5. Bacteria
• Prokaryotes
(no
real
nucleus)
• Divide
by
binary
fission
Can
cause:
• Food
poisoning
(e.g.
Salmonella)
• Ear
and
eye
infec.ons
hPp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
• Cholera,
diarrhea

6. Viruses
• Acellular
(non-‐living?)
• Need
a
‘host’
cell
to
carry
out
func.ons
of
life,
including
reproduc.on
• Can
have
DNA
or
RNA
• Mutate,
evolve
and
recombine
quickly
Cause:
• Flu,
HIV/AIDS,
smallpox,
measles,
common
cold,
herpes,
ebola
The
1918
flu
epidemic
killed
between
50
and
130
million
people.

14. Phagocy.c
Leucocytes
“ea.ng
cell”
“white
blood
cells”
Chemotaxis
(movement
in
response
to
chemicals)
aPracts
the
phagocytes
to
the
area
of
invasion
as
response
to:
• proteins
produced
by
the
pathogen
• phospholipids
released
by
damaged
cells
The
phagocyte
aPaches
to
the
pathogen’s
cell
surface
proteins
and
then
engulfs
it.
The
fluid
nature
of
the
plasma
membrane
allows
this
to
happen.
A
phagosome
forms.
This
is
a
vesicle
that
contains
the
pathogen.
Lysosomes
–
vesicles
of
diges.ve
enzymes
–
deposit
the
enzymes
into
the
phagosome.
The
diges.ve
enzymes
break
down
the
pathogen
and
the
waste
products
are
expelled
from
the
cell
by
exocytosis.
Review
opportunity:
• Plasma
membranes
and
vesicles
• Membrane
fluidity
and
fusion
• Endo-‐
and
exo-‐cytosis
