As I understand it, the main difference between the Bacteria andthe Eucaryota domains are that eukaryotes have a nucleus andbacteria don't. I understand that bacteria and archaebacteria haveenough of a genetic difference to be separate kingdoms, but why arethey separate domains?

You develop a series of antibiotics that inhibit the function of 70S ribosomes. Antibiotic A kills only bacteria. Antibiotic B kills bacter, archaebacteria and the protozoa that causes Malaria. Antibiotic C kills bacteria and archaebacteria.

A. Please explain these results. You explanation should include include all three antibiotics.

B. Which of these drug would you expect to achieve selective toxicity in humans and why?

C. Which of there drugs would have the lowest therapeutic index? Explain your answer.

There are many diseases such as diabetes and heart disease that cause mild peripheral neuropathy(numbness in the extremities). Please explain to your roommate why this causes people to be susceptible to micribial infections.

a.) Describe a difference between the RNA polymerases of eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

b.) Which of the following enzymes are known to be involved in the replication of DNA in bacteria?

Check all that apply.

DNA Polymerase I

RNA Polymerase II

DNA Polymerase II

RNA primase

ligase

1. Discuss and decide upon characteristics that define each of the following broad groups

(domains, kingdoms) of organisms in order to attempt to define these major groups of life

on the planet. Although many characteristics may overlap from one group to the next,

attempt to define some traits that could be used to definitively (exclusively) place an

organism into a specific group. Finally, for each, what would the small subunit ribosomal

rRNA gene sequence tell us?

Viruses

Bacteria

Archaea

Protists (algae, protozoa)

Fungi

Animals

Plants

2. For the previous groups, which include representatives of ones that live as part of the

“human ecosystem”? Provide some examples of each and where they can be found,

including both those that are part of our normal microbiota (i.e., not pathogens) and some

that are.

3. Considering the above and what we’ve covered about these groups of organisms,

identify some structures/processes that hypothetically could be used to inhibit or kill

different types of pathogens without (hypothetically, at least) harming the human host.

4. Consider the microbial world. Which has a greater impact or importance – pathogens,

or benign microbes? Explain, giving examples.

5. A number of antibiotics target the bacterial 70S ribosome, exploiting structural

differences from the 80S ribosome found in humans and other eukaryotes. Although

effective at killing bacteria, these drugs can still have some toxicity to humans. In the

context of the endosymbiotic theory of evolution, provide a hypothesis as to why this

might be.
