Why are encapsolated bacteria generally more pathogenic than un-capsolated strains. a. Because capsule allows the organism to hide in the body of the host. b. because the capsule causes the phagocyte to mutate c. because the capsule protects bacteria from host immune cells d. because the capsule kills the phagocytes e. because the capsule stimulates a potent immune response in the host.

Many viruses enter host cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, What is an advantage of this entry strategy? A. The virus directly enters the cytoplasm of the cell B The virus only enters its target host cell type. C. The virus is protected from recognition by white blood cells. D. The virus can directly inject its genome into the cell's nucleus.

Some strains of Escherichia coli bacteria have acquired the ability to produce the harmful Shiga toxin, normally produced by Shigella dysenteriae. Which statements best explain why this occurs? Mark all that apply. A. conjugation between two different species of bacteria allowed both strains of bacteria to express a virulence factor B. transformation resulted in expression of a virulence factor C. horizontal gene transfer between different species of bacteria D. transduction of a specific gene resulted in expression of new traits
Which of the following events occurs in the lytic cycle of bacteriophage T4 infection but NOT in the lysogenic cycle? a.both digestion of host DNA and viral proteins synthesis b.attachment c.viral protein synthesis d.digestion of host DNA e.entry
Why is a webbed plate capable of producing a higher lysate titer (pfu/mL) than a cleared plate? a.) A webbed plate has plaques that have gone through more rounds of replication because the number of host cells did not limit phage replication, creating exponentially more phage particles b.) A webbed plate has no more host available for replication, meaning the plate is full of exponentially higher amounts of phage c.) A cleared plate has less bacteria than a webbed plate, so there are more plaques present d.) A cleared plate contains more phage than a webbed plate because it started with a more concentrated phage sample
