3.Morphology, Cell Arrangements, And Functional Anatomy Of Prokaryotic Cells Flashcards
A bacillus:
Is a Rod shaped bacterium
A general term for any network of polysaccharide or protein
Glycocalyx
Is important for motility and attachment and filtering of chemical compounds (antibiotics)
Slime layer
“……..” or surface layer: composed of glycoproteins and lipids and polysaccharide and peptides.Released to outside of the cell produces a substance to form bio films in G+ and G-Ev and Archea system
S-Layer
The function of S-Layer:
Hint: A M F Por Imp Avoiding
Attachment Motility Filtration Porous structure Important for defense mechanism helps the bacteria to sustain in adverse conditions
Avoiding being attacked by their competitors
Functions of Slime layer(glycocalyx);
Hint;
Interaction
Prom
Prot
Capsule
To diverse microbial his interactions, both beneficial and pathogenic,
Promotes adherence (surface, host cell)
Protects bacteria cells from hostile environments and immune cells.
Capsule polysaccharide are recognized by host cells
“………” formation represents a protected mode of growth that allows cells to survive in hostile environments and olso disperse to colonize new niches
Biofilms
The structure and arrangement of “……..” differ from species to species and seem to be related to the specific environments in which the cells live. Can also be arranged on the cell body in a variety of configuration, including single polar, multiple polar
Flagella
Flagella in depth:
Hint;
Outside
Made
Attached
Anchored
Outside cell wall
Made of chains of flagellin (made of proteins)
Attached to a protein hook
Anchored to the wall and membrane by the basal body
Flagella proteins are:
H antigens
“……” also called endoflagella, it is in spirochetes and are anchored at one end of the cell, the rotation cause the cell to move
Axial filament
Types of bacterial motility:
- pili
- gliding motility
- twitching motility
When it prevents osmotic lysis and are made of peptidoglycan:
The cell wall
Gram positive cell wall:
Thick peptidoglycan
Teichoic acids
Gram negative cell wall:
Thin peptidoglycan
Outer membrane
Periplasmic space
