bacteria can’t be stained; species of mycoplasma, chlamydia and rickettsia

A

c. Atypical

28
Q

GRAM STAINING was developed by

A

HANS CHRISTIAN GRAM

29
Q

categorizes bacteria acc. to their Gram character; allows determination of cell morphology, size and arrangement

A

Gram staining

30
Q

outer layer enclosing the cytoplasm:

A
  1. Cell envelope
31
Q

prevent the cell from expanding & bursting due to water uptake; encloses the protoplasm

A

a. Cell wall

32
Q

present immediately beneath the cell wall/ inner surface of cell wall and separating it from cytoplasm

A

b. Cytoplasmic or plasma membrane –

33
Q

sugar coat; thick outer covering of the plasma membrane

A
  • Glycocalyx
34
Q

consist of polysaccharide molecules with the cell wall; thicker than slime layer; acts as virulence to evade phagocytosis.

A

a. Capsule

35
Q

– glycoproteins molecules; thin glycocalyx layer; aids in the adherence; protects the cell from dehydration and nutrient loss

A

b. Slime layer

36
Q

flagella, pili, fimbriae

A
  • Filamentous appendages
37
Q

for motility present in swimming and swarming bacteria; long hair like helical filaments;

A

a. Flagella

38
Q

longer, thicker and fewer in number than fimbriae; long conjugation or sex pili – aid in bacterial conjugation – transfers genetic material to another contact

A

b. Pili

39
Q

threads or fibers; tiny bristle – shorter and thinner than long conjugation pili; attaches the bacterium to surface

A

c. Fimbriae

40
Q

containing variety of organic and inorganic solutes containing 80% h2o and 20% salts and proteins; rich in ribosomes, DNA & fluid; site for cell’s biochemical and synthetic activities

A
  1. Cytoplasm
41
Q

protein synthesis; smaller than the ribosomes of eukaryotic cell

A
  1. Ribosomes
42
Q

vesicular tubules formed by invagination of plasma membrane into cytoplasm; principal sites of respiratory enzyme

A
  1. Mesosome
43
Q

most bacteria have single large circular chromosome, but this is not universal. Many species have multiple chromosomes, other species have linear chromosomes.it is located in a nucleoid and many bacteria contain extra-chromosomal elements such as plasmids.

A
  1. Bacterial Chromosome
44
Q

has ability to absorb excess of nutrients in the environment and they are the storage reserve for granule, phosphates and other substances. Can take the form of granules, crystals or globules, some are amorphous.

A
  1. Cytoplasmic inclusions
45
Q

spores” (simplified forms of bacteria) consisting of the DNA genome. Virtually immortal and can be re-activated after lying dormant for hundreds or perhaps millions of years. It can be nearly impossible to prevent infections caused by pathogenic species of class bacilli and class clostridia.

A

A

1 or more

53
Q

used for attachment to surfaces

A
