Lesson 5
Eukaryotes
Eukaryotes
Fungi contain _________ in their membrane and __________ in their cell wall.
What is ergosterol and chitin?
This influenza viral enzyme assists viral penetration and release.
What is neuraminidase?
These organisms prefer low oxygen and high carbon dioxide.
What are microaerophiles?
This stage of cellular respiration produces the most ATP.
What is the Electron Transport Chain (ETC)?
This reduces pathogens on inanimate surfaces.
What is disinfection?
This type of protists are autotrophic and photosynthetic.
What is algae?
A clear zone produced by viral destruction of cells is called this.
What is a plaque?
This type of bacterium grows poorly when salt is absent but thrives in 15% NaCl.
What is a halophile?
The primary purpose of fermentation is to regenerate this molecule.
What is NAD⁺?
The clear area around an antibiotic disk where bacteria do not grow is called this.
What is the zone of inhibition?
A mosquito is an example of a ________ vector. A housefly is an example of a ___________ vector.
What is a biological and a mechanical vector?
When a prophage gives a bacterium the ability to produce toxins and increases its ability to cause disease, this is called ________.
What is lysogenic conversion?
This enzyme converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
What is catalase?
This process releases energy, liberates electrons, and captures energy in ATP.
What is catabolism?
This process makes contaminated surfaces safe to handle by reducing microbes.
What is decontamination?
The causative agent of malaria.
What is Plasmodium vivax?
The visible changes or damage that viruses cause in infected cells are called this.
What is cytopathic effect (CPE)?
These six major elements make up most microbial cells.
What are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur (CHONPS)?
In the electron transport chain, this enzyme uses the proton gradient to synthesize ATP.
What is ATP synthase?
UV radiation controls contamination by causing these changes in microbial DNA.
What are pyrimidine dimers?
The causative agent for the most common worm parasite in the U.S.
What is Enterobius vermicularis?
A small genetic change that occurs gradually in influenza viruses is called this.
What is antigenic drift?
The Mannitol Salt Agar plate is selective for this genus.
What is Staphylococcus?
In the Krebs cycle, for each pyruvate, this reduced coenzyme is produced four times.
What is NADH?
Four methods to prevent drug resistance.
What is limit drug use, proper drug use, narrow spectrum antibiotics, and multiple drug treatments.
