Document Summary
Biol 1001 - lecture 8 - cell structure cont. Cholera: acute infectious disease caused by the bacterium vibrio cholerae, which lives and multiplies (colonizes) in the small intestine (noninvasive) Cyclic amp (camp) is a second messenger nucleotide in cells that activates other proteins such as pk. Cholera easily treated with antibiotics and rehydration therapy before sepsis occurs. Up to 4. 3 million cases of cholera each year, with approx. Aztecs - over 3 million died due to exposure to smallpox from explorer cortex. Can be transferred from humans, animals, and water. Basis for cell shape and internal organization. Enables organelle movement within cells and, in some cases, cell motility. Macromolecular protein polymers that are involved in determining the shape of cells. Very important because animals don"t have cell walls. One microtubule protein known as tau protein modified (hyperphosphorylated) during the progression of alzheimer"s disease - found in axons. Form a band just beneath plasma membrane - mostly mechanical support (classroomclipart. com)
