Cards

Term
How does diversity arise?
Definition
Rapid adaptation
Term
How fast does rapid adaptation occur?
Definition
Can divide every 12-14 min
Term
What does rapid adaptation allow?
Definition
Rapid adaptation to new environment
-every replication will incorporate some mutations
-Many progeny in short time
-Many diff combinations of mutations-more chances of hitting optimum for any set of condition
Term
What is on area that bacteria diverge that creates a conundrum for humans?
Definition
Antibiotic resistance
Term
What is antibiotic resistance?
Definition
Produced by bacteria or fungi.They keep bacteria from doing what they normally do.
Disrupt things critical to bacteria function ( cell wall formation, gene expression, other targets)
Term
Resistance to antibiotics: Mutations can allow bacteria to... (4 things)
Definition
Reduce drug uptake
Transport drug back out of cell
Inactivate drug (metabolize, chemically modify)
Alter or amplify cellular target
Term
When building antibiotics, what is a fault in bacteria that allows them to become resistant?
Definition
They like to steal DNA, and can adapt easily. They can pass from those that are resistant to those that aren't resistant.
Term
Why is antibiotic resistance spreading?
Definition
Overuse and Incorrect use of antibiotics ( Clinical, Agricultural, Household )
Antibiotics select for resistant bacteria ( These can pass their resistance to other bacteria via conjugation or transformation)
Term
How does one overuse or incorrectly use antibiotics clinically?
Definition
They do not use the full dose of medicine given so the bacteria is not fully gone
Term
How does one overuse or incorrectly use antibiotics clinically?
Definition
Pigs are given antibiotics because it promotes meat growth
Term
How does one overuse or incorrectly use antibiotics clinically?
Definition
Antibiotics are added in soaps
Term
What is the Endomembrane system?
Definition
Group of interrelated organelles connected via direct contact or vesicle transport
Nuclear envelope
Endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi
Lysosome
Vacuoles
Plasma Membrane
Term
What are some organelles in the Endomembrane system?
Definition
Nuclear envelope
Endoplasmic reticulum
Golgi
Lysosome
Vacuoles
Plasma Membrane
Term
What is an integrated membrane system?
Definition
Endomembrane system
Term
Where does the traffic go through in the endomembrane system?
Definition
via vesicles - membrane encapsulated 'packets'
Term
What takes place in the endomembrane system?
Definition
Protein synthesis, and transport within the system and out of cell
Lipid metabolism and distribution
Detoxification of external compunds
Term
What are the two types of endoplasmic reticulum?
Definition
Smooth ER
Rough ER
Term
Describe the smooth ER
Definition
Lipid Synthesis-Oils, Phospholipids,Steroids
Carbohydrate production
Calcium storage for cell signaling
Detoxification-P450s
Term
Where does most lipid synthesis takes place?
Definition
Smooth ER
Term
What Lipids are synthesized in the Smooth ER?
Definition
Oils
Phospholipids
Steroids
Term
Why kind of production occurs in the Smooth ER?
Definition
Carbohydrate production
Term
What does the smooth ER store and what does it do?
Definition
Calcium storage for cell signaling
Term
How does the smooth ER detox?
Definition
Using P450s
Term
What kind of production does the Rough ER do?
Definition
Protein production for system and secretion
Term
What functions occur during protein production or system and secretion of the rough ER?
Definition
Synthesis
Folding
Glycosylation
Term
What is the gate keeper for vesicular transport?
Definition
Rough ER
Term
What are protein sequences?
Definition
Targets locations in the cell to tell where to go
Term
What is the initial target of the endomembrane system?
Definition
Signal sequence- targets protein to endomembrane system
Term
What are signal sequences recognized by for the endomembrane system?
Definition
Signal Recognition protein (SRP)
Term
What are dragged to rough ER?
Definition
Entire ribosomes
Term
How are entire ribosomes dragged to rough ER?
Definition
Injects growing protein through ER membrane
 Each subsequent hydrophobic alpha-helix causes it to cross back across the
bilayer
 Signal peptide removed from mature protein
Term
Where do things go after they are done with the ER?
Definition
Golgi apparatus
Term
Where is the Golgi apparatus?
Definition
Juxtanuclesar- near to the nucleus, outside of the ER
Term
What is Juxtanuclear?
Definition
near to the nuclear, outside the ER
Term
What are flatten stacks of membranes in the Golgi apparatus called?
Definition
Cisternae
Term
What are the two faces of the Golgi apparatus?
Definition
Cis-receiving side
Trans-sending side
Term
What brings materials to and from the Golgi apparatus?
Definition
vesicles
Term
What is the cis face for the Golgi apparatus?
Definition
receiving side (cis = on the same side as the ER)
Term
What is the trans face for the Golgi apparatus?
Definition
sending side of the golgi apparatus (trans = on the opposite side as the ER)
Term
What are the three parts of protein processing in the Golgi apparatus?
Definition
Modification
Storage
Sorting
Term
What kind of synthesis occurs in the Golgi apparatus?
Definition
Carbohydrate synthesis
Term
What are vacuoles?
Definition
membrane bound storage vesicles
Term
What do vacuoles hold?
Definition
Food
Contractile- have contractile membrane and allows cell to change shape
Enzymatic hydrolysis (plants)
Central (plants)- Stores inorganic ions, occupies space
Term
What of material are secreted form exocytosis?
Definition
Most hydrophilic materials secreted form cells start in ER and follow vesicle flow through endomembrane system
Term
What is endocytosis?
Definition
bringing stuff into the cell
Term
What is phagocytosis?
Definition
Cell extends its membrane out to surround and engulf particle- Psudopodium
Creates food vacuole
Term
What is Pinocytosis?
Definition
In nutrient-rich environment invagination of membrane closes off to produce nutrient containing vesicles (completely non-specific) completely nondirected
Term
What s the Receptor mediated endocytosis?
Definition
The binding of receptors to signaling molecules(e.g. hormones) causes a structure to form inside the cell than induces formation of a special kind of protein-coated vesicle)
Thought to strip hormones from receptor, stop signal but maybe not so simple, can be hijacked by viruses
Term
What are three things that antibiotics disrupt that kill bacteria?
Definition
Cell wall formation
Gene expressikon
Other targets
Term
How are antibiotics produced?
Definition
By fungi and bacteria or chemically synthesized
Term
What is the perinuclear?
Definition
location of ER- specifically around the nucleus
Term
Describe the Rough ER
Definition
 Protein production for system and secretion- Synthesis, Folding, Glycosylation
 Gatekeeper for vesicular
transport
 Membrane synthesis
Term
What brings material to and from the golgi?
Definition
The Golgi Apparatus
Term
What happens during exocytosis?
Definition
- Secretion of materials – most hydrophilic materials secreted
from cells start in the ER and follow vesicle flow through
endomembrane system
- Vesicles from endomembrane system fuse with plasma
membrane, releasing their contents outside the cell
