Unit 3 Chapter 19

Slide 2

Latin = Poison A tiny disease-causing agent consisting of a core of nucleic acid, usually encased in protein. Not cellular Cannot move about on own Cannot carry on metabolic activities independently Pathogen a disease causing agent

Slide 3

Consist of a core of nucleic acid Contain either DNA or RNA (not both) Surrounded by a protein coat Lack Ribosomes and enzymes necessary for protein production

Slide 4

Slide 5

Classified according to common characteristics Type of nucleic acid Presence or absence of a protein coat Does not use Linnaean system

Slide 6

Escaped Gene Hypothesis Viruses were originally fragments of DNA or RNA that escaped from cellular organisms Some viruses may trace their origins to animal cells, plant cells, or bacterial cells May explain why each virus usually infect only certain related species

Slide 7

Viruses that attack/kill bacteria AKA Bacteria Eaters or phages Complex virus Used to be used in place of antibiotics and sulfa drugs They are making a comeback because of bacterial resistance to antibiotics Used to attach to bacteria

Slide 8

Lytic Cycle vs. Lysogenic Cycle

Slide 9

The life cycle of a virus that kills the host cell by lysing (destroying) it Forces host cell to replicate viral particles by using its metabolic machinery 1. The virus attaches to receptors on the host cell wall 2. Nucleic acid of virus moves through plasma membrane and into the cytoplasm of the host cell 3. The protein coat remains on the outside exterior of the host cell 4. The virus uses the cells metabolic machinery to make new bacteriophage viruses 5. Bacterial cell lyses and releases many phages to infect other cells 6. Results in the death of the host cell

Slide 10

The life cycle of a virus that kills the host cell by lysing (destroying) it Forces host cell to replicate viral particles by using its metabolic machinery

Slide 11

1. The virus attaches to receptors on the host cell wall 2. Nucleic acid of virus moves through plasma membrane and into the cytoplasm of the host cell 3. The protein coat remains on the outside exterior of the host cell 4. The virus uses the cells metabolic machinery to make new bacteriophage viruses 5. Bacterial cell lyses and releases many phages to infect other cells 6. Results in the death of the host cell Fig. 19-2, p. 367

Slide 12

Describe the Lytic Cycle. What organisms does it occur in?

Slide 13

Integrate their DNA into the host bacteria cells DNA Does not destroy its host Prophage when viral nucleic acid is integrated with bacterial DNA When bacterial DNA replicates, viral prophage replicates Bacterial cells carrying prophages are called lysogenic cells Can spontaneously turn to lytic

Slide 14

Fig. 19-3, p. 368 Lysogenic Cycle

Slide 15

NOYES Not cellular A cell is the basic unit of life By itself, a virus can do nothing It cannot metabolize It cannot reproduce Does not have the metabolic machinery nor cellular structures to do so Once in the presence of a living cell a virus behaves as if it were alive It reproduces by taking over the metabolic machinery of the host cell Uses the cells enzymes, ribosomes, and other components

Slide 16

Are viruses alive?

Slide 17

Viroid: Small & Circular in shape Infectious molecule of RNA Causes many plant diseases Prion An infectious agent Composed only of protein

Slide 18

Cellular organisms 2 Domains Bacteria & Archea 3 main shapes Cocci Spherical Groups of 2 Diplococci Long Chains Streptococci Irregular grape-like clumps staphylococci Bacilli Rod Shaped Spirilla Helix Shaped

Slide 22

Prokaryotic cell structure is simpler than eukaryotic cell structure Lack membrane-bound organelles No nuclei No mitochondria No chloroplasts No endoplasmic reticulum No Golgi apparatus Mostly Unicellular Small is size (typically 1/1000 the size of a Eukaryotic cell) Usually have a cell wall

Slide 23

Fig. 19-6, p. 371

Slide 24

Prokaryotes are heterotrophs Hetero = other Tropho = nourishment Must obtain organic molecules from other organism Most are decomposers They get their nourishment from dead organic matter Or they live in or on other organisms Commensals neither help nor harm their hosts Parasites live at the expense of their host and can cause disease Mutualistic both organisms benefit from the association

Slide 25

What is the difference between parasitic, commensal, and mutualistic prokaryotes?

Slide 26

Some prokaryotes are Autotrophs Auto = self tropho = nourishment Manufacture their own organic molecules from carbon dioxide Photosynthetic prokaryotes Obtain energy from light Chemiosynthetic prokaryotes - Obtain energy from chemical reactions

Slide 27

Most Prokaryotes are Aerobes They require atmospheric oxygen for cellular respiration Some are Faculative Anaerobes They use oxygen for cellular respiration if available, but will respire anaerobically when oxygen is absent Some are Obligate Anaerobes Carry on cellular respiration only in the absence of oxygen

Slide 28

Binary Fission One cell divides into two similar cells Conjugation Two cells of different physiological mating types come together, and genetic material is transferred through pilli from one cell (donor) to the other (recipient)

Slide 29

Recipient cell Conjugation pilus Donor cell Fig. 19-10, p. 373

Slide 30

Biofilms are microbial communities that consist of many species of prokaryotes In watery environments, unicellular organisms secrete a slimy, glue-like substance rich in polysaccharides They embed themselves in it. Ex. Dental Plaque

Slide 31

ARCHAEABACTERIA Absence of peptidoglycan in cell wall Most live in harsh environments Present almost universally Abundant in air, soil, water Abundant in bodies of organisms FEW PLACES ON EARTH ARE COMPLETELY DEVOID OF BACTERIA

Slide 32

3 Main Types Methanogens (methane producers) Obligated anaerobes that produce methane gas from simple carbon compounds Live in sewage and swamp sediments Common in digestive tracts of humans and other animals Halophiles Live in very salty environments Use aerobic respiration to make ATP Carry out a form of photosynthesis using purple pigment Thermophiles Grow in hot and acidic environments Found in hot springs and volcanic areas under the sea

Slide 33

Wall-less Bacteria Mycoplasmas A tiny bacterium bounded by a plasma membrane but lacking a typical bacterial cell wall Live in soil, sewage, or are parasitic on plants or animals Gram-Negative Bacteria that does not retain Gram stain/do not have peptidoglycan Gram-Positive Bacteria that do retain Gram stain/contain peptidoglycan
