QuizExtra Flashcards
_________ are long, semi rigid and filamentous appendage, aids in motility.
- acts as a spinning motor, propels cell in forward direction
- _______ motility involves expenditure of cellular energy
flagella
Flagellum has 3 basic parts(acts like PAMP)
_______ long whiplike structure of constant diameter
-no covering
- structural component globular protein
Filament
Flagellum has 3 basic parts(acts like PAMP)
_______ wider part to which filament is attached
Hook
Flagellum has 3 basic parts(acts like PAMP)
_______ anchors flagellum to the cell wall and membrane
-includes a central rod inserted into a series of rings
Gram Positive _______
Gram Negative _______
Basal Body Gram positive - one pair of rings which is attached to plasma membrane. Gram negative - two pair of rings outer pair attaches to cell wall inner pair attaches to plasma membrane
Flagella arrangement:
______ single polar flagella ex. pseudomonas aeroginosa
monotrichous
Flagella arrangement:
_____ flagella distributed over entire surface, functions in unison as a single unit
peritrichous
Flagella arrangement:
_______ tuft of flagella at each end of cell
ex. spirlillum voutans
amphitrichous
flagella arrangement:
______ two or more flagella at at one pole of cell
ex: helicobacter pylorii, helps bacteria to cross the mucosal coating of the intestinal epithelium (virulence factor)
lophotrichous
chemical (chemotaxis)
attractant (ex.nutrient) cells move towards it ______
repellent (ex.toxic, heat) cells move away from it ________
positive taxis
negative taxis
Chemotaxis:
attractant more ____ of longer duration and _____
repellent more _____ and _______
run of longer duration and less tumbles
more tumbles and less run
chemotaxis:
______ sustained unidirectional movement
runs
______ sudden stop, cells rolls over several times. changes direction and resume run
tumbles
______ also called sex ____ or F ____ or conjugation
______ are shorter than flagella
-usually 1-10 sex ___ per cells
-aids in joining cells of opposite mating types
during conjugation process is one of the ways by which cells exchange genetic material
pili (pilius)
________ (variation of pili)
_______ numbers varies (few to thousands) distributed throughout or have polar concentration
-aids in attachment to substrate as well as to one another
-harbors _______ , ether at the tip or all along its length
Fimbriae
Harbors adhesin
Note: pili and fimbriae have piling proteins
Attaches to cells lining the urogential system (urethra and vagina) not other place
Neisseria gonorrhoeae and pathogenesis
