22
Q

these are for adherence, secretion

A

pili, fimbriae

23
Q

these are for motility/chemotaxis

24
Q

this is for antiphagocytosis and adherence

25
Q

cell membrane of bacteria do not have blank

26
Q

only two bacteria that have sterol

A

mycoplasma, bacteria that cause lime disease

27
Q

percent of cell membrane that is proteins

28
Q

cell membrane is important as a blank barrier, a blank of nutrients, and a producer of blank

A

osmotic, transporter, energy

29
Q

cell wall is made mostly out of blank and is unique to bacteria

A

peptidoglycan

30
Q

peptidoglycan in the cell walls is the target of blank

A

penicillin

31
Q

cell wall prevents osmotic blnk

32
Q

bacteria has blank in the cell wall that prevents cleavage by peptase

33
Q

gram positive have a very blank cell wall

34
Q

gram positive uses blank for its cell wall instead of blank

A

L-Lysine, DAP

35
Q

both gram positive and negative use blank in its cell wall

36
Q

these are usually electrically charged and are for gram positive (not gram negative) adherence to host cell

A

teichoic acid

37
Q

gram positive have blank cell membranes

38
Q

gram negative have blank cell membranes

39
Q

gram blank is less sensitive to antibodies because of cell membranes

40
Q

space between outer and inner membrane that only gram negative has

A

periplasmic space

41
Q

gram negative has this which gram positive does not

42
Q

LPS is toxic and can cause fever and blank

43
Q

three components of lps

A

lipid a (toxic part), core polysaccharide, o antigen (glycan polymer)

44
Q

o antigen varies between species and strains like blank

A

antigenic determinants

45
Q

lps remains blank even if the bacteria is dead

A

immunoactive

46
Q

thick polysaccharide attached to cell wall or membrane

47
Q

thin polysaccharide attached to cell wall or outer membrane

A

slime layer

48
Q

capsule is hydrophilic and does not blank

49
Q

how to stain bacteria with capsule

A

negative stain

50
Q

pili for adhesion and sticking to host

51
Q

pili for exchange between gram negative bacteria

52
Q

three parts of flagella

A

basal body (innermost), hook, filament (propeller)

53
Q

three rings of flagella

54
Q

this causes the mechanic force of flagella

A

proton gradient
