Q

The Lipopolysaccharides a component of the cell wall consists of three compounds?

A
  1. Lipid A
  2. A core polysaccharide
  3. O polysaccharide
50
Q

What is lipid A and what is its function?

A

Lipid portion of the LPS and its embedded in the top layer of the outer membrane.

When gram negative bacteria die, they release lipid A which function as an endotoxin. This ends toxin causes fever, dialation of blood vessels, shock, and blood clotting.

51

54
Q

Gram positive cell wall vs Gram negative cell wall

A

+ Thick peptidoglycan - thin peptidoglycan

+ Teichoic Acids - no Teichoic Acids

  • has periplasmic space + does not
55
Q

What color does Gram + and Gram - stain?

A

Gram + = purple

Gram - = red only if Safranin is applied

56
Q

What is the primary stain that stains both + and - cells purple because?

A

The dye enters the cytoplasm of both types of cells. When the iodine is applied it forms large crystals with the CV, which are too large to escape. Meaning can’t get past the thick layer of peptidoglycan

57
Q

What happens to the stain complex of CV-I when applied to Gram negative cells?

A

The CV-I washes out leaving the cell colorless because the alcohol wash dissolves the thin outer membrane and leaves holes in the thin layer of peptidoglycan

58
Q

What are other ways damage can happen to the cell wall of both gram + and - cells?

A

+ has 2-ring basal body. - has a 4-ring basal body

+ cell wall is disrupted by lysozyme - cell releases endotoxins

83
Q

A

The pressure needed to stop the movement of water across the membrane until equilibrium is reached

84
Q

What is a hypotonic solution?

A

Solution outside the cell contains less solute but more water, therefore water moves into the cell causing the cell wall to swell until equilibrium is reached.

85
Q

What is a hypertonic solution?

A

The outside medium haven’t a higher concentration of solute and lower concentration of water than inside the cell, therefore water moves out of the cell to bring the system to equilibrium causing the cell to shrink

Membrane bound- meaning attached to the ER. (60s and 40s)

Free- in the cytoplasm

70s are found in chloroplasts and in mitochondria only

114
Q

What is the function of membrane bound ribosomes?

What is the function of free ribosome?

A

Synthesize proteins that are destine for insertion into the plasma membrane or for export out of the cell.

Synthesize proteins for inside the cell

115
Q

What is the largest organelle within the cell and what does it contain?

A

The Nucleus.

Contains chromosomes

Has a porous double-layered envelope

116
Q

What are the two forms of ER? What is the difference?

What is their function

A

Both are transport network

Rough ER- ribosomes are attached (for protein synthesis to be placed in the membrane or out the cell)

Smooth ER no ribosomes - it synthesizes phospholipids and also fats and steroids such as estrogen and testosterone

117
Q

What is the golgi complex and what is its function?

A

The golgi complex is the first step in the transport process after proteins are synthesized by the Rough ER.

Made of flattened sacs, which consists of 3 to 20 cisternae. This is the delivery system of the cell

118
Q

The golgi complex make these single membrane-enclosed spheres. What are they called and what is its function?

A

Lysosomes: Sacs that lack internal organelles but contain powerful digestive enzymes (lysozyme)

119
Q

What is the main function of the Golgi complex

A

It’s a Delivery system- collects packages and distributes molecules

It also modifies some glycoproteins

120
Q

What are the three ways the golgi complex moves molecules and proteins etc…

A

Transfer and transport vesicles when proteins are modified and moved from one cistern to another cistern

Secretory vesicles for transport of proteins to the plasma membrane

Storage vesicles like lysosomes
