  1. HIV IMMUNITY VIDEO • What type of blood cell does HIV infect? • What receptors does HIV use to gain access to the cell? • How has Steve Crohn become immune to HIV? • What other topics that we have learned about does this relate to?

  2. What type of blood cell does HIV infect? • Helper T-cells • What receptors does HIV use to gain access to the cell? • CD4 and CCR5 • How has Steve Crohn become immune to HIV? • He has a mutation for the gene that makes CCR5. Since he can’t make it, his cells don’t admit HIV. • What other topics that we have learned about does this relate to? • Cell membranes, Genetics, Beneficial Mutation, Viruses, • Evolution, Immunity which is coming up!

  3. Prokaryotic Metabolism • (Prefix means where energy comes from, root is the carbon source) • Photoautotroph- Energy from light, Carbon from inorganic material ie CO2 (cyanobacteria-plants also) • Chemoautotroph- Energy from chemicals, carbon from inorganic material • (nitrifiers use ammonia or nitrite for energy, and produce the nitrate needed by plants-important in the nitrogen cycle)

  4. Photoheterotrophs- Light is energy source, carbon from organic carbohydrate or alcohol made by other organisms (purple non-sulfur bacteria) • Chemoheterotrophs- Energy and carbon depend on organic molecules (such as carbohydrates). (Most pathogens and decomposers)

  5. Read Wikipedia "Dental Plaque" • 1. Describe dental plaque. • 2. What is dental plaque composed of? • 3. How does dental plaque lead to dental caries? • Next Slide

  6. Read "Plaque Shows what Past Population Ate." • 4. Why is dental plaque helpful in learning about the diets of our ancestors? • 5. What is the advantage of using dental plaque rather than bone?
