week 3: lab 7 (Bacterial Motility: Hanging Drop Method)... Flashcards
Causes a “run and tumble” phenomenon where bacteria changes directions frequently.
Flagellar movement
When water molecules collide with the cells to make them move
Brownian movement
When cells don’t move far in any particular direction. They shake in place and is NOT considered true motility.
Brownian movement
Chemical movement
Chemotaxis
Movement of bacteria in response to a chemical stimuli
Chemotaxis
Positive stimuli of chemotaxis
Moves toward
Negative stimuli for chemotaxis
Swim away
A method that has a drop of fluid containing bacteria hanging under a cover slip in the well of depression slide
Hanging - Drop Method
A structure that is used to propel the organism through a fluid environment
