Bootcamp Chapter 9 Flashcards
Differentiate between the cell walls of eubacteria and archaea.
Eubacteria - peptidoglycan (esters)
Archaea - lipids in cell wall are linked by ethers
Gram positive vs gram negative bacteria
Gram positive bacteria have a thick cell wall and thus will stain dark purple
Gram negative bacteria have a thin cell wall and will not stain; require a counterstain; will show up pink
The ___ ___ is located between the inner plasma membrane and outer membrane of gram___ bacteria. This same space is located in gram ____ bacteria, except it is located on the outside/
periplasmic space, negative, positive
T/F? Both gram positive and negative bacteria contain exotoxin.
TRUE
___ _____. are acidic polysaccharides that are found only in gram ____ bacteria.
What is its function?
Techoic acids, positive
connect cell wall to peptidoglycan to cell membrane; provides rigidity and structure
What prevents bacteria from drying out?
capsule
T/F? Both archaea and eubacteria lack histones and introns.
FALSE - archaea contain histones; only eubacteria lack them
What kind of protist do slime molds fall under?
Are they mobile?
What do they feed on? How do they do this?
fungus-like; keep in mind that their cell walls are NOT made of chitin
slime molds can be mobile; they contain cilia or flagella
Decaying matter (saprophytic), phagocytosis
Dinoflagellates, diatoms, and euglenoids are examples of what type of protist?
plant like protists
Animal like protists are (multicellular/unicellular) and (contain/do not contain) membrane bound organelles.
They are heterotrophic in nature, but tend to be _____ and feed off a host organism.
unicellular, contain,
parasitic
Hyphae
Long, branching filaments that extend out and form a network with nearby fungi
Mycelium
a bunch of hyphae combined together
What is the mode of metabolism for yeast and for molds?
yeast - facultative anaerobe
mold - aerobic
As the individual hyphae of a mycelium grow, a wall called a _____ forms inside them. This separate hyphae into different sections.
septa
If septa are not formed within a mycelium, the hyphae is one long and continuous tube of ____ cytoplasm called:
multinucleate, coenocytic hyphae
When would one see a coenocyte (a large multinucleate cell) in a fungi?
when fungal hyphae or Protista divides, but cytokinesis does not occur.
Filamentous fungi may reproduce _____ in good environmental conditions, and will undergo _____ reproduction in bad conditions.
asexually, sexually
Describe sexual reproduction of fungi.
two hyphae of a mycelium fuse their cytoplasm during plasmogamy to make a pronuclei (contains two haploid nuclei).
The pronuclei will fuse in karyogamy to make a single diploid cell.
Diploid will make a spore forming structure that will send out haploid spores through meiosis
