Pages 22 through 29 and chapter 4 Flashcards
Filament, hook, basil body, embedded in the cell wall and plasma membrane, phosphorylation event causes motion, run and tumble, in gram negative bacteria
Flagellum
1) Specific for attachment to surfaces 2) specific for conjugation
Fimbriae or pili
1) carbohydrate backbone consists of nag and nam 2) anchor for flagella 3) structure of Peptidoglycan in gram positive bacteria 4) consists also of side chain and cross bridge amino acids
Cell wall
1) multilayer Peptidoglycan (thick) 2) outside a the Glycocalyx 3) outside Of the plasma membrane
Gram positive
1) E. Coli 2) plasma membrane/ Peptidoglycan and outer membrane (cell wall) 3) would release too many toxins if you used antibiotics
Gram negative
1) disrupts Peptidoglycan synthesis (fission) 2) without Peptidoglycan cell walls are weak, results in rupture and death
Penicillin used to destroy bacteria
1) produced by eukaryotes and bacteriophage 2) hydrolyses Peptidoglycan bonds 3) Weakened cell wall results in death 4) found in tears saliva and sweat
Lysozymes used to destroy bacteria
1) etc location2) encloses cytoplasm 3) semipermeable depending on size, hydrophobicity, concentration gradient 4) enzymes for Atp embedded in membrane
Plasma membrane
1) Outermost covering of bacteria 2) excreted from inside the cell 3)slime layer (loose organization) 3) protects Bactria from host immune system
Glycocalyx
The passive movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration To lower concentration
Diffusion
Diffusion of water
Osmosis
The pressure required to hold water back
Osmotic Pressure
Same salt concentration, no net movement of water
Isotonic
Lower salt concentration, net movement of water into a cell
Hypotonic
Higher salt Concentration, net movement of water into a cell
Hypertonic
