Q

Steps of Lytic Cycle

A
  1. Infection- virus attack to host
  2. Growth- genetic material become part of DNA
  3. Replication- copies own DNA
  4. Lysis- Burst!

Q

Lysogenic Infection

A

Virus does NOT reproduce and lyse host cell right away; genetic material incorporated into bacterium’s DNA (requires environmental simulus to being lytic cycle)

Q

Eubacteria + Most Important

A

Largest Kingdom; flagellum; Cyanobacteria

23
Q

Archaebacteria

A

Harsh environment; oxygen free/salty

24
Q

Methanogens

A

Archaebacteria that produces methane gas

25
Bacilli
Rod shaped () () ()
26
Cocci
Spherical shaped O O O
27
Spirilla
Spiral shaped ~ ~ ~
28
Gram positive & Gram negative
Positive: Purple (1 layer carb+protien) Negative: Pink/Red (2layers - harder 2 absorb)
29
Autotrophs
Produce own food
30
Phototropic Autotrophs
Trap energy of sunlight
31
Chemotropic Autotrophs
Inorganic molecules (nitrites, sulfur, irons, hydrogen) for energy
32
Hetetrotrophs
need to ingest food
33
Phototropic hetetrotrophs
photosynthesize need organic compounds
34
Chemotrophic hetetrotrophs
taking in organic molecules, breaking them down and absorbing
35
Obligated aerobes
need constant supply of oxygen
36
Obligate anaerobes
live in absent of oxygen
37
Facilitative anaerobes
Don't require oxygen; not be poisoned by it
38
Binary Fission
Asexual; splitting in half producing 2 daughter cells
39
Conjugation 8==D
Sexual; a bridge
40
Endospore
spore formation occurs when environmental conditions not favorable
41
Symbiosis
Bacteria develops close relationship with other organisms BOTH benefits! :)
42
Nutrient flow
Bacteria recycle & decompose, or break down dead material
43
Saprophyte
Organisms that use complex molecules of once-living organism as energy/nutrition
44
Sewage Decomposition
Waste water-> Bacteria grow. Produce purified water, nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide + fertilize
45
Nitrogen Fixation
Nitrogen gas -> Ammonia
46
Which bacterium does the soybean host?
Rhizobium
47
Pathogens
Disease producing agents
48
Examples of diseases caused by viruses
Smallpox, polio, measles, AIDS, mumps, influenza, yellow fever, rabies, common cold
49
Interferons
Treatment of viral diseases; released from virus-infected cells, making difficult for viruses to infect other cells
50
Oncogenic (tumor-making)
Cancer-causing viruses
51
Examples of diseases caused by bacteria
Hansen disease, diphtheria, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, tetanus, syphilis, cholera, bubonic plague.
52
Sterilization
Destroys living bacteria by subjecting them with great HEAT or CHEMICAL action.
53
Disinfectants
Chemical solution that kills bacteria; used @ home 2 clean bathroom, kitchen etc.
