CELL WALL, CELL MEMBRANE, CELLULAR APPENDAGES Flashcards
• Rigid structure that surrounds the CM
CELL WALL

CELL WALL
• Composed of PEPTIDOGLYCAN
CELL WALL
o Exclusive to bacteria
o MUREIN
PEPTIDOGLYCAN

CELL WALL
• PROTECTION FROM OSMOLYSIS
CELL WALL
• DETERMINE GRAM’S REACTION
CELL WALL
• SITE OF ANTIGENIC DETERMINATION
CELL WALL
• SITE OF ANTIBIOTIC FUNCTION
CELL WALL
digest peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell wall
antibiotics
- Certain types of cells have no walls or have very little material
ATYPICAL CELL WALL
o Smallest bacteria
o Has STEROLS in their CM
o Have no CW
- Mycoplasma species
o Wall-less normal cells
• L-FORMS
o Parent cell have cell walls but are affected by factors that cause digestion of cell wall
Chemical
Physical
o Types of L-forms
PROTOPLAST (G+)
SPHEROPLAST (G-)
- Composed of a SINGLE LAYER of peptidoglycan
GRAM-NEGATIVE CELL WALL: OUTER MEMBRANE: LPS
- Thinner (10 to 20%)
- 8 to 11 nm
GRAM-NEGATIVE CELL WALL: OUTER MEMBRANE: LPS
- Lies outside the thin peptidog. layer
GRAM-NEGATIVE CELL WALL: OUTER MEMBRANE: LPS
- Firmly linked to peptidg.
GRAM-NEGATIVE CELL WALL: OUTER MEMBRANE: LPS
GRAM-NEGATIVE CELL WALL is consists of:
o Lipopolysaccharides
o Lipoproteins
o Phospholipids
Large complex molecule that contains lipids and carbs
o Lipopolysaccharides
o Lipopolysaccharides is consists of 3 components
- LIPID A
- CORE POLYSACCHARIDE
- OUTER POLYSACCHARIDE
GRAM-NEGATIVE CELL WALL is bonded to lipoprotein in the
OUTER MEMBRANE
- Peptidoglycan of g- cell wall is founded in the
PERIPLASM
GRAM-NEGATIVE CELL WALL do not contain
TEICHOIC ACID
- More susceptible to mechanical breakage
GRAM-NEGATIVE CELL WALL
- Responsible for the symptoms associated with infections by gram (-) bacteria (Fever, dilation of blood vessels, shock, and blood clotting)
LIPID A
- Lipid portion of the LPS
LIPID A
- Embedded in the top layer of the outer membrane
LIPID A
- Functions as endotoxin
LIPID A
- Attached to lipid A
CORE POLYSACCHARIDE
- Contains 5 sugars that vary from species to species but common in a group and phosphate
CORE POLYSACCHARIDE
- Provide stability
CORE POLYSACCHARIDE
- Extends outward from the core polysacch
OUTER POLYSACCHARIDE
acts as an antigen bacteria
- O polysaccharides
- Comparable to TA of g+ cell wall
outer polysaccharide
- Comparable to lipotheicoic acid of g+ cell wall
Braun’s
- MULTIPLE LAYERS of peptidoglycan (60-100%)
- 20 to 80 nanometers
GRAM POSITIVE CELL WALL
- Made up of an alcohol and phosphate (Ribitol phosphate)
TEICHOIC ACID
- 2 classes of TA
o Lipoteichoic Acid
o Wall Teichoic Acid
spans the peptidog. Layer and is linked in the PLASMA MEMBRANE
o Lipoteichoic Acid
linked to PEPTIDOGLYCAN LAYER
o Wall Teichoic Acid
o CM is dynamic or changing; Flowing CM
• FLUID MOSAIC MODEL
• For semipermeability
CELL MEMBRANE
o Regulate the passage of substances – OSMOSIS; o Protection from OSMOTIC LYSIS
semipermeability
influx of water into the bacterial cell wall
Plasmoptysis
diffusion (efflux) of water from the bacterial cell
Plasmolysis
• Location for specific transport system
- Carrier mediated
- Specificity
- Carrier mediated
PERMEASE
Solute can move in and out of the cell in either direction
o Facilitated Diffusion
From a region of higher to lower solute conc
o Facilitated Diffusion
Least type of bacterial transport
o Facilitated Diffusion
Lower to higher concentrations
o Active Transport
Require energy expenditure
o Active Transport
Much common in bacteria
o Active Transport
Similar to active transport
o Group Translocation
Carrier-mediated
o Group Translocation
The solid is modified when it passes the CM
o Group Translocation
Oxidative phosphorylation results in the production of adenosine triphosphate
o Energy Generation
o Used in biosynthesis
• LOCATION OF ENZYME SYSTEMS
o Important in absorptive food acquisition
• LOCATION OF ENZYME SYSTEMS
o Formation of the components of the cell wall
• LOCATION OF ENZYME SYSTEMS
- Movement of bacterial cells in response to chemical stimulus
• CHEMOTAXIS
- Some of the proteins act as sensing bodies of the environment
• CHEMOTAXIS
chemotaxis towards the chem stimulus
o Positive Chemotaxis
chemotaxis away from the chem stimulus
o Negative Chemotaxis
Cytoplasmic invagination of the CM
o Mesosome
Facilitates the separation of chromosome
o Mesosome
Origin of the transverse septum
o Mesosome
- gen term for substances that surround the cell
• GLYCOCALYX
- viscous, gelatinous polymer
• GLYCOCALYX
- network of polysacch/polypep extending to the surface of bacteria
CAPSULE
- present in some bact
• GLYCOCALYX
ORGANIZED and FIRMLY attached to cell wall
