Across
- 3. Product of Superoxide Dismutase. It is an ROS which can damage cell parts.
- 4. mutation where a base is read as a different base
- 6. mutation a stop codon is created, ending the protein early.
- 8. Exerts varying damage to bacteria, denatures proteins, and generally just harms cells. In small amounts both effective and safe to humans.
- 9. Highly reactive, cell structure oxidizer, functioning as a highly strong and highly dangerous microbial controller.
- 10. mutation where the entire resulting protein sequence is altered
- 11. mutation where a base is removed
- 12. are simple compounds that kill all GP bacteria and some GN bacteria, along with MTB, viruses and fungi. However it is also caustic.
- 14. is highly volatile, and more effective when it does not evaporate immediately. kill bacteria including MTB, viruses, and fungi. It can prevent endospores from hatching but cannot kill them.
- 15. A nitrogen with methyl groups bonded to it, similar to soap but actually kills bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoans. Not sterilizing as it cannot kill endospores.
- 16. Neutralizes hydrogen peroxide, producing water.
Down
- 1. mutation where another base is added
- 2. mutation only one amino acid is altered in the resulting protein
- 4. Strong reactive oxygen species that damage cell molecules by taking their electrons.
- 5. Enzyme that neutralizes O2. Abbreviated SOD. Converts O2- and O2 into H2O2 Hydrogen Peroxide
- 7. Mutation bases have altered but the amino acids and resulting protein is unchanged
- 13. Neutralizes hydrogen peroxide, producing water and oxygen.
