23
Q

Archaeal mono layer

A

more stable and resistant than bilayers

24
Q

where is ion gradient formed

A

cell membrane

25
Q

ion gradient produces

A

ATP, proton-motive force

26
Q

cell wall fuction

A

shapes cell, anchors appendages, protects membrane and cell interior, prevents osmotic lysis

27
Q

cell wall major component (bacteria)

A

peptidoglycan, murein

28
Q

4 types of bacteria (based on cell wall/staining)

A

gram positive, gram negative, acid fast, mycoplasmas

29
Q

gram positive

A

thick cell wall, purple, teichoic acids, lipoteichoic acids

30
Q

gram negative

A

thin cell wall, has outer membrane, red, LPS, harmful chem resistant, periplasm

31
Q

Peptidoglycan held together by

A

NAG and NAM

32
Q

teichoic acids

A

(gram +) links to peptidoglycan (wall), regulate movement of cations, has antigenic variations, provides ridgity, adheres to stuff

33
Q

lipoteichoic acids

A

links wall to membrane (attached to phosolipid)

34
Q

gram negative cell wall is made of

A

lipid a, core polysaccharide, o antigen repeating subunits

35
Q

lipid A is

A

an end toxin, can only release if cell is dead

36
Q

outer membrane premeability

A

less permeable than inner

37
Q

porin

A

(-) allows small hydrophillc molecules to enter cell

38
Q

transport systems

A

(-)special proteins that allows larger hydrophilic things in cell

39
Q

periplasm

A

(gram -) space between inner and outer membrane, **contains murein, **proteins that help with nutrition, has enzymes, solution of cell wall precursors

40
Q

acid fast

A

mycolic acids (wax, branched hydrocarbon), slow growers, impermeable,

41
Q

gram positive intake nutrients with

A

transport proteins

42
Q

gram negative nutrient intake via

A

trans. proteins, porins

43
Q

mycoplasmas

A

no cell wall/peptidoglycan, contains sterols

44
Q

s layer

A

archaea, protein layer surrounding cell, selectively permeable, anchors enzymes, shapes, glycoproteins

45
Q

archaea cell wall

A

most have none, will have s layer

46
Q

capsule

A

well attached, uniform, prevents phagocytosis, retains water and nutrients, chemical protectant, involved in attachment

47
Q

slime layer

A

looser, prevents phagocytosis, retains water and nutrients, chemical protectant, involved in attachment

48
Q

exoploysaccaride (EPS)

A

released polysaccharide (sugar), sticky outer layer, gelatinous,

49
Q

biofilm

A

microbe community, made of microbes with slime/capsules

50
Q

acid fast nutrient intake via

A

small protein channels, slow

51
Q

murein is composed of

A

N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM), N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (NAG), cross linked peptides, D amino acids

52
Q

LPS

A

provide structural integrity and a permeability barrier

53
Q

mycolic acids

A

acid fast, branched
hydrocarbons, 60-90 carbons long)

54
Q

Psuedomuerin

A

Archaea, different linkage of sugar backbone and
L amino acid

55
Q

capsule and slime layer is made of

A

made of polysaccharides/peptides
