24
Q

It’s used to classify organisms of the Domain Bacteria into 2
main categories, name them

A

Gram-positive cell wall & Gram-negative cell wall

25

A

Gram-negative cell wall

27
Q

Which one has 3 layers of different membranes?

A

28
Q

Name all the components of a Gram-positive cell wall

A

29
Q

Name all the components of a Gram-negative cell wall

30
Q

Why is this important?

A

Because Gram staining is a valuable tool in medicine; we can check if infection is caused by a Gram + or - bacterium and use the proper antibiotic

31

Which is more difficult to kill and why?

A

Gram-negative b/c of the extra layer (protection against antibodies)

32
Q

Some capsule of Prokaryotes produce a capsule, what are the 3 main functions?

A

1) protects from drying
2) helps to adhere/stick to things
3) protection from white blood cells

33
Q

In Domain Archaea, what type of protein is associated with their DNA?

A

Histones (proteins) (like eukrayotes)

34
Q

What is the “S” layer on cell surface?

A

glycosylated proteins

35
Q

True or False
They have a cell wall

A

TRUE

36
Q

True or False
They have peptidoglycan in their cell walls?

A

FALSE

37
Q

Peptidoglycan is present in which Domain?

A

Domain Bacteria (not in Archaea)
