26
what is a biofilm?
structure/environment where cells live together
27
3 outer cell structures
flagella pili fimbriae
28
function of flagella
motility
29
flagella are found in _______ cells
*Bacillus*
30
bacteria move in a _________ movement
run and tumble
31
4 flagellar arrangements
monotrichous lophotrichous amphitrichous peritrichous
32
monotrichous arrangement
one flagellum
33
lophotrichous arrangement
multiple flagella on one end
34
amphitrichous arrangement
one flagellum on each end
35
peritrichous arrangement
multiple flagella all around cell
36
function of pili
connection with other cells
37
a pilus connecting two cells
conjugated pilus
38
\_\_\_\_ are used for movement to a lesser extent
pili
39
function of fimbriae
surface attachment
40
concentrated mass of DNA in cytoplasm
nucleoid
41
what are plasmids?
small circular structures of supercoiled DNA in cytoplasm
42
plasmids code for...
enzymes, toxins, antibiotic resistance
43
function of storage granules
energy storage
44
function of gas vesicles
buoyancy in a liquid medium
45
genera which produce endospores
* Bacillus* * Clostridium*
46
what is an endospore?
tough, nonreproductive structure created when vegetative cell is starved of essential nutrients
47
deficiency of these nutrients can cause sporulation
Carbon Nitrogen Water
48
process by which an endospore is formed
sporulation
49
first steps of sporulation
cell reduces its size and concentrates its DNA
50
second step of sporulation
a thick outer crust is formed
51
purpose of endospore
for a cell to remain viable in unfavorable conditions until conditions become favorable again
52
endospores can be destroyed by high...
heat and pressure
53
an active cell
vegetative
54
function of ribosomes
site of protein translation
55
bacteria have ___ ribosomes
70s
56
"70" in 70s refers to...
rate of sedimentation in a centrifuge
57
large subunit: \_\_s small subunit: \_\_s
50s 30s
58
explain endosymbiosis
larger prokaryotic ancestors of eukaryotes engulfed smallar prokaryotic ancestors of mitochondria and chloroplasts they developed a symbiotic relationship, with the smaller cell producing energy for the larger one over time the smaller cells became mitochondria & chloroplasts
59
endosymbiosis allowed larger prokaryote to _______ and become \_\_\_\_\_\_\_
diversify eukaryotic
60
3 evidences of endosymbiotic theory
mitochondria have 70s ribosomes, like bacteria; eukaryotes have 80s mitochondria contain 2 membranes, and inner membrane is the site of electron transport chain, like bacteria mitochondrial DNA is in circular formation, like bacteria
61
two mitochondrial membranes and origins
cristae - inner - originally cytoplasmic membrane of smaller prokaryote outer membrane - came from larger prokaryote that engulfed the smaller
62
mitochondrial DNA is passed down _______ because...
maternally the egg contributes mitochondria to the zygote, but the sperm does not
63
process of bacterial growth
binary fission
64
time it take for binary fission to occur
generation time
65
average generation time
20 minutes
