Chapter 3 Flashcards
(34 cards)
Antibiotic
Chemical that can stop or slow the growth of bacteria. (kills bacteria without harming the human or animal host)
Cell theory
All living things are made of cells. Every new cell comes from the division of a pre existing cell
Prokaryotic cells
Single celled organisms
Lack internal membrane- bound organelles
Eukaryotic cells
multi- cellular organism
membrane-bound organelles, including a nucleus
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells have…
- A cell membrane
- Cytoplasm
- Ribosomes
- DNA
Only Eukaryotic cells have…
- A nucleus
- Many organelles
Nucleus
An organelle that contains the DNA
Only Prokaryotic cells have…
- Their DNA floating freely in the cytoplasm
- No organelles
- Cell wall
Cell wall
rigid structure enclosing the cell membrane
Osmosis
The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower-solute concentration to a higher-solute concentration
Bacteria cells are either…
- Gram positive
- Gram negative
Gram positive
Cell wall with a layer of Peptidoglycan that retains the gram stain
Gram negative
Cell wall layer of Peptidoglycan surrounded by a lipid membrane that does not contain the gram stain
Antibiotics target…
Prokaryotic cells
All cells are surrounded by…
A cell membrane
A cell membrane is …
A phospholid bilayer with embedded proteins that forms the boundary of all cells
The cell membrane is
Semipermeable
-Structure is partly hydrophobic and hydrophilic
Large or hydrophilic molecules cross the membrane by assistance of…
Transport proteins
Facilitated Diffusion
Large or hydrophilic solutes move across a membrane from higher concentration to lower concentration with the help of transport proteins
Active transport
Solutes are pumped from lower concentration to higher transportation with the help of transfer proteins
-requires energy
Antibiotics target prokaryotic cells
-By using transport proteins
Bacteria can resist antibiotics by using
-Transport proteins (pump out antibiotic)
Eukaryotic cells are able to resist effects of…
Antibiotics
