIC ACTIVITY ON BLOOD AGAR of bactria; what happens?
|
when bacteria is grown on blood agar; you see differnt manifistations:
Alpha: icomplete Beta: full hemolyisis Gama: no hemolyisis oh: a person alone is incomplete; whent get married=beta is complet; when not considering marriage is gama and no hehmolyisis |
|

what it does 2. what happens if you have a different sigma subunit? |
binds to RNA polymerase and recognize promoter.
2. a different gene is expressed |
