Intro to Prokaryotes Flashcards
What macromolecule makes up cell walls ,flagella ,cytoplasm
Protein
What macromolecule makes up the cell membrane
Phospholipids
In which structures would I find nucleic acid
DNA ,ribosomes ,plasmids ,nucleiod
Cytoplasmic membrane in bacteria
Access in and out Metabolism Enzyme functions Energy production Communication Motility (gives energy to flagella )
What helps bacteria not get dried out ,evade phagocytosis and prevent bacteriophage attachment
Capsule and slime layer
How does bacteria change location
Using flagella
What keeps the bacteria cell rigid
The cell wall
Peptidoglycan
Multilayered mesh
Gives cell shape
Maintains osmotic integrity
In which bacteria cell is peptidoglycan thicker ,gram positive or gram negative
Gram positive
What is unique In gram positive bacteria
Techoic acid and lipotechoic acid
Endospores
Survival adaptions from unfavorable environments (such as heat ,drying ,radiation ,chemicals )
Endospores phases of life
Sporulation
Germination
Sporulation
Formation of the endospore
Germination of endospore
Return to vegetative growth when conditions are right
Gram negative location of periplasm
Between cell membrane and outer membrane
