Viruses
Virus structure
nucleic acid
DNA or RNA
viral genome
capsid
protein coat
protects genetic material
envelope
membrane covering
helps enter host cell
Virus reproduction
host cell required
uses host enzymes/ribosomes
makes viral parts
lytic cycle
host cell lyses
new viruses released
lysogenic cycle
viral DNA stays in host
prophage forms
Animal viruses
RNA or DNA viruses
may have envelope
glycoproteins attach to host
retroviruses
HIV
reverse transcriptase
RNA → DNA
Virus disease
vaccines
prevent infection
stimulate immune system
antivirals
slow viral replication
do not fully cure
Prokaryotic Structure
Prokaryotes
Bacteria and Archaea
unicellular
no nucleus
no membrane-bound organelles
Cell shapes
cocci
sphere-shaped
bacilli
rod-shaped
spirals
spiral-shaped
Cell wall
protection
maintains shape
prevents bursting
bacteria
gram-positive
peptidoglycan
gram-negative
archaea
no peptidoglycan
proteins/polysaccharides
Other structures
protection
helps attach to surfaces
capsule/slime layer
fimbriae
attachment
pili
DNA transfer
flagella
movement
taxis
Prokaryotic Reproduction and Genetic Diversity
Binary fission
asexual reproduction
ne cell divides
two identical cells
ast reproduction
short generation time
rapid population growth
Mutation
DNA changes
new alleles
genetic variation
important because
large populations
fast evolution
Horizontal gene transfer
DNA moves between cells
spreads useful genes
increases diversity
Three types
transduction
phage transfers DNA
bacterial genes moved
conjugation
F plasmid
R plasmid
antibiotic resistance
DNA transfer through pilus
transformation
takes DNA from environment
new traits
Prokaryotic Metabolism, Diversity, and Human Impact
Nutrition types
phototrophs
use light energy
chemotrophs
use chemical energy
autotrophs
use CO₂ as carbon source
heterotrophs
use organic carbon
Oxygen use
obligate aerobes
need oxygen
obligate anaerobes
poisoned by oxygen
facultative anaerobes
use oxygen if present
can survive without it
Prokaryotic diversity
bacteria
proteobacteria
cyanobacteria
gram-positive bacteria
archaea
extremophiles
extreme halophiles
extreme thermophiles
methanogens
produce methane
Ecological and human roles
decomposers
decomposers
recycle nutrients
carbon/nitrogen cycles
nitrogen fixation
N₂ → usable nitrogen
helps plants
pathogens
Lyme disease
cholera
tuberculosis
useful bacteria
food production
yogurt, cheese, beer
biotechnology
PCR
CRISPR
bioremediation
clean pollution
