Organelles
This organelle is responsible for protein synthesis.
What are ribosomes?
This pathogen is the cause of the Black Death in Europe during the 1300-1400s.
What is Yersinia pestis?
These adorable microorganisms are known in German as Kleiner Wasserbär ("little water bear")
What are tardigrades?
Name a food that is produced with the help of lactic acid bacteria.
Yogurt, sausages, cheese, sauerkraut, kimchi, soy sauce
Name the five nitrogenous bases in DNA and RNA.
Adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and uracil
These two organelles contain genetic material that is located separately from the nucleus
What are the mitochondria and chloroplast?
This substance is produced by microbes to defend against or kill other microbes.
What is an antibiotic?
What are tardigrades?
What is mycosis?
Yogurt, sausages, cheese, sauerkraut, kimchi, soy sauce
Peptidoglycan, capsule
What is the most important monosaccharide for us humans?
What is D-Glucose?
Name one cell structure that prokaryotes and eukaryotes have in common.
Ribosomes, plasma membrane, DNA
This pathogen causes a disease known as consumption by the Victorians and the most famous symptom is coughing blood.
What is Mycobacterium tuberculosis?
This pest feeds on dead skin, can worsen allergies, and might live in your home!
What are dust mites (Family Pyroglyphidae)?
This method of horizontal gene transfer involves bacteriophages.
What is transduction?
This bond describes the interaction between two cysteines.
What is a disulfide bond?
This structure is responsible for DNA separation during mitosis.
What are microtubules?
Be careful when you swim! This bacteria can swim up your nose and cause primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) :)
What is Naegleria fowleri?
This fungal infection commonly targets the tongue and gential areas! Double points if you know the name of the fungus that causes this illness. Half points if you only know the common name :(
What is Candidiasis/Candida albicans?
This method of bacteria replication involves chromosomal duplication and then cell division.
What is binary fission?
Inhibitor A increases the apparent KM without affecting Vmax, whereas Inhibitor B decreases the apparent values of KM and Vmax. What types of inhibitors are Inhibitors A and B?
a. irreversible; mixed
b. competitive; uncompetitive
c. pure noncompetitive; competitive
b. competitive; uncompetitive
This organelle is responsible for oxidative reactions in plant cells.
What is a peroxisome?
Free for all! Name any pathogen that can spread via the fecal-oral route!
Typhoid, cholera, polio, hepatitis, norovirus, polio, salmonella
This prokaryotic parasite can spread via water or undercooked meat and commonly infects dogs.
What is Giardia intestinalis?
This structure is a circular piece of genetic material that allows bacteria to facilitate host invasion and infection.
What is a virulence plasmid?
This pathway requires an interaction between C1q and C-reactive protein.
What is the classical pathway of complementation?
