Study Notes
Micro CW L2
- Organisms without a nucleus: Lack a nucleus; prokaryotic
- Organisms with a nucleus: Have a nucleus; eukaryotic
- Formation of rRNA and proteins: Ribosomes are formed from ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal proteins
- Genetic information transfer from DNA to RNA: DNA carries the genetic code and is transcribed into RNA, which directs protein synthesis
- Protein synthesis: RNA directs the assembly of amino acids into proteins
- Ensuring genetic information passage: DNA replication ensures accurate duplication of genetic material
- Extracellular matrix composed of polysaccharides: A complex matrix surrounding certain cells or organisms
- Bacterial cell wall component: Peptidoglycan
- Fungal/Algal cell wall component: Varies and can include polysaccharides
- Algal cell wall component: Varies, can include polysaccharides
- Bacterial genetic material transfer: Conjugation, allows direct transfer of DNA
- Motility components: Flagella, facilitates movement
- Flagella presence: Can be in tufts, single at both ends or all around surface
- Bacterial movement direction: Towards or away from stimuli
- Bacterial movement change: Change in direction in response to stimuli
- Microorganism communities: Biofilms/surface associated communities
- Cell drinking: Endocytosis as a means of capturing liquids
- Macromolecule production process: Anabolism
- Oxygen-independent process: Anaerobic respiration
- Enzyme activity interference: Inhibition of cellular processes
- Active site blockage: A type of enzyme inhibition, preventing substrate binding to the active site, inhibiting the enzyme's function
