bacteria Flashcards
(52 cards)
how many domains and kingdoms do bacteria have
2 each
1st domain
domain archaea
domain archaea
do NOT have peptidoglycan in cell wall
live in extreme environments
kingdom archaebacteria
domain bacteria
HAVE peptidoglycan in cell wall
live in normal environments
kingdom of eubacteria
prokaryotic bacteria don’t have
nucleus and membrane bound organelles
prokaryotic bacteria do have
cell wall
cytoplasm
cell membrane
ribosomes
capsule
nucleoid
plasmid
pilli
flagella
capsule
shell covering the cell wall that helps to protects the cell
nucleoid
single-stranded closed loop of dna that is free floating in the cytoplasm
plasmid
small loop of dna
pilli
short, hair like structures on the surface of the cell that helps to hold onto the host cell
flagella
whiplike structure in the surface of that cell and helps aid movement
shape
cocci
bacilli
spiralla
cocci
spherical shape
bacilli
rod shape
spiralla
spiral shape
patterns
mono(one) diplo(two) staphlo(clump) strepto(chain)
gram stain
staining technique used to distinguish differences in bacterial cell walls
gram stains help doctors
know which antibiotics to use
results of gram stain
gram positive stains purple-has thick layer of peptidoglycan in cell wall
gram negative stains pink-has thin layer of peptidoglycan
binary fission
type of asexual reproduction
creates 2 identical cells
some bacteria can do this in 20 mins,producing a ton of bacteria very quickly
steps of binary fission
1-copies closed loop of dna(nucleoid)
2-cell grows larger
3-wall forms in the middle wilhich splits the cell in two(each new cell a copy of the nucleoid)
conjugation
type of sexual reproduction
2nd cell has different genetic material than first one
NOT IDENTICAL
steps of conjugation
1-one bacteria forms a pilus that connects it to another cell
2-first bacterial cell uses the pilus to transfer all or part of its dna
metabolism
All the chemical reactions that occur in an organism
