Microbes & Macromolecules
This type of microbe contains peptidoglycan.
Bacteria
This describes the flow of genetic information inside a cell.
DNA --> RNA --> Protein
This group of microbes has a thick peptidoglycan layer and stains purple.
Gram positive bacteria
Antibiotics are effective against this type of microbe.
Bacteria
These cells originate in bone marrow but mature in the thymus.
T cells
This type of virus can enter a lysogenic cycle, integrating into the host genome.
Temperate phage
This microbe is an obligate intracellular parasite that lacks ribosomes
Virus
This structure contains non-essential DNA in bacteria.
Plasmid
This microbe lacks both a nucleus and peptidoglycan.
Archaea
True antibiotics are made by:
Microbes/living organisms
These are structures on pathogens that are recognized by the innate immune system
PAMPs
Microbes that can survive high heat briefly but prefer moderate temps are described as
Thermoduric
The protein shell of a virus that protects its genome is called this.
Capsid
The specific molecule used to classify Archaea as a separate domain.
16S rRNA
This type of infectious agent is a misfolded protein lacking DNA/RNA.
Prion
Transduction requires this to move bacterial DNA.
Bacteriophage
These small proteins interfere with viral infections.
Interferons
These organisms make organic molecules using sunlight and CO2.
Photoautotrophs
Which macromolecule is responsible for long-term energy storage?
Fatty acids or triglycerides
The process by which bacterial cells divide.
Binary fission
A bacterial structure involved in conjugation.
Pilus
One resistance mechanism bacteria use to rapidly remove drugs from the cell
Drug pumps
This is the portion of an antigen recognized by immune cells.
Epitope
This structure regulates transcription by binding the regulator protein in an operon.
Operator
These are the building blocks of carbohydrates.
Monosaccharides
Which type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome?
tRNA
This structural difference makes Gram-negative bacteria harder to treat.
Outer membrane
Only this type of bacterial cell can uptake naked DNA from the environment.
Competent cell
This immune cell type is essential for killing virus-infected or cancerous cells in adaptive immunity.
Cytotoxic T cells
Both of these domains of life contain operons to coordinate gene expression.
Bacteria and Archaea
This macromolecule is responsible for the transmission of genetic information.
Nucleic acids
These two things are required for transcription to initiate at the promoter.
RNA polymerase
Sigma factor
These structures allow bacteria to adhere to surfaces and can help form biofilms.
Fimbriae
Penicillin is part of what drug class of antibiotics?
Beta-lactams
These genes code for marker on the surface of cells like macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells
MHC class II genes
Which category of microbe would have the following characteristics:
1. Not harmed by oxygen
2. Does not require oxygen
3. Cannot use oxygen to create ATP
Aerotolerant anaerobes
