exam 3 Flashcards
anaerobic
only grows in the absence of oxygen
photoautotroph
produces energy using sunlight
aerobic
requires oxygen to grow
facultative
survives best at low oxygen
chemoautotroph
obtains its energy through chemicals
pathogenic
causes disease
gram-positive bacteria have
a cell membrane and a thick cell wall
gram-negative bacteria have
a cell membrane, a thin cell wall, and an outer phospholipid membrane
when bacteria undergo cell division, they are clones of their patent cell. true or false?
true
what are two key differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes
prokaryotes are always unicellular, while eukaryotes are often multi-celled organisms. eukaryotes also carry DNA in the nucleus while prokaryotes carry DNA in the nucleoid
media that prevents the growth of some type of microorganisms and permits the growth of others is said to be
selective
media that allows you to tell whether or not a colony has a particular property is called
differential
nutrient agar
contains all nutrients necessary for growth
eosin methylene blue
eosin, methylene blue
inhibits gram positive growth
blood agar
contains sheep’s blood
any kind of bacteria can grow
elongated, rod-shaped bacteria are called
bacilli
streptococcus
line of circular organisms
diplococcus
two circular organisms
coccus
one circular organism
streptobacilli
line of cylinder organisms
what is a differential agar that allows detection of hemolysis
blood
what is a non-selective and non-differential agar on which all non-fastidious microorganisms can grow
nutrient
