When given an unknown bacterial sample the first step is to

expand the current bacterial population. Which form of media

best suites this need? Why? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > LB media

Correct Answer > Hemagglutinins because hemagglutinins are

involved in entry of viral particle into a host's cell. Whereas,

neuraminidase is involved in budding and relase of the new viral

particles from the host cell.

Chemotrophs can be subdivided into what two additional

subgroups? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Chemotrophs, which acquire

energy from preformed chemicals found in the environment, can

be divided into either organotrophs (removing electrons from

organic molecules such as glucose) or lithotrophs, which remove

electrons from inorganic molecules.

catastrophic damage to motor neurons? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Polio

(poliomyelitis)

Chemotrophs utilize which form of phosphorylation? - ✔✔✔ Correct

Answer > Chemotrophs use oxidative phosphorylation (as opposed

to photo or substrate-level phosphorylation). Oxidative

phosphorylation utilizes the energy released by the chemical

oxidation of nutrients to reform ATP.

aerobic (presence of oxygen) conditions. Notably, respiration is

more efficient that fermentation.

within

a nucleus

by converting light energy into chemical energy - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer

How are the TCA and ETC related? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > The end

products of the Kreb's (TCA) cycle are used to fuel the electron

transport chain. In other words, as the Kreb's cycle (TCA)

produces an abundance of reduced electron carriers (NADH and

FADH2), it fuels the ETC. As the electrons are transferred from

NADH/FADH2 to terminal electron acceptors a proton motor

force is generated, ATP synthase is activated and up to 34

molecules of ATP can be produced.

what type of organism?

A. Bacteria

B. Eukarya

C. Archaea

D. Virus - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > B

Define catabolism. - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Catabolism is the process

of breaking down larger molecules into useful energy sources

Upon cellular injury, which metabolic process is involved during

the growth and repair phases ofthe cell? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > The

anabolic process would be active as it (by definition) is involved

in the building up of small complexes into larger complexes.

In the absence of sugars, are entirely different metabolic

pathways used to process alternative sugar sources (fructose or

lactose)? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > No. Additional enzymatic steps are

simply required at the beginning of catabolism to convert

complex sugars into the usable forms of either glucose or a

glucose intermediate (glucose- 6 - phosphate).

A defining characteristic of fungi is the presence of chitin in the

cell walls. Which of following also contain chitin?

A. Mushrooms

B. Bacteria

C. Yeast
