Exam 2:Appendages and internal structures Flashcards
_________ are long, semi rigid and filamentous appendage, aids in motility.-acts as a spinning motor, propels cell in forward direction-_______ motility involves expenditure of cellular energy
flagella
Flagellum has 3 basic parts(acts like PAMP)_______ long whiplike structure of constant diameter -no covering - structural component globular protein
Filament
Flagellum has 3 basic parts(acts like PAMP)_______ wider part to which filament is attached
Hook
Flagellum has 3 basic parts(acts like PAMP)_______ anchors flagellum to the cell wall and membrane-includes a central rod inserted into a series of ringsGram Positive _______Gram Negative _______
Basal BodyGram positive - one pair of rings which is attached to plasma membrane.Gram negative - two pair of ringsouter pair attaches to cell wallinner pair attaches to plasma membrane
Flagella arrangement:______ single polar flagella ex. pseudomonas aeroginosa
monotrichous
Flagella arrangement:_____ flagella distributed over entire surface, functions in unison as a single unit
peritrichous
Flagella arrangement:_______ tuft of flagella at each end of cellex. spirlillum voutans
amphitrichous
flagella arrangement:______ two or more flagella at at one pole of cellex: helicobacter pylorii, helps bacteria to cross the mucosal coating of the intestinal epithelium (virulence factor)
lophotrichous
chemical (chemotaxis)attractant (ex.nutrient) cells move towards it ______repellent (ex.toxic, heat) cells move away from it ________
positive taxisnegative taxis
Chemotaxis:attractant more ____ of longer duration and _____repellent more _____ and _______
run of longer duration and less tumblesmore tumbles and less run
chemotaxis:______ sustained unidirectional movement
runs
______ sudden stop, cells rolls over several times. changes direction and resume run
tumbles
______ also called sex ____ or F ____ or conjugation______ are shorter than flagella-usually 1-10 sex ___ per cells-aids in joining cells of opposite mating typesduring conjugation process is one of the ways by which cells exchange genetic material
pili (pilius)
________ (variation of pili)_______ numbers varies (few to thousands) distributed throughout or have polar concentration-aids in attachment to substrate as well as to one another -harbors _______ , ether at the tip or all along its length
FimbriaeHarbors adhesin Note: pili and fimbriae have piling proteins
Attaches to cells lining the urogential system (urethra and vagina) not other place
Neisseria gonorrhoeae and pathogenesis
