Q

Prokaryote

A

ETC in cell membrane
Small ribosomes
Reproduce via binary fission
Plasmids carry DNA material. May have virulence factors. Plasmids that integrate into genome are Episomes

21
Q

Prions

A

infectious proteins. Trigger misfolding. alpha helical–> beta pleated sheets. Decrease solubility

22
Q

Viroid

A

Plant pathogens

23
Q

Microfilaments

24
Q

Microtubules

25
Intermediate Filaments
Keratin= Vimentin; Desmin= Lamin
26
Epithelia
Tissues
27
Parenchyma
functional parts of organ
28
Simple
One layer
29
Stratified
Multiple layers
30
Pseudostratified
One layer (looks mult, but really just 1)
31
Cuboidal
cube shape
32
columnar
long and narrow
33
Squamous
flat, scale-like
34
Connective
stroma (support, extracellular matrix). Bone, cartilage, tendon, blood
35
Transformation
gets genetic info from environment
36
Conjugation
transfer of genetic info via conjugation bridge F+--> F= or Hfr--> recipient
37
Transduction
transfer using bacteriophage
38
Transposon
genetic info that can insert/remove themselves
39
Capsids
protein coat
40
Envelope
some have lipid envelope
41
Virion
individual virus particles
42
Bacteriophage
bacteria virus. Tail sheath injects DNA/RNA
43
Viral Genome
May be DNA or RNA. Single or double stranded
44
Positive Sense
can be translated by host cell
45
Negative Sense
RNA replicase must synthesize a complimentary strand, which can then be translated
46
Retrovirus
single stranded RNA. Reverse transcriptase needed to make DNA
47
Lytic Cycle
virions made until cell lyses
48
Lysogenic Cycle
virus integrates into genome as provirus or prophage. Goes dormant until stress activates it.
