Gram negative (pink)
Has a thin peptidoglycan layer surrounded by lipoplysaccharides.
Erythromycin-type antibiotics kill gram -
-
What is Gram staining?
- A process to determine two diffrent types of prokaryotes.
- This identification process helps in the selection of antibiotics.
-
What are the 3 forms of Prokarotes?
- Coccus (cocci) = Spheres
- Bacillus (bacilli) = Rods
- Spirilla = spirals

-
Heterotophs prokarotes
Obtain organic nutrients from the envioroment.
-
Saprobes Prokaryotes
- Live off dead or dying organisms
- (decomposers)
-
Symbionts prokaryotes
- Live in other organisms
- some are parasites and can harm their host, some are neutral
- E. coli
-
Autotrophs Prokaryoytes

Actinomycetes
produce more than 500 antibiotics
-
mycoplasmas
lack cell walls, walking pneumonia

-
-
chlamydia
most common std in america
-
cyanobacteria
- blue green algea
- provides oxygen and nitrogen and carbon to the enviorment
-
proteobacteria
- purple bacteria- gave rise to mitochodria
- e coli
- Rickettsias- causes typhhus fever and rocky mountain fever
-
viruses are...
non living, a very tiny package of dna surrounded by a capsid. the capsid then attach to a cell wall or membrane, it enters the host cell or injects its dna, which interrupts cellular activity in host cell. then it reproduce in the host cell whic causes it to die or burst, which release viruses into the body.
-
which medicene can kind of slow a virus?
Acyclovir
-
what are viriods?
they are parasites living in plant cells which bind to rna in the host cells ribosomes, disrupts protien sythesis.
-
What are prions?
- infectious proteins which have no genetic makeup
- Extremly rare, fatal dieses of central nervous system in cows lol
-
what is a protist?
- they are single celled eukaryotes, which carry the malaria parasite,
- they do not
- develop embryos
- have extensive cell differation
- Are not animals, plants or fungi
- ancient protistan
- muticellular protistian
- complex protistain
-
malaria
- oldest disease
- greatest killer
- major hosty of plasmodium falciparum
- anopheles mosquito
-
euglenoids
euglena has a stigma which directs it toward light to carry out photosythesis
-
parabasalians Trichonympha
- live in the guts of termites which enables them to digest wood.
- they have their own bacteria which can breakdown cellulose into sugar
