3 parts of flagella
Filament
Hook
Basal Body
chemical stimuli
chemotaxis
Light stimuli
Phototaxis
if a flagella moves clockwise it
tumbles
if a flagella moves in a smooth linear direction it
runs
Internal flagella,
enclosed in the space
between the outer
sheath and the cell
wall peptidoglycan
periplasmic flagella
Which of the following best describes the action of
the prokaryotic flagellum?
A. It whips back and forth to move the cell
B. It extends an contracts to move the cell
C. It rotates to move the cell
D. It attaches to the environment and pulls the cell
E. It is capable of all of the above
C
Function in adhesion
to other cells and
surfaces
fimbriae
pili is only found in what type of cells
gram negative cells
it Functions to join bacterial cells for partial DNA transfer
called conjugation
Pili
Protect cells from dehydration and nutrient loss
Inhibit killing by white blood cells by phagocytosis,
contributing to pathogenicity
Glycocalyx
function in cell
wall maintenance and
enlargement during cell division;
move cations across the cell
envelope; stimulate a specific
immune response
TEICHOIC & LIPOTECHOIC
the outer membrane of a negative cell has
Lipopolysaccharides
this regulate molecules entering & leaving cell
porin
which cell is less penetrable
Gram negative cell wall
