Why is it favorable for protozoa to replicate with schizogony versus using simple mitosis? what are the different scenarios that can occur with regards to bacterial growth within a thioglycolate tube? Explain why certain bacteria require one classification versus a different classification. A botanist has been using betaproteobacteria to grow his herb garden, because betaproteobacteria require little nutrients to grow. His garden does not grow successfully, so he comes to you for help to develop the herb garden.  Which class of gram negative bacteria would you suggest and why?  Why was the botanist’s original idea not going to work?

Grisofulvin is an antifungal agent that affects: select the correct answer.  a) the chitin cell wall structure  b) ergosterol in the cell membrane c) the formation of the mitotic spindle in mitosis  d) the 50s ribosomal subunit and thus protein synthesis e) mRNA synthesis

The peptidoglycan of bacteria has been compared with the chainmail worn beneath medieval knight’s suits of armor. It provides both protection and flexibility. Describe other structures in biology that have an analogous function. How are they replaced or modified to accommodate the growth of the inhabitant.

3. A division in Eukaryotes that involves nuclear division without a cytokinesis will lead to the formation of: a) Baeocyte b) Mycellia c) Syncitium d) Myofibril e) all the above 4) All the following are critical factors in determining the effectiveness of an antimicrobial agent except: a) Population size b) Species c) Location d) pH e) Temperature

In stages of bacterial growth, this is the phase where the bacterium adjusts to the new environment and the start of biosynthesis although increase in cell mass is not evident. Question options: Period of Rejuvenescence Log Phase Plateau Phase Exponential Phase

Under the endosymbiotic theory for the origin of the eukaryotic cell. The ancestor of mitochondria and chloroplasts original became part of mutualism with a larger host cell. Which of the following best explains this mutualism?     A) The mitochondria and chloroplasts provided specialized reproduction as part of the proto-germ line while the larger host cell provided energy for growth and reproduction.     B) The mitochondria and chloroplasts provided gene products that could be used by the larger host cell for improved parasitization.     C) The mitochondria and chloroplasts provided molecular energy in return for protection by the larger host cell.     D) The mitochondria and chloroplasts produce toxins that the larger cell utilized to defend itself from other cells mutually increasing the defense of all those involved.

Why is a compartmentalized cytoplasm unusual in bacteria?

Most medically useful antibiotics interfere with either peptidoglycan synthesis or ribosome function. Why would the cell membrane be a poor target for antimicrobial medication?

These structures allow bacteria to have reserve deposits of lipids or gasses. O a) inclusions Ob) ribosomes Oc) endospores
