Chapter 3 Flashcards
Antibiotic
Chemical that can stop or slow the growth of bacteria. (kills bacteria without harming the human or animal host)
Cell theory
All living things are made of cells. Every new cell comes from the division of a pre existing cell
Prokaryotic cells
Single celled organisms
Lack internal membrane- bound organelles
Eukaryotic cells
multi- cellular organism
membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells have…
- A cell membrane
- Cytoplasm
- Ribosomes
- DNA
Only Eukaryotic cells have…
- A nucleus
- Many organelles
Nucleus
An organelle that contains the DNA
Only Prokaryotic cells have…
- Their DNA floating freely in the cytoplasm
- No organelles
- Cell wall
Cell wall
rigid structure enclosing the cell membrane
Osmosis
The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower-solute concentration to a higher-solute concentration
Bacteria cells are either…
- Gram positive
- Gram negative
Gram positive
Cell wall with a layer of Peptidoglycan that retains the gram stain
Gram negative
Cell wall layer of Peptidoglycan surrounded by a lipid membrane that does not contain the gram stain
Antibiotics target…
Prokaryotic cells
All cells are surrounded by…
A cell membrane
