BIOL 1002 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Lyme Disease, Cell Wall, Syphilis
Document Summary
Infects primarily plant cells including citrus trees, potatoes, avocados, etc. Protein particle that is folded wrong, causes other proteins to fold. Causes proteins in the brain to fold incorrectly. 8000 species described, may be 100-1000 that number. First organisms to appear on earth, 3. 5 billion years ago. Highly organized, firmly attached to the cell wall. Hairlike structure on surface of bacteria which aid in. Sexual in the form of conjugation using plasmid. Usually underground or inside a decaying or living organism. A structural polysaccharide of modified sugars the hyphae, found in many fungi. Haploid cell which can grow directly into a hyphae. Symbiotic relationship between a fungal species and either a cyanobacteria or unicellular photosynthetic eukaryote. Over 100,000 fungal species identified; more are added each year. Based on dna sequence data, on the present of septa in the fungi, and the sexual life cycle. Most fungal hyphae and all spores have haploid nuclei.
