Q

when a person ingests a toxin that has been pre-formed by a microbe.

A

MICROBIAL INTOXICATION

25
the basic unit of life or the fundamental structure of any living organism.
CELL
26
refers to all the chemical reactions that occur within the cell such as cell division for it to reproduce and production of ATP for growth and other activities.
METABOLISM
27
is like the skin around the cell which separates it from the external environment and it also regulates the passage of different materials into and out of the cells because of its property of selective permeability
CELL MEMBRANE
28
THIS IS WHERE THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROKARYOTES AND EUKARYOTES EXIST!
NUCLEUS
29
acts as the command center of the cell
NUCLEUS
30
like the cytoplasm in the nucleus, gel-like substance
NUCLEOPLASM
31
in eukaryotic, there’s DNA, then located along it are the genes that carry genetic information
CHROMOSOME
32
used to encode proteins
GENES
33
the envelope that covers the nucleus
NUCLEAR MEMBRANE
34
semifluid, gelatinous, nutrient matrix where the organelles are immersed
CYTOPLASM
35
convoluted membranes that serve as the transport network of tubules and flattened sacs within the cytoplasm
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER)
36
presence of ribosomes, protein synthesis
ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
37
absence of ribosomes, lipid synthesis, detoxification
SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM
38
the body that connects with the ER. It packages the proteins formed in the ER into small vesicles for storage and export outside the cell
GOLGI COMPLEX
39
vesicles originating from the Golgi apparatus. It also contains lysozyme and other digestive enzymes in charge of PHAGOCYTOSIS and APOPTOSIS
LYSOSOMES
40
the engulfing and digesting large particles of pathogens by phagocytes
PHAGOCYTOSIS
41
is the breaking down old or worn-out parts of the cell
APOPTOSIS
42
vesicles in which Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is broken down by the enzyme catalase. H2O2 is needed to be broken down to water and oxygen to be less toxic in a process called DETOXIFICATION
PEROXISOMES
43
powerhouse of the cell because it produces ATP made from our food sources
MITOCHONDRIA
44
present in SOME eukaryotic cells. It provides rigidity, shape and protection of the cell . Its structure in eukaryotes is much simpler compared to prokaryotes
CELL WALL
45
present in SOME eukaryotic cells. It is long, thin, helps in motility of the cell. It has a whip-like movement and consists of 3 or more threads of protein called FLAGELLIN, twisted like a rope
FLAGELLA
46
present in SOME eukaryotic cells - shorter, thinner, more numerous - for locomotion by beating in a coordinated rhythmic movement
CILIA
47
(in prokaryotic cell) only contains a single, long, supercoiled DNA - serves as the CONTROL CENTER OF BACTERIAL CELL
CHROMOSOME
48
present in SOME prokaryotic cells. It is small, circular molecule of double-stranded DNA, referred to as extrachromosomal DNA because it’s not part of the chromosome and is found in most bacteria
PLASMID
49
hair like structures common in GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA, consist of polymerized protein called PILIN. Is much thinner than flagella, have rigid structure, not associated with motility
PILI / FIMBRIAE
50
2 types of pili
SEX PILI and ANCHORING PILI
51
facilitates transfer of genetic material from one bacterial cell to another after attachment
SEX PILI
52
helps the bacteria anchor themselves to surfaces and then able to cause diseases
ANCHORING PILI
53
a copy of chromosome and some cytoplasm is enclosed in thick protein coats, which is now resistant to heat, cold, and to the harsh external and internal environment, formed during the process of sporulation, made up of Calcium Dipicolinate
SPORES
54
PARTS OF A PROKARYOTIC CELL
CELL MEMBRANE, CHROMOSOME, CYTOPLASM, PLASMID, PILI / FIMBRIAE, SPORES, CELL WALL, FLAGELLA, GLYCOCALYX
55
PARTS OF A EUKARYOTIC CELL
CELL MEMBRANE, NUCLEUS, ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM (ER), GOLGI COMPLEX, LYSOSOMES, PEROXISOMES, MITOCHONDRIA, CELL WALL, FLAGELLA, CILIA
56
Causes diarrhea
Escherichia
57
Importance of capsule
Antiphagocytic function which causes it tobe stronger
58
Example of capsule bacteria
Neisseria meningiditis, streptococcus pneumoniae, klebsiella pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae
