The Aedes mosquito, particularly Aedes aegypti, is the primary vector for the Zika virus.

Penicillin works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial lysis.

Tetracyclines inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit.

Norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne illness outbreaks in the U.S.

Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent Hepatitis A infection.

Most bacteria grow optimally in a pH range of 6-8.

Salmonella is commonly found in undercooked poultry and is a leading cause of foodborne illness.

Nuts are a great source of healthy fats, which are important for heart health.

Cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli and kale, are rich in fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes gut health.

Lactose is the primary carbohydrate in milk, making up about 4-5% of its composition.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, a serious infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs.

Bacterial resistance to bacteriophages can develop, posing a challenge in their therapeutic use.

Actinomycetes are filamentous bacteria that resemble fungi in their growth pattern.

Spirochaetes are primarily characterized by their spiral shape.

The primary clinical manifestation of Astrovirus infection is gastroenteritis, characterized by diarrhea and vomiting.

Molluscum contagiosum is characterized by the presence of fleshy nodules on the skin.

Bacteriophages primarily contain either DNA or RNA as their genetic material.

Heating canned foods improperly can lead to bacterial growth, especially if the can is damaged or the food is not heated to the appropriate temperature.

Raw fish can pose a risk of bacterial infections, such as those from Vibrio or Salmonella.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the causative agent of tuberculosis, primarily affecting the lungs.

The variola virus is responsible for smallpox, a highly contagious disease characterized by fever and a distinctive skin rash.

High levels of carbon monoxide exposure primarily lead to hypoxia due to its binding to hemoglobin.

Many bacteria use nitrate as a terminal electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration.

DNA polymerase is the enzyme that synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand.

The primary fat in milk is saturated fat, which is present in varying amounts depending on the type of milk.

Bacteria in the human gut primarily help in the production of vitamins, such as vitamin K and some B vitamins.

Fermentation primarily serves to regenerate NAD+ to allow glycolysis to continue.

Mismatch repair is responsible for correcting base-pairing errors that occur during DNA replication.

Plasmids often carry genes that provide bacteria with antibiotic resistance, allowing them to survive in hostile environments.

The primary function of the Krebs cycle is to extract energy from acetyl-CoA through a series of reactions.
