|
Definition
Uses viral vector (virus) to deliver genetic material into a cell. Then the virus takes the DNA from one cell and adds it to another.

Term
| What are the two kingdoms of bacteria? How do they differ? |
|
Definition
The two kingdoms of bacteria are eubacteria and archaebacteria.
- Eubacteria has peptidoglycan in it's cell wall, while archeabacteria does not.
- Archeabacteria have unusual lipids in the cell membrane.

Term
| What are three different types of archeabacteria? |

Definition
Methanogens
Halophiles
Thermoacidophiles |

Term
| What characteristics are used to classify bacteria? |
|
Definition
Shape
Arrangements
Eubacteria or archaebacteria
Gram + or Gram -
How they eat/get energy/where they live |

Term
What is a gram stain?
Why do we use it?
What does it tell us about the bacteria? |
|
Definition
A lab technique used to classify eubacteria.
To tell whether the bacteria is gram + or gram -.
If it is pink (gram +) then the bacteria has a large peptidoglycan layer, while if it is purple (gram -) it has a small peptidoglycan layer. |

| What is the difference between a eukaryotic cell and prokaryotic cell? |
|
Definition
A eukaryotic cell has a nucleus (human cells)
A prokaryotic cell does not (bacteria) |
|

|
|
Term
| What types of bacteria live in different nutrition/environments (saprophytes, aerobes, ect)? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What are three different ways that bacteria can transfer genetic material in the form of plasmids from one cell to another? |
|
Definition
Transformation
Transduction
Conjugation |
|
|
Term
| What is antibiotic resistance? Why do we have trouble with it? |
|
Definition
Antibioic resistance is when a cell becomes resistant to our antibiotics (the antibiotics do not affect the bacteria).
This is a problem because more cells are getting resistant and soon we wont have medicine to stop the bacteria from taking over. |
|
|
Term
What is a virulence factor?
List examples: |
|
Definition
A virulence factor is the measure of pathogenicity of a bacteria (how bad of a pathogen it is).
Bacterial toxins
Cell surface protiens for attatchment
Cell surface carbs/proteins to protect bacteria
Hydrolic enzymes |
