Vocab

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.

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.
