Chapter 3, cell interior Flashcards
I fucked up some of this is exterior (39 cards)
flagella
Embedded in cell wall/ membrane of BACTERIA, propeller movement, run (move) and tumble (turn, abrupt change)
gram - flagella
4 ring due to outter membrane
gram + bacteria flagella
2 rings due to no outter membrane
taxis
move toward or away from something
axial filaments/ endoflagella
spirochetes (gram -), spiral like, anchored at one end, rotation
pili/ fimbriae
mostly gram-, hairlike, shorter striaght and thinner than flagella, for attachment, DNA transfer, motility, antigen
cytoplasm
ANYTHING on the inside of the plasma, 80% water
nucleoid
location of genome/DNA, tightly packed DNA (less than viruses and euk), usually has one chromosome
coupled Transcription and translation (pro)
a messenger RNA can be translated as it is being transcribed
Prokaryotic cell chromosome (bacteria/archaea)
single (mostly) and circular
packing tightness based on
ionic strength (cations like mg+ present), DNA folding proteins, supercoiling
DNA gyrase
negative supercoil
topoisomerase I
negative supercoil
Transcription/translation occurs at
nucleoid/cytoplasm interface (edge), DNA will wiggle to become more available for transcription
cytosol
liquid portion of cytoplasm, where the organelles are suspended
macromolecules in cytosol portion
30% w/v
contains enzymes, regulatory proteins, building blocks
ribosomes found in
cytosol
ribosomes made of
protein and rRNA
prokaryotic ribosome size
70s (50s + 30s)
crowding in the cytosol
allows for quick protein folding, keeps DNA in nucleoid, allow for plasmid packaging, steric repulsion (allows small atoms to move though)
structures in polyribosomes
polyribosomes, plasmid
cytoskeleton (prokaryotic)
structural filaments, can provide shape
ftsZ
cytoskeleton protein, spherical loops, in S. aureus
MreB
Cytoskeleton protein, rod shaped loops, in e coli and b. subtillis
