capsule and slime layer
25
thickened and hard glycocalyx
capsule
26

acts as a camouflage, hides the bacteria from the hosts immune system
27
watery loosely attached glyocalyx
slime layer
28
what does the slime layer do
traps nutrients, allows bacteria to attach to host cells and environmental surfaces, allows bacteria to stick together
29
long, filament like structure that extend beyond the cell surface to provide the bacteria cell the ability to move
flagella
30
three parts of flagella
filament, hook, basal body
31
hollow tube that extends into the environment and is made of flagellin protein
filament
32
which is the longest part of the flagella
the filament
33
curved shaft that connects the filament to the basal body
hook
34
passes through the cell wall anchoring the filament and the hook to the cell membrane
basal body
35
basal body is composed of what
rod and protein rings
36
one flagella on only one side
monotrichous
37
having a single flagellum on each of two opposite sides
amphitrichous
38
multiple flagella that are attached at one end/point
lophotrichous
39
having flagella all over or covering the entire surface
peritrichous
40
function of flagella
rotates clockwise or counterclockwise to propel bacterium through environment
41
movement in a single direction for some time due to counterclockwise rotation
run
42
abrupt, random change in a single direction due to a clockwise rotation of the flagella
tumble
43
sticky rod like projections, shorter than flagella
fimbriae
44
purpose of fimbriae
used to adhere to one another and to substances in environment
45
fimbriae can attach to or form a sticky substance called
biofilm
46
special type of fimbriae
pilli
47
what is pilli also called
conjugation pilli
48
purpose of pilli
allow bacteria to transfer DNA from one cell to another in a process called conjugation (can transfer resistance)
49
provides strength and maintains the cell's shape, protects the cell from water pressure
cells wall
50
most bacteria cell walls are composed of
peptidoglycan
51
what two types of sugars is peptidoglycan composed of
NAG and NAM
52
chains of peptidogylcan are held together by
tetrapeptide cross bridges
53
tetrapeptide cross bridges always and only attach to which molecules
NAM
54
gram positive cell walls
-contain thick layer of peptidoglycan
- contain techoic acid
-contain lipoteichoic acid
-stain appears purple
55
add stability to the cell wall by keeping the peptidoglycan chains tightly packed
teichoic acid
56
bind and anchor the peptidoglycan to the cell membrane
lipoteichoic acid
57
gram negative cell walls
- thin layer of peptidoglycan
- contain outer membrane on top of the peptidoglycan which contains phospholipids, proteins, and lipopolysaccharides
-gram stain appears pink
58
when gram negative cells die the cell wall breaks down releasing
lipid A
59
Lipid A can trigger
vasodilation, inflammation, shock and blood clotting
60
a lipid connected to a polysaccharide sugar
lipopolysaccharides
61
space between the outer membrane and cell membrane which contains water, nutrients, and digestive enzymes
periplasmic space
62
the plasma membrane in bacteria is a
phospholipid bilayer
63
what does the cell membrane have
integral proteins, peripheral proteins, and glycoproteins
64
most integral proteins are
transmembrane (transport proteins)
65
allow water soluble molecules or ions through the membrane
channel
66
bind a chemical and allow its passage through the membrane
carrier protein
67
these proteins attach to protein filaments that are apart of the cytoskeleton and support the plasma membrane, and are on the surface of one side of the membrane, and are involved in chemical reactions functioning as enzymes
peripheral proteins
68
Function of cell membrane
1. convert light energy into ATP
2. selectively permeable
3. brings in nutrients and remove waste
4. contain proteins that use energy to move chemical into or out of the cells against a concentration gradient
69
what does the inside of the bacteria cell contain
cytoplasm, cytosol, nucleoid, inclusions, ribosomes, cytoskeleton
70
gelatinous material inside the cell
cytoplasm
71
liquid portion of the cytoplasm that is mostly water
cytosol
72
region in the cytoplasm that contains DNA organized into one circular chromosome
nucleoid
73
reserve deposits of biochemicals such as lipids, starches, minerals
inclusions
74
made up of both RNA and protein, site of protein synthesis
ribosomes
75
a network of protein filaments that play a role in forming cells basic shape
cytoskeleton
76
active, happy, living form of bacteria
vegetative cells
77
dormant, hardy form of bacteria
endospore
78
endospore protects bacteria against
unfavorable and harsh environmental conditions
79
How does a vegetative cell turn into endospore
1. DNA is copied
2. cytoplasmic membrane surrounds copied DNA (two membranes)
3. cortex forms
4. spore forms around the cortex
80
how do ribosomes in eukaryotes and prokaryotes differ
ribosomes are attached to the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotes, and in prokaryotes ribosomes freely float
FUNCTION IS THE SAME
81
function to produce ATP through aerobic respiration
mitochondria
82
convert light energy into ATP through photosynthesis
chloroplast
83
why do mitochondria and chloroplasts look like bacteria or prokaryotic cells
1. both are the only organelles to have a circular molecule of DNA
2. both have 70s ribosomes
84
features of archea that differ from bacteria
1. flagella filaments are not hollow whereas bacteria filaments are
2. have a special fimbriae called hamus that has three prickles resembling a grappling hook and provides enhanced attachment
3. cell walls do not contain peptidoglycan but other variety of polysaccharides and proteins
