Introduction to Pathogens Flashcards
1
Q
Main differneces between pro and euk
A
Pro - smaller, no nuclear membrane, ribosomal differences, no membrane bound organells
2
Q
Gram positive vs. gram negative
A
Positive - walls are thick and made of peptidoglycan…can have teichoic and lipoteichoic acids
Negative - tiny bit of peptidoglycan…have LPS on the outer layer
