2. Viruses from other animals spread to humans
|
contact between species
|
3. viruses spread from isolated human population to larger human population
|
spread
|
harvest the energy from sunlight but gets their carbon atoms from organic molecules
|
chemoautotrophs
|
rod shaped prokaryotic bacteria, may also be threadlike, or filaments
|
bacilli
|
the longer and more flexible spiral prokaryotic bacteria
|
spirochetes
|
spherical prokaryotic cells , sometimes occur in chains that are called steptococci
|
cocci
|
help prokaryotes move in their environment; protein tails that rotate like a propeller
|
Flagella
|
the second stage of binary division, the cell is elongated and the copies are moved
|
elongated
|
an infectious particle consisting of a little bit of nucleic acid
|
virus
|
hairlike projections that enable prokaryotes to stick to their substrate or surface or each other
|
fimbriae
|
DNA or RNA can be present in animal viruses, but mist plant viruses are made up of _____.
|
RNA
|
3 processes that contribute to viral disease
|
bleh
|
more complex cell walls containing less peptidoglycan and protective outer membrane- more likely to cause disease, turns pink under the microscope
|
Gram- negative
|
1. RNA viruses ______ rapidly.
|
Mutation
|
proteins secreted by bacteria cells, some of the most powerful toxins
|
exotoxins
|
A set of defenses that is activated only after exposure to specific antigens
|
Adaptive/ Acquired immunity
|
process of dividing the prokaryote in half
|
binary fission
|
white blood cells that are responsible for the production of antibodies
|
lymphocytes
|
composed of a harmless varriant or part of a disease cause microbe, such as inactivated bacterial toxin
|
vaccine
|
spiral prokaryote shaped like a corkscrew, rigid and short spirals
|
spirilla
|
when the bacteria becomes resistant to the antibiotics
|
antibiotic resistance
|
thrive in very salty places
|
extreme halophiles
|
simpler cell walls containing a thick layer of peptidoglycan, turns purple under the microscope
|
gram-positive
|
covers the cell wall of many prokaryotes, made up of a sticky layer of protein
|
capsule
|
any molecule that causes an adaptive immune response
|
antigen
|
obtain energy from sunlight, but get their carbon atoms from organic molecules
|
photoheterotrophs
|
components of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, released when the cell dies or is digested by a defensive cell
|
endotoxins
|
occurs upon the first exposure to the antigen, slower
|
primary immune response
|
the first stage of binary fission, the chromosome is duplicated and the copies are seperated
|
duplication
