Lag phase: curve increases slowly
Exponential phase: speeds up
Statoinonary phase: reaches carrying capacity
Death phase: nutrients limited, wastes accumulates

31
Q

T/F Bacterial cells are hypo osmotic relative to their surroundings.

A

no

33
Q

What are plant cell walls made up of?

chitin

35
Q

What is the main component in a bacterial cell wall?

A

peptidoglycan

36
Q

What color do gram positive bacteria turn?

purple

37

What are the step to performa gram stain?

A

crystal violet, iodine, safranin

39
Q

Why do gram positive bacteria remain purple when applied a gram stain?

A

The peptidoglycan layer is very thick and does not break down the cell wall.

A

mutualism
