4 Main Groups of Disease-Causing Organisms (Pathogens)

Image
1️⃣ Bacteria Divided into: ✓Gram-Positive ✓Gram-Negative Gram-Positive → Purple/Blue Gram-Negative → Pink/Red 2️⃣ Viruses Classification by Genetic Material: DNA Viruses → e.g., Herpesvirus, Hepatitis B RNA Viruses → e.g., HIV, Influenza, Hepatitis C Classification by Structure: Enveloped Viruses → e.g., HIV, Influenza Non-Enveloped Viruses → e.g., Poliovirus, Adenovirus 3️⃣ Parasites Divided by Location in the Body: 1 .Protozoa (microscopic, single-celled) → Plasmodium (Malaria), Giardia, Entamoeba histolytica 2. Helminths (worms) → Roundworms, Tapeworms, Schistosomes 3. Ectoparasites (live outside the body) → Lice, Fleas, Ticks, Mites 4️⃣ Fungi Yeasts (single-celled) → Candida albicans Molds (multicellular, filamentous) → Aspergillus Dimorphic fungi (both yeast & mold forms) → Histoplasma

ALDEHYDES, KETONESAND Carboxylic Acids

  Define ALDEHYDES are organic compounds which contain aldehydic carbonyl (-CHO) as a functional group. The general formula of aldehyde is R-CHO or Ar-CHO where , R= Alkyl group Ar=Aryl group or hydrogen Define ketones Ketones are organic compounds which contain carbonly (C=O) as a functional group. The general formula of ketones Where R= Alkyl group or replace AR=Ary   O   || R-C-R Nomenclature of Aldehydes a) Common names of aldehyde An aldehyde has acommon name for the simple aldehydes which are derived from corresponding common names of Carboxylic acids by changing-ic acid into aldehyde For examples        O       || a)H-C-H Formaldehyde form fotmic acid             O            || b)CH3-C-H Acetaldehyde form acetic acid                              O               ...
