Q

Plant cell walls are made of cellulose, what are Fungi cell walls made of ?

20
Q

How do Fungi reproduce

A

Asexual budding produces two cells from one.
Sexual reproduction includes spore production & release.

21
Q

What are the 4 types of Fungi SICC

A

sac-like, imperfect, club-like, case-like

22
Q

What are the 3 different types of body symmetry and an example

A

Asymmetrical - Sponge
Radial - Starfish
Bilateral - Dog

23
Q

What are animals with a backbone called and what % of animals have it

A

Vertebrates, 5%

24
Q

What are the 3 domains

A

Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya

25
List differences in prokaryotes and eukaryotes
Pro Eu No Nucleus | Has Nucleus Often unicellular | Often multicellular DNA in nuclear region | DNA in nucleus (No Organelles | (Many membrane except ribosomes) | based organelles) reproduce asexually | reproduce both many anaerobic | Most aerobic
26
What is a virus
microscopic organisms that has to infect hosts, like humans, plants or animals
27
Why are viruses considered non-living
Unable to reproduce by themselves Unable to move independently Do not react to stimuli Lack cell structures
28
What are the main parts of a virus
Genetic material (DNA and RNA) Protective Protein Coat (called a Capsid)
29
What virus infects bacteria
Bacteriophages
30
What are the names of the 2 virus reproduction cycles
Lysogenic, and Lytic
31
What does the lysogenic cycle do (simple)
Virus injects DNA into host cells chromosomes and becomes inactive. Then when the virus DNA joins the host DNA it is now referred to as a provirus
32
What does the Lytic cycle do (simple)
Virus injects DNA into host DNA. Then viral DNA hijacks the host and uses it to replicate new viruses
33
What are the 5 steps of the Lytic cycle
1. Attaches to receptor 2. penetrates 3. Multiplies 4. Assembles 5. Lysis (releases and kills host)
34
What are the 4 steps of Lysogenic cycle
1. Viral DNA combines with host DNA 2. Viral DNA replicates along with the hosts 3. Virus reactivated 4. Enters the Lytic cycle
35
Why are viruses good
Some Viruses protect us and without them we would not be alive
36
How do vaccines work
They have a weaken part of the virus and your body knows to look out for bad guys now
37
What is s Bacteria's favorite environment
Warm, dark, and moist
38
What are the 3 main Phyla of Archaea
Anaerobic, Halophiles, Thermoacidophiles
39
What are the 4 ways to classify bacteria
Cell shape, cell wall structure, motility, metabolism
40
What are the 3 cell shapes for bacteria
Cocci (sphere), Bacilli (rod shaped), Spirochetes (spiral)
41
What is bacteria cell wall made of
Peptidoglycan
42
What are the 4 ways bacteria reproduce
Binary fission - parent cell divides to form 2 cells and happens quick so mutations Conjugation - passes a copy of a plasmid to a nearby cell through a pilus Transformation - pick up pieces of DNA from the environment or dead bacteria Transduction - some receive new genetic material through viruses
43
Where is Penicillin from and what does it do
It is from Fungi and is an antibiotic and doesn't work on viruses
44
What do helpful bacteria do
Natural recycling, Health and medicine, clean-up
45
What is the problem with anti biotic overuse
Since bacteria reproduce so quickly, there is a high rate of mutation in the plasmid to create antibiotic-resistance. Since we keep overusing it it builds immunity faster.
