Bacterial Diversity
Main component of bacterial cell walls
Peptidoglycan
These organisms are saprotrophs
Fungi
This structure covers the viral genome
Capsid
Building new proteins is this general type of process
anabolic
Conjugation and transformation are two types of
Horizontal Gene Transfer
Group known for producing antibiotics
Streptomyces (or Actinobacteria)
Mycoses
Groups viruses by their genome and how their mRNA is made
Baltimore system
Organism that can "fix carbon" (make its own food)
autotroph
Types of RNA involved in translation
mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA
Spore-forming, rod-shaped, and Gram-positive
Bacillus
Protists that are covered in hairlike structures
Ciliates (Paramecium is an example)
Tropism
Used to create ATP through "oxidative phosphorylation"
Electron Transport System
A pairs with T; C pairs with G describes
complementation
Gram-negative organisms that are commonly found in human GI tract
Enterobacterales
Tapeworms are one type of
Helminth (or Cestode)
Type of mutation only found in influenza viruses
Antigenic shift (reassortment)
glucose --> organic acid + H2(gas)
fermentation
The loss of genes provides a fitness advantage in a certain environment.
Reductive evolution
This gene is used for establishing bacterial phylogeny
16S rRNA
This organism is the infectious agent that causes malaria
Plasmodium
HIV uses this special enzyme to make DNA from RNA
reverse transcriptase
Organisms that cannot use oxygen, but can grow in its presence
aerotolerant anaerobes
Structure used to show evolutionary relationships among organisms
