(229 cards)
sterile areas of human body
bone, blood, brain, bladder, spinal cord, kidneys, liver, internal areas of the urogenital system
Organisms-living
bacteria, archaea, eucarya
Bacteria and archaea
Prokaryotes (unicellular)
Algae, protozoa, fungi
Eukaryotes
Viruses-infectious
viruses, viroids, prions
protists
algae and protozoa
Prokaryotic Cell
1 chromosome, only non-membraneous organelles, no histones, binary fission. No nucleus. Cell wall made of peptidoglycan
Eukaryotic Cell
genetic material in nucleus- both membraneous and non organelles, histones and non-histones, mitosis
viruses - external environment
no influence on insect bites, needles, or mucosal surface
All viruses have…
capsid that encloses the nucleic acid genome and they enter and exit host cell following replication. side note - Capsid well organized. All made from freshly synthesized components.
Prion
protein molecule with infectious qualities like a viral genome; no genetic material. just like normal brain protein.
PrPc
cellular form. Present as a membrane protein of neuron surface. normal form, well defined. cellular. Alpha helix.
PrPsc
misfolded, protease resistant. from alpha helix to betaplated sheet. scrapie form. called templating when it changes.
resistant to inactivation at 90ºC
prions
prion transmission
inherited (in germ cell line) , sporadic, infectious. causes paralytic disease.
Rigid cell wall
bacteria
Archae
methanogens, halophiles, thermophiles. Absorb nutrients like bacteria.
have cytoplasm, ribosome and some membrane
bacteria
has RNA and DNA
bacteria
no cytoplasm or organelle
virus
have enevelope
virus
only RNA OR DNA (the genetic material, aka genome)
virus
Fungi
can be uni or multi-cellular, decomposers, chitin cell wall, absorbs nutrients, just like bacteria
Algae
multi-cellular, free living, aquatic, cellulous wall, synthesizes sugar. photosynthetic - cook their own food.
