Q

—– surrounds the cytoplasm

A

cytoplasmic membrane which is composed of lipids and phosolipids acts as:
- osmotic barrier
- site for energy production
- transport of important molivles
- synthesise new cell wall
- anchors the c/come

Q

in gram —- many peptidoglycan layers and 90% of cell emevelope material
in gram — one peptidoglycan layer from 2-20 of cell envelope

A

positive ( contains: tectonic and lipotechonic acid , extends into the environment for adherence and antigenic determinants )
, negative which contains an outermsmbrane , phospholipid-liposacride bilayer , used for bacterial cell adhesion , resistance to phagocytosis , molecular sieve and access of some molecules to cell wall and cytoplasm membrane

Q

——– extends from the cell surface
—— rotates and are required for motility aka chemotaxis
—- for adherence
—- are tightly associated — loosely associated and are polysacrides or protein layers surrodnind many bacterial cells which provides —– and plays a role in —–

A
  • pili and flagella
    -flagella
  • pili
  • capsules
  • slime
  • protection from phagocytosis and antibiotics and role in bacterial adherence
17
Q

spores are formed only by —- bacteria which provide protection from adverse condition

A

positive

18
Q

1-bacteria divide by — by which the c/somes divide into —- cells these growth in a hostile environment can create a selective —- for mutant cells which can presist , one mutant cell which can survive will rapidly grow and take over
2-growth requirments are:

A

1-
- binary fission
- 2 identical daughter cells
2-
- energy by catabolism
- building block for constructions
- appropriate environmental conditions ph temp 02 food

19
Q

emergence of antibiotic resistance pathogen is driven by —-

A

genetic variations processes and some antibiotic target genetic processes

20
Q

—- refers to the total collection of genes carried by bacterium both on its chromosomes and plasmid

A

bacterial genome

21
Q

1.—- is a topoisomerase enzyme , type II topoisomerase and it catalyses the -ve supercoiling of dna which releases tension in structure , this activity accommodates replication and transcpriton
2.— links the Okazaki fragments
3.—- transcribes dna to rna
4.mrna is decoded by —- and —– specify the exact aa sequence of proteins

A

dna gyrase , ligase , rna polymerase , ribosomes , trna

22
Q

the 4 steps of dna replication in bacteria involves:

A
  • initation
  • elongation
  • proofradifn
  • termination
23
Q

—- are small cicurlar extrachromosomal dna molecule , replicates indepemdtly , can be copied and transferred between cells , can confer phenotypic advantages to the host cell .
when they have multiple antibiotic resistant gene predominates within —– which makes it resistant to wide ranges of antibiotics

A

plasmids , hospital bacteria
( plasmid genes include:
- antibiotic resistance genes which often multiple
- virulence genes as toxins
- metabolic genes )

24
Q

—- most common source of genetic variations and is spontaneous or induced and their rates are 10-3 - 1–9 per cell division

A

gene mutation their types are: insertion , deletion , substituiton

25
Q

— usually only affect the amino acid encoded by that triplet codon and no changes beyond that , affects fuction , maybe a silent mutation w no effcet on protein function

A
  • subsitiuion
26
Q

—- can affcet the amino acid sequence beyond the point of deletion and they cause misreading of the triplet codon beyond the deletion point and are often referred to as:

A
  • deletion
  • framshift
27
Q

deletion and insertion aka —– often result in —- termination of translation as the stop codon can be generated by the frameshift ,
this termination resumers in truncated protein which maybe —-

A
  • frameshift
  • non-functional
28
Q

different genera of bacteria can be differentiated by:

A
  • shape
  • how they r arranged in microscopy
  • gram stain results
