|---|---|---|---|---|---|
What is the death phase? The phase where the rate is exponential, the cells dies and finally lyse. Bacterial Growth 100 | What are B lactam antibiotics? I prevent new peptide cross linkages from being made. I case the cell wall to become weak & it lyses. I resemble the D-ala-D-ala region so transpeptidase catalyzes the cross linkages. I only act on growing cells Antibiotics 100 | What is a Thymine Dimer? A kink in the DNA from UV affecting the helix, causing DNA mutation. Mutations 100 | What is quaternary structure? Exists only in proteins that consist of more than one polypeptide chain-not all have one. Contains H+, covalent and ionic bonds Protein Structure 100 | What is budding? The process that releases enveloped viruses from the membrane of the host's cytoplasm. Common in yeast. Asexual Division 100 | What is ATP? A 3-part molecule consisting of a nitrogenous base lined to a 5 carbon sugar(ribose) w/ a chain of 3 phophate groups bonded to it. Produces energy. Random 100 |
What is the lag phase? The phase that cells are constantly building and adjusting, producing new enzymes, increase in cell size, cell # and # of ribosomes. Bacterial Growth 200 | What is Vancomycin? I prevent peptide cross linkages from being made. I cause the cell to become weak and lyse. I use D-ala-D-ala to "hide" from transpeptidase. I only act on growing cells. Antibiotics 200 | What is a silent mutation? No change in the sequence, codes for the same Amino Acid. Not dangerous. Mutations 200 | What is primary structure? Linear Amino Acid sequence, not affected by heat, and contain peptide and H+ bonds. Protein Structure 200 | What is Bdellovibrio? The bacteria that is a predator Gram (-) cells by getting in between the cell wall and mulitiplies, aka multiple fission. Asexual Division 200 | What is a nucleotide? A basic structure of RNA & DNA that consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar and a phosphate. Random 200 |
What is the stationary phase? The phase where there is no net increase in cell # or mass, nutrients are limited, cell size decreases, and ribosomes decrease. Bacterial Growth 300 | What are Erythromycin & Tetracycline? Two antibiotics that prevent ribosomes from binding to mRNA. One prevents elongation & binds to 50s while the other prevents intiation & binds to 30s. Antibiotics 300 | What is a nonsense mutation? produces a premature stop codon Mutations 300 | What is tertiary structure? Proteins that undergo 3* of torsion, created by additional bonds between functional groups. Bonds: H+, Ionic, Covalent Protein Structure 300 | What is "development from within"? Has up to 7 daughter cells that develop within the "mother cell" and grow along her body length. The mother cell ruptures and dies releasing the daughter cells. Asexual Division 300 | What is bacteriocidal? Any process or agent that kills a bacteria. Random 300 |
What is generation time? Time it takes to double # of cells/mL, or cell mass population. DOUBLING TIME. Bacterial Growth 400 | What is Ciproflaxcin? I inhibit Gyrase by not allowing negative supercoiling and DNA synthesis. My binding site is Gyrase. Antibiotics 400 | What is a Frameshift mutation? Addition/Deletion of 1-5 base pairs, changes the amino acid at the site of mutation and the sequence. Mutations 400 | What are copper, mercury and silver? Three heavy metals that alter tertiary structure Protein Structure 400 | What is "Development from within"? Has up to 7 daughter cells that develop within the "mother cell" and grow along her body length. The mother cell ruptures and dies releasing the daughter cells. Asexual Division 400 | What is pasteurization? Heat treatment of perishable fluids such as milk, fruit juices or wine to destroy heat sensitive vegetative cells followed by rapid chilling to inhibit growth of survivors & germination of spores. Ex: Mycobacterium & Coxiella Random 400 |
What is the Exponential (Log) Phase? The phase where organisms are adjusted, nutrients are plentiful, cells are doubling in time, # of cells is always increasing. Bacterial Growth 500 | What is Rifampin? I bind to RNA polymerase blocking it from attaching to the promoter region, therefore initiation cannot occur. I am used against TB and can interfere with oral contraceptives. Antibiotics 500 | What is a Transposon? Considered the "jumping gene" and inserts 300-500 base pairs into the DNA sequence Mutations 500 | What is secondary structure? Arises when various functional groups exposed on the outer surface of the molecule interact by forming H+ bonds, causing amino acid chain to twist into an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet. Protein Structure 500 | What is streptomyces? Procaryotes that are fungal-like. They are shiny refractile round structures and are reproductivespores. They produce the antibiotic streptomycin. Asexual Division 500 | What is a Sigma Protein? Required for RNA polymerase to bind to DNA, binding at the DNA site is called the promoter. Random 500 |
DNA Replication
Difference between tRNA & mRNA.
mRNA encodes information in the DNA for the sequence of amino acids in a protein. It's a codon.
tRNA carrier molecule to bring an amino acid to the site of the ribosome/mRNA complex. It's the anticodon.
