intermediates for the ________ cycle and
can also make ethanol
5. Regulation of Bacteria Metabolism Glyoxylate cycle
The ________ _________ is a modification
of Krebs and replenishes the TCA inter-
mediates
6. Regulation of Bacteria Metabolism Fermentation
_______________ is anaerobic, produces
lactic acid and is what occurs when we
go from glucose to ethanol
7. Molecule binding upstream transcrip- -35 and -10

will allow a sigma unit of RNA poly-
merase to bind to a Pribnow box (in
prokaryotes)
8. _____________ are small, circular, ex- Plasmids
trachromosomal, autonomous, dou-

used in transfer of genetic material,
they are found in most bacteria species
(Gram pos and neg). In general they
are said to have: Resistance, virulence,
fertility factors (conjugation), and pro-

duction of metabolic
enzymes
9. The following clinical condition is Shigellosis; Shiga; Shigella
caused by a certain toxin that binds
to receptors on the intestinal epithelial
cells and blocks the absorption of elec-
trolytes and water from the lumen.
The bacteria involved is a gram nega-
tive non-motile rod. Its route of trans-
mission is only via human to human,
fecal oral or homosexual transmission.
Clinical symptoms include: Bloody pus
like diarrhea
The following clinical condition de-
scribed is ____________ caused by the
______________ toxin and also involves
the ____________ bacteria.
10. How do bacteria function without mito- They use their plasma membrane. Through this
chondria? they are able to create energy via the electron
transport chain and keep functionality going.
11. HIV CCR5
M-Tropic (macrophage-tropic) viruses
can infect monocytes, macrophages
and T cells and use __________ as their
preferred co-receptor.
