  4. True of False: All multicellular microorganisms classified as Animalia are heterotrophic. True
  5. Microorganisms classified as Plantae obtain most of their energy by converting energy into energy. Light (sunlight); chemical (sugars)
  1. Define catabolism. Catabolism is the process of breaking down larger molecules into useful energysources.
  2. Upon cellular injury, which metabolic process is involved during the growth and repair phases of the cell? The anabolic process would be active as it (by definition)is involved in the building up of small complexes into larger complexes.
  3. In phosphorylation, the light reactions always occur where? The process of converting light energy into chemical energy (photophosphorylation) always occurs in the membrane.
  4. True or False: The Calvin cycle must occur in the absence of light. False. The term ‘dark reactions’ (also known as the Calvin Cycle) simply denotes the second stage in photosynthesis—dark reactions do not actually require darkness in order to occur.

2. The number of phases (3 vs. 4) and/or the number of times a loop passes througha previous phase (once vs. multiple times) is acceptable provided what happens? Either deviation is acceptable in practice provided the resulting gradient contains within it the growth of individual colonies—if not, the experiment mustbe repeated.

  1. True or False. Pathogenic strains of bacteria tend to grow slower than normal non-pathogenic bacterial strains.

FALSE.

CARBOHYDRATE FERMENTATION, WHICH MANIFESTS AS

INTENSE GAS PRODUCTION AND SWELLING—BOTH

TRADEMARK CONDITIONS OF GAS GANGRENE.

  1. The alpha-toxin perfringolysin is associated with which medical condition caused by Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria? A. Tetanus B. Botulism C. Gas gangrene D. Leprosy

  1. The envelope surrounds the of some viruses.

CAPSID.

  1. True or False. You would expect to see a viral envelope on a virus infecting a bacterial cell.

FALSE

  1. Rank the following viruses based on their size from largest to smallest: Paramyxov irus Poliovirus Smallpox virus Smallpox (~200nm) > Paramyxovirus (100-150nm) > Poliovirus (~30nm)
  2. What linear, double-stranded, enveloped DNA virus is the first virus (as of Oct. 26, 1977) to be officially declared eradicated?

Smallpox (Variola virus). Although once a major cause of death in the world, a smallpox vaccine was developed in 1796 by Edward Jenner. Global vaccination efforts have prevented smallpox from appearing in humans since October 26, 1977,making smallpox the first infectious disease ever to be eradicated.

  1. What small (~30nm) single-stranded, non-enveloped RNA virus targets the CNS (central nervous system), causing potentially catastrophic damage to motor neurons? Polio, also known as poliomyelitis.
  2. By whom and where was the first Polio vaccine developed? Jonas Salk and his research team developed the polio vaccine at the University of Pittsburgh in 1955.
  3. Which subtype of Influenza is the most virulent? Influenza A.

  1. True or False: The smallest biological unit of life is the molecule. false
  2. What are the 4 main types of macromolecules found in cells? Proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, and lipids Exam Page 2
  3. How many different types of amino acids are available from which to make proteins? There are 20 different types of amino acids.
  4. Define an essential amino acid. Amino acids are known as the primary structure of protein. 9 out of 20 of the amino acids are considered essential amino acids and cannot be produced by the human body but is found in the environment in other ways, such as the foods you consume. Exam Page 3
  5. Where can the two major types of nucleic acids be found in the cell and what are their roles? DNA- contains a lot of hereditary information which is responsible for the characteristics of living organisms that can be inherited. It is found in the nucleusbut cannot leave the nucleus. RNA- deciphers the hereditary information in DNA which is used to synthesize proteins. It is found in the nucleus but can also leave the nucleus. Exam Page 4
  6. Complete the following DNA strand and indicate how many bonds are formed for each complementary pair: 3’ GGTCATCG 5’ 5’ CC
