micro structure and fxn Flashcards
(34 cards)
bacterium with no cell wall or outer membrane
mycoplasma
causes TB and pneumonia
mycoplasmas
allow bacteria to interact with environment, inject things
injectisomes
made by bacillus and clositrudium
endospores
highly resistant to heat, desication and chemical damage
endospores
function of pili
adhesion or sex
purpose of capsule/glycocalyx
antiphagocytic
made of peptidoglycan, give shape
cell wall
ability to cause disease
pathogenicity
viruses are classifed by these proerties
DNA/RNA, naked/enveloped
slow virus disease
prion
has a coat or caspid
naked
prion differ from protein by this?
conformation
3 types of fungi
yeast, mold, and mushrooms
single celled fungi, reproduce by budding
yeast
filament form of mold
hyphae
the vegatative part of fungus, mass
mycelia
molds causes these types of infection
respiritary infection
fungi that exist in 2 forms
dimorphic fungi
two forms of dimporphic fungi
yeast (in body), filamentous (in culture)
2 types of parasites
protazoa and worms
how bacteria replicate
binary fission
time for one bacteria to become 2 or a culture to double
doubling time = generation time
growth curve
Lag phase, log or exponenetial phase, stationary phase, death or decline phase
