Q

What are Koch’s postulates?

A

Causative agent found
Agent must be isolated and grown outside the host
When agent is introduced into a healthy host, the host must get the disease
The same agent must be re-isolated from experimental host

Q

Anabolism

A

Taking small molecules and building them up and creating larger molecules
Requires ATP

22
Q

Catabolism

A

Taking larger molecules and break them apart

All this with the purpose of releasing energy in the for of ATP

23
Q

Enzymes

A
Very specific
Lock and key fashion
Decrease the activate energy needed for the reaction
Therefore speeding the reaction 
Re-usable
24
Q

Competitive inhibitor

A

Compete for the same binding (ACTIVE) site

25
Non-competitive
Binds to another side other than the ACTIVE site
26
ATP
Adenine triphosphate
27
ADP
ATP after they’ve lost the phosphate
28
Substrate level phosphorylation
A phosphate is transferred from some molecule to ADP to create ATP
29
Oxidative Phosphorylation
Phosphate is added to ADP through series of REDOX reactions | Occurring during a respiratory pathway
30
Photophosphorylation
Phosphate is added to ADP to make ATP | All this using energy from the sun
31
What are the five I’s
``` Inoculation Incubation Isolation Inspection Identification ```
32
Types of Helminths
Roundworms Pinworms Tapeworms
33
Pathogen
``` Any agent that causes disease Virus Bacteria Fungus Parasite ```
34
Glycolysis
Break down of sugars Takes place in the cytoplasm Does not require oxygen
35
Similarities between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
Posses genetic information Presence of ribosomes Plasma membrane Cytoplasm
36
Parasites
Harbored and nourished by the host | Always harmful to the host
37
Biofilm Infections
``` Attach to the surface Cemented by sugars secreted by the bacteria Very difficult to dislodge Ear, prostate, and lung infections Heart valves and artificial joints ```
38
Ferdinand Cohn
``` Classification of bacteria Spherical Rods Threads Spirals ```
39
Robert Koch
Postulates for culturing Isolated anthrax Develop staining methods
40
What are the nitrogenous bases called purines?
Adenine | Guanine
41
What are the nitrogenous bases called pyrimidines?
Thymine | Cytosine
42
How do the nitrogenous bases pair up?
Adenine with Thymine | Guanine with Cytosine
43
Features of eukaryotic cells
``` Cytoplasmic membrane Nucleus Mitochondria Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Apparatus Cytoskeleton ```
44
External parts of the Eukaryotic cell
``` Flagella Cilia Capsules Slime Glycocalix ```
45
Boundary parts of the cell
Cell wall | Cytoplasmic membrane
46
Internal parts of the Eukaryotic cell
``` Cytoplasm Nucleus Organelles Ribosomes Cytoskeleton ```
47
What constitutes the nucleus?
Nuclear envelope Nucleus Chromosomes
48
What are the organelles?
Endoplasmic reticulum - Ribosomes Golgi apparatus - Lysosomes Mitochondria Chloroplasts
49
What makes up the cytoskeleton?
Microtubules Intermediate filaments Actin filaments
50
What is meiosis?
Production of gametes
51
What do chloroplast do?
They convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis
52
Asexual reproduction
Budding
