Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 8TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY When bacteria infect an animal, the number of bacteria In the body increases in an exponential fashion (graph A). After infection by a virulent animal virus with a Iytic replicative cycle, there is no evidence of infection for a while. Then the number of viruses rises suddenly and subsequently increases in a series of steps ($raph B). Explain the difference in the curves.

How might a bacteriophage be used to treat a bacterial infection? – this question relates to question # 2. Address specificity. Why can viruses only infect specific cells? Why would the host cell be safe from infection?
According to Philip Bell’s viral eukaryogenesis hypothesis, genes for the glycolytic pathway, theKrebs cycle, electron transport, and oxidative phosphorylation were all provided by:A. an endosymbiotic gram-negative eubacteriumB. an endosymbiotic archaeobacteriumC. a gram-positive eubacterial host cellD. a double-stranded DNA virusE. an archaeobacterial host cell

- Which of the processes of information transfer illustrated in Figure are required for the T2 phage reproduction illustrated in Figure ?arrow_forwardA Cure for Beriberi In 1887, a strange nerve disease attacked the people in the Dutch East Indies. The disease was beriberi. Symptoms of the disease included weakness and loss of appetite. Victims often died of heart failure. Scientists thought the disease might be caused by bacteria. They injected chickens with bacteria from the blood patients with beriberi. The injected chickens became sick. However, those groups of chickens that were not injected with bacteria also became sick.One of the scientists, Dr. Eijkman, noticed something. Before the experiment, all chickens had eaten whole grain rice, but during the experiment, the chickens were fed polished rice. Dr. Eijkman researched this interesting case. He found that polished rice lack thiamine, a vitamin necessary for good health. Questions:1. What was the observation?2. What was the hypothesis?3. How was the hypothesis tested?4. What was the result of the experiment?5. What conclusion could be drawn?6. Which of…arrow_forwardThe following graph shows the trends in bacteria and viruses after they infect an organism. Part A: Explain how reproductive differences between these two pathogens attribute to the differences shown in the graph. Identify whether viruses are organisms and describe how this graph supports your claim. Part B: Most antibiotics target the cell wall of a pathogen. Use the graph to explain why antibiotics can be ineffective against some pathogens.arrow_forward
- match.arrow_forwardChoose the correct the correct answer Viral particicles contain both nucleic acid and protein and can replicate inside of a host cell. Technically, this constitutes a "self -replicating molecular assemblage" which is also one way to define life. Therefore, one can conclude that a. Viruses are not living because they don't breathe oxygen b.Viruses are living c.Viruses are not living because they cannot think d. Viruses are not living because this formationis a simple repetitive process without the ability to respond to the environmentarrow_forwardUse the information to answer the following question. Two students were debating whether viruses are living or nonliving. Student A: Viruses are living because they contain DNA or RNA and reproduce. Student B: Viruses are nonliving because they do not grow and do not use energy. Which student's claim is correct and why? O A. Student B, because viruses do not use or make energy. Even though they contain DNA and RNA, many other non-living things also contain DNA and RNA. O B. Student B, because viruses do not grow and do not use energy. Although they have DNA and RNA, they are only able to reproduce with a host cell. O C. Student A, because viruses are able to reproduce and continue to spread their disease to other hosts. As the virus becomes more dangerous, it grows and becomes larger. O D. Student A, because all living things must have DNA or RNA. They must use energy in order to reproduce and make more viruses.arrow_forward
