Micro Exam 1 Answers Flashcards
Electron micrographs have higher resolution at highet mag, than those in light microscopes because
- Wavelength, shorter
Chemolithotrophs
utilize INORGANIC compouds as electon donor
Size of E.coli
1 x 2 um
Metric Table
What does Protein contain?
alpha helices
Lipids
- major building block for phospholipid bilayer
- cell membrane
Biochemical Reactions that require energy
Catabolism
- Peptidoglycan
- Periplasm
- Nam/Nag
- Cytoplasmic Membrane
What powers ATP synthase
- the flow of protons through ATP sythase
- ADP and inorganic phosphate
NADH
has the most negative Eo’ and greatest capacity to donate electrons
Redox Tower. Best electron DONOR lies
- at the top of the tower
- Oxidized on left/Reduced on Right
- more energy further down the tower
Autotroph (short answer)
- uses CO2 as sole carbon source
Eukaryotes has
- nucleus
- organelles
- 80 S Ribosomes
6 parts of Prokaryotic Cell
- Ribosomes 70S
- Pilus
- Storage Granule,
- Cytoplasmic Membrane,
- Nucleotide,
- Flagellum {RPS-CNF}
What happens to transporter protein during transport
- locaed in cytoplasmic membrane are an internteral membrane protein.
- OPEN UP LIKE A GATE
ATP
??Big Bucket Little Buckets??
3 Types of Pilli ????
- Conjugative
- Type IV
- Fimbriae
For every NADH that enters the elctron transport chain
3 ATP are generated
For every FADH2 that enters the ETC
- 2 ATP generated
- FADH2 enters latere, because it is more positive eo prime
Why do organims that undergo anerobic respiration generate fewer molecules of ATP per glucose molecule?
- no oxygen
- no mitochondria present
- glycolysis and fermentation
- energy is being converted to NAD
- stored in NADH + FADH2
Net ATP for Glycolysis, citric acid cycle, electron transport chain

How H2S and inorganic sulfur were used to generate ATP in bacteria that Winogradsky was styding
- electrons get kicked off
- anaerobic digestion
???? Why have prokaryotes remained small ????
*
How proton motive force produces ATP?
- chemiosmosis
- movement of hydrogen ions across a membrane during cellular respiration.
- Hydrogen ions (protons) will diffuse from an area of high proton concentration to an area of lower proton concentration
Who? A Particular Diseas was caused by a specific microbe
Koch
Who discovered Chemolithotrophy + Nitrogen Fixation
Winogradsky
Highest percentage of weight of a bacterial cell
carbon
What color would gram positive appear if left out the safranin step?
purplish blue
Reproduce asexually and no known species form spores
Archaea
Psychrophile
Low Temp env’ts.
What happens during gram staining
- Gram-positive retain the initial violet stain
- gram-negative organisms are decolorized by the organic solvent and hence show the pink counterstai
Who discovered a disease was caused by a microbe?
Koch
What is the process called when nitrogen is removed from the atmoshpere and creates ammonia?
Nitrogen Fixation
The oxidation of inorganic compounds
Chemolithotrophy
Barophile
high pressure.
What defines a prokaryote
- no cell nucleus
- no organelles
- archaea included
