Chapter 3 and 4 Flashcards
coccus
1.spherical shape
- diplococcus (pairs) OO
- streptococcus (chains) OOOOO
4.staphylococcus (cluster)
Bacillus
- rod shape
- diplobacillus (pairs)
- Streptobacillus (chains)
- Straphylococci (cluster)
- coccobacillus (oval)
vibrio
curved shape microorganism (comma shaped)
Spirilla
rigid helices
spirochete
flexible helices
budding and appendaged bacgteria
form mycelium
filamentous bacteria
form heterocyst
surface area to volume ratio
- important for nutrient uptake
- as the ratio increase, nutrient uptake becomes more efficient (has a rapid growth rate)
bacterial plasma membrane
- protects cell
- can have internal membrane system
- selectively permeable barrier
- interact with environment (receptors detect/respond to chemical)
hopanoids in Bacteria
Cholesterol in Eukarya
passive transport
- moves from high to low concentration and requires no energy (H2O, O2, CO2)
- need large concentration gradient for molecular movement
facillitated diffusion
- moves from high to low using no energy
- use membrane bound carriers/protein channels
- size of concentration gradient impact rate of uptake
- transport sugar and amino acid
active transport
- requires energy (ATP)
- moves from low to high (against concentration gradient)
- involves carrier protein
- carrier saturation is observed at high solute concentration
ABC transporters
- ATP-binding cassette transporters use ATP
PMF (proton motor force) - has 2 integral protein, 2 ATP binding site, and one dolutre binding protein (able to move around)
- primary active transport
- use concentration of proton to drive reaction from low to high
Secondary active transport
- MFS (major facilitator superfamily)
- use ion gradient (proton) to cotransport substance (energy is burned to bring things in and out)
- symport (same direction) and antiport (opposite direction)
cell wall
- help maintain shape
- protect cell
- gram negative (thin peptidoglycan) and gram positive (thick peptidogylcan and outer membrane)
peptidoglycan
- made of glucose and protein
- mesh like structure that is crosslink
subunit of peptidoglycan
NAM and NAG which gives it strength due to crosslink of peptides
gram positive cell wall
- primarily with peptidoglycan with teichoic acid
- teichoic acid protects, maintains cell envelope and aids in host cell binding
- have a protein layer on peptidoglycan layer
periplasmic of gram positive
- area between the plasma membrane and cell wall (smaller than gran negative)
- has few protein (move through porous peptidoglycan
- make exoenzyme (amylase) and bring it out of the cell to break down starch in order to bring it into the cell
gram negative cell wall
- more complex than gram positive
- thin layer of peptidoglycan - does not contain teichoic acid but lipoteichoic acid
3.has outer membrane, lipoprotein, and lipopolysaccharid (LPS-contributing factor to those going into septic shock-fatal to humans)
3.
periplasmic space of gram negative
- made up 20-40% of cell volume
2.has hydrolytic enzyme and transport protein
LPS
- produce endotoxin
- made up of a lipid and two sugar (lipid A-endotoxin, polysaccharide core, and O side chain-protect host)
- connect cell membrane to peptidoglycan layer making it more permeable
- stabilizer for outer membrane
outer membrane of gram negative
- lies outside of peptidoglycan layer
- connects to peptidoglycan via Braun’s lipoprotein and other adhesion molecules
- more permeable than plasma membrane because it has porins and transporter protein
lysis
bursting of cells in hypotonic environment
plasmolysis
cells shrivel in hypertonic environment
layer outside cell wall
- capsule-protect from phagocytosis and desiccation (drying out)
- slime layer which is made of up polysaccharide structures that aid in motility
- s layer - glycoprotein which protects from pH level
Archaeal cell envelope
- only has s layer
- most have cell wall but does not contain peptidoglycan
- capsule and slime layers are rare
archaeal membrane
- made of lipid isoprene units (five carbon, branched
- has monolayer instead of bilayer
archaeal cell wall
- form s layers
- separated by psuedomurein
- psuedomurein may be outer most layer like in gram positive
function of cytoskeleton
- 3 found in eukarya and bacteria and 2 found in archaea
- cell division, protein localization, and cell shape
FtsZ
tubulin homolog found in Bacteria which forms a ring during septum formation in cell division
MreB and Mbl
actin homolog maintain shape
CreS
intermediate filament homolog which maintains shape in curved rod
site of protein synthesis in the cell
ribosome
peptidoglycan-like molecule found in the wall of archaea
pseudomurein
name of the membrane that allows molecules to pass but not others
selectively permeable
unique feature to some archaeal plasma membrane
have lipid monolayer
all of the following statements about the periplasmic space are true except
it is found only in gram positive bacteria
region in the cytoplasm of bacteria which is bounded by membrane that contains the chromosome
nucleoid
bacterial and archaeal ribosomes are known as what based on their sedimentation coefficient
70S
flexible bacteria with helical shape
spirochetes
spirochete
