Study Notes
Competitive Exams for the Academic Year 2021-2022
Question 1
- Chemoautotrophic microorganisms can use CO2 as a source of carbon and inorganic chemicals as a source of energy and electrons.
- Teichoic acid is a component that lacks phosphate in the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria.
- Lipoteichoic acid is a component that lacks phosphate in the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria.
Question 2
- Types of inhibitors that affect enzyme activity: uncompetitive, competitive, and noncompetitive inhibitors.
Question 3
- Nitrosomonas is a chemoautotrophic microorganism.
- The most responsible factor for the nature of the ulcers on the foot caused by Staphylococcus aureus is Exfoliatin.
- If the blood culture is negative, the best explanation is that there might be a problem with blood collection.
The Etiology of Sore Throat
- The best way to determine the etiology of a sore throat is through a throat culture.
Virulence
- Virulence is the ability of bacteria to cause disease when presented with favorable circumstances.
Lyme Disease
- The laboratory test that would confirm the diagnosis of Lyme disease is the Borrelia burgdorferi immunoassay.
Spore Formation
- The stages of spore formation: sporulation, engulfment, fore-spore formation, and spore maturation.
F-pilus
- An F-pilus is essential for plasmid transfer by conjugation.
Gene Expression
- False statement: Translation begins at a site called a promoter.
- True statements: More than one RNA polymerase can be transcribing a specific gene at a given time, More than one ribosome can be translating a specific transcript at a given time, Transcription stops at a site called a terminator, Some amino acids are coded for by more than one codon.
Eukaryotic Gene Expression
- False statement: The mRNA is often polycistronic.
Multiple Choice
- The nitrogen bases in DNA are bonded to the deoxyribose.
- Spliceosomes are present in eukaryotes but not prokaryotes, and simultaneous transcription and translation occur in prokaryotes but not eukaryotes.
Short Answer
- Conjugation: direct cell-to-cell contact, donor: F+ plasmid, recipient: F- plasmid. Transformation: uptake of free DNA, donor: any DNA source, recipient: competent cells. Transduction: virus-mediated DNA transfer, donor: bacteriophage, recipient: bacterial cells.
- Selective mediums for Salmonella: LJ medium, XLD agar, and SS agar.
- True or False: IgE is involved in Type I hypersensitivity reaction, Immune responses are controlled by exclusion of cells from the site of inflammation, Cytotoxic T cells kill targets via perforin and granzyme B, Antibodies activate the alternative complement pathway, Pattern recognition molecules distinguish self from pathogen.
Additional Questions
- Microbial activity level can be determined by measuring CO2 production, O2 consumption, or ATP production.
- Carbon cycle in land: photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition. Carbon cycle in microorganisms: photosynthesis, respiration, fermentation.
- No significant difference between the water cycle in land and the water cycle on the mainland because the water cycle is a continuous process.
