Q

inward folding of the cell membrane cellular respiration takes place in bacteria

25
single, long, supercoiled circular DNA molecule control center of the bacterial cell capable of repeating itself
Chromosomes
26
small, circular molecules of part of double-stranded DNA, not part of the chromosome contain 10 to hundred gene
Plasmid
27
semi-fluid, consists of water, enzyme: dissolved oxygen, waste products, essential nutrients, proteins and carb, and lipids no organelle
cytoplasm
28
most of these are polyribosomes or polysomes
Cytoplasmic particles
29
rigid exterior cell wall that defines the shape of bacteria consists of a complex macromolecule known as peptidoglycan
bacterial cell wall
30
thick layer
Gram Positive Bacteria
31
thinner layer
Gram Negative Bacteria
32
the most widely used procedure for staining bacteria
Gram Stain
33
developed Gram strain, over a century age
Dr. Hans Christian Gram
34
slimy, gelatinous, material produced by the cell membrane and secreted the cell wall
Glycocalyx
35
not highly organized and is not firmly attached to the cell wall
slime layer
36
highly organized and firmly attached to the cell wall
capsule
37
thread-like protein appendages that enable the bacteria to move
Flagella
38
Flagellated bacteria are said to be motile:
Monotrichous Lophotrichous Amphithrichous Peritrichous
39
hair-like structures, most often observed on Gram Negative bacteria
Pili and Fimbriae
40
formed by a few bacteria when the environment is unfavorable for their survival
Endospores
41
processs of forming endospore resistant to heat, cold, drying and most chemicals
Sporulation
42
prokaryotic cells reproduce by
Binary fission
43
varies from one bacterial species to another
Generation time
44
eukaryotic cell reproduce in a process called
Mitosis
45
type of division that gives rise to daughter cells for the purpose of tissue growth, regeneration or asexual reproduction
MITOSIS
45
type of division that gives rise to daughter cells for the purpose of tissue growth, regeneration or asexual reproduction
MITOSIS
46
is the science of classification of living organism
Taxonomy
47
3 interrelated areas of taxonomy
Classification Nomenclature Identification
48
arrangement of organisms into taxonomic group (taxa)
classification
49
assignment of names
nomenclature
50
process of determining whether as isolate belongs to a taxa
identification
51
established the binomial nomenclature (genus+specific epithet)
Carolus Linnaeus
52
capitalize the first letter
Genus
53
not capitalize
Soecific epithet
54
In 1978, proposed elevating the three cell types to a level above kingdom called DOMAIN
Carl R. Woese
55
cells are classified into three types;
Archaeabacteria Eubacteria Eukarya
