Q

Who has a cell wall

A

Plants,fungai,protozoa and prokaryotes

36
Q

Who doesnt have a cell wall

A

Animal cells, microplasmas and micobacteria

37
Q

Who has a cytoplasm

A

Eukaryotes

38
Q

What are endospores

A

What some bacteria produce when the enviroment challenges them.
Like a seed it allows for population of cells to overcome then germenate and sprout into a new population
The process is known as sporogenesis

39
Q

What are inclusions

A

Small structures within prokaryotic cells that contain compounds

  • magentosomes
  • metachromatics
  • lipid
40
Q

What are magentosome inclusions

A

Tiny bodies that contain iron oxide compounds, allow for attatchment

41
Q

What are metachromatic granules

A

Tiny bubble like structures that contain phosphate substance voluin, responsible for the production of ATP

42
Q

What are lipid inclusions

A

Little bubbles that contain fat

43
Q

What is diffusion

A

Passive transport where molecules move from higher to lower concentration without ATP

44
Q

What is passive transport ?

A

 when molecules move through plasma membrane, down concentration gradient, from high to low until equilibrium is established

45
Q

What is osmosis

A

 passive transport where water moves high to low concentration through aquaporins

46
Q

What is facilitated diffusion

A

Movement of molecules down their concentration from high to low through other channels that allows movement for molecules: + and - ions
Also involves the movement of glucose

47
Q

What is an isotonic solution

A

Solution that has the same concentration of solute and water on the outside of the cell compared to the solute of water concentration on the inside
solutions match: outside=1% inside=1%

48
Q

What is a hypotonic solution

A

More dilute solution.
The solution the cell is in is more watery compared to what’s inside of the cell. causes cells to take in more water and can cause osmotic lysis(cell burst) if cell wall is weak or damaged

49
Q

What is a hypertonic solution

A

Is more concentrated in solutes than what is inside of the cell
The cell will lose water if placed the solution, can cause plasmolysis (shrink)

50
Q

What is tonicity

A

Getting iv into cells in the body. Need to know how much water a person has in their body to help get IV fluids into a persons cells

51
Q

What is active transport

A

Requires ATP and involves transporter proteins moving molecules from low to high concentration

52
Q

What is group translocation

A

 changing a substance chemically so it can’t leave, does not occur in eukaryotes

53
Q

What is Endo symbiosis

A

The theory that eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes
Because prokaryote bacteria has alot in common with mitochondria and chloroplasts, Eukaryotic cell structures.
Prokaryotic bacteria 3.5-4 billion years ago
Eukaryotic bacteria 1.4-2.5 billion years ago

79
Q

Which statement best describes what happens when a gram-positive bacterium is placed in distilled water and penicillin?

A

80
Q

Which statement best describes what happens when a gram-negative bacterium is placed in distilled water and penicillin?

A

The cell will undergo osmotic lysis.

81
Q

Which statement best describes what happens when a gram-positive bacterium is placed in an aqueous solution of lysozyme and 10% sucrose?
