The cells of males and females can be infected with chlamydia
Both men and women can be infected with and transmit chlamydia. It doesn't just originate in one gender or the other.
Chlamydia becomes active as soon as it enters the body.
The elementary body is the infective form of chlamydia that enters the host cell.
Yes, chlamydia get their ATP from the host cell.
Chlamydia derives energy from the ATP of the host cell.
Chlamydia lives off its host cell. It's an obligate intracellular parasite.
Chlamydia can't make its own energy, so it uses ATP from the host cell.
Chlamydia trachomatis has only the human host.
Chlamydia is a prokaryote or bacteria. Bacteria are living organisms, capable of their own metabolism and reproduction, even though they may infect host cells. Viruses are not alive. They are chemical constructs that require a host cell for metabolism and reproduction. Viruses have many of the same processes found in living cells, but they lack key metabolism and biochemistry that prevents them from functioning outside of a host cell.
Yes, you can be the host for chlamydia. All people are susceptible. Chlamydia is spread by sexual contact with someone who's infected. You can get it from oral, anal, or vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; or birth to an infected woman.
No, chlamydia doesn't have a final electron acceptor. That is why it needs to live within the host cells
