Section 2 Flashcards
(47 cards)
Two Types of Cells
1- Eukaryotic
2- Prokaryotic
Examples of Eukaryotic cells
Make up non-mircroscopic like. 1- mammals 2- Fungi 3- algae 4- Plants 5- Protozoa
Prokaryotes
1- All Bacteria
2- Achaea
How many human eukaryotic cells genes are there
25,000
How many genes does bacteria cells have
5,000
Bacteria size
1/1000 the volume of our cells
Bacteria cells lack
1- internal membraned bound organelles 2- 70s Ribosomes 3- Complex Walls 4- 1000x smaller than human cells 5- circular dsDNA
Bacteria outer wall
Unique outer wall that covers the cell plasma membrane and protects from osmotic lysis.
Three major life forms
1- Bacteria
2- Archaea
3- Eucarya
measured by genetic similarity
Humans can be infected by Eukaryotic Pathogens
1- Fungi
2- Helminths
3- Portozoa
Prokaryotic microorganisms that infect humans
1- bacteria
2- a Few Archea
Bacteria can be decided into two categories
1- gram +
2- gram -
Gram + Bacteria
1- have thick outer cell wall with peptidglycan outside a single inner plasma membrane
Gram - Bacteria
1- have thin cell wall sandwiched between the cell membrane and a unique outer membrane.
2- the outer-membrane contains lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
Viruses two categories
1- enveloped
2- non-enveloped
Enveloped virus
much less hardy than non-enveloped
Prions
small infectious proteins
Bacteria protein synthesis
1- mRNA is transcribed directly in the presence of ribosomes, there is little lag in protein productions which means the bacteria can respond quickly to environmental changes.
Ribosome 70s
1- different than eukaryotic 80s
2- Target site for some antibiotics
Bacteria wall
1- regular bi-lipd cell membrane
2- rigid cell wall (another target for antibiotics)
Bacterial structures anchored to cell membrane or cell wall
1- Pili/Fimbrae
2- Flagella
3- Capsule
4- Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
Pili/Fimbrae
1- used for attachment and conjugation
2- Leptin
Flagella
Locomotion
Capsule
1- protect from phagocytosis
2- Anti-phagocytic
1- Protect from PMNs and macrophages
