25
What are the purpose of the cell wall of bacteria
- maintain shapes of the cells - prevent bursting of the cells
26
What are the two major types of cell walls?
Gram positive and negative type
27
What do you call the modified cell wall of mycobacteria?
Acid-fast cell wall
28
Give Microorganism that have no cell wall.
Mycoplasma Ureaplasma
29
Which is/are true about gram positve bacteria? A. Bacteria with thick walls (peptidoglycan) B. Contains lipolysaccharides C. Stain in purple or deep blue D. They consist of teichoic acid
A, C , D
30
Other term of peptidoglycan.
Murein
31
Which is/are true about gram negative? A. They don't have cell wall B. They have a thin cell wall of peptidoglycan. C. Stain in purple D. They contain lipopolysaccharides
B and D
32
Which statement is/are true? A. Teichoic acid retains crystal pink on gram negative. B. Antibiotics are more effective in gram-positive than gram-negative. C. Mycoplasma can be stained in gram staining D. Mycoplasma is consist of protective cell wall
B. It is because of their thick cell wall. Antibiotics prevent the synthesis of peptidoglycan. Unlike to gram negative which has thin and different cell wall.
33
Differentiate the gram negative from gram positive
-Gram negative has an outer membrane layers - Gram negative has periplasmic space (space between cell membrane and peptidoglycan) - they have thinner wall compare to positive - they have lipopolysaccharides
34
Peptidoglycan consist of what?
- glycan - alternating N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (NAG) and - N-acetyl-d-muramic acid (NAM)
35
Two components unique to gram positive.
Teichoic acid Lipoteichoic acid
36
T or F Gram negative compose of two layers.
T - inner and outer membrane
37
The outer layer of gram negatice consists of what?
Proteins, phospholipids, lipopolysaccharides (LPS)
38
The LPS of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria consists of three region. What are they?
-antigenic-O polysaccharide - core polysaccharide - inner lipid A (endotoxin) (dangerous)
39
What region of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria produces fever and shock when infected? A. Inner lipid A B. Core polysaccharide C. Antigenic- O polysaccharide D. ALL OF THESE
A
40
T or F All gram positve bacteria has endotoxin.
F- it's all negative bacteria BITCH!!
41
Which is/are true about acid fast? A. Most bacteria are gram-positive B. They are not stain in gram stain because of mycolic acid. C. They are pleomorphic (can change sizes) D. They don't have cell wall
All answers are correct
42
Genera of bacteria with no cell wall.
Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma
43
Which is/ are true about mycolic acid? A. Waxy layer of glycolipids and FA B. Bound in the interior of cell wall C. More than 60% of the cell wall is lipid, and major lipids are mycolic lipids D. They are strongly hydrophilic
A and C -they are bound in the exterior of cell wall - they are strong hydrophobic mol. That affects the permeability.
44
T or F Mycobacterium and Nocardia spp. Stain faint blue in gram staining.
True - they are gram postive bacteria. However, they are recommended to be done in acid-fast stain.
45
What are the reagents in Acid-fast stain?
- Carbolfuchsin - acid alcohol (decolorizer)
46
T or F Mycoplasma and Ureeplasma genera don't have cell wall and contain sterols in their cell mebrane.
True.
47
T or F The absence of cell walls in certain bacteria results in various shape
True
48
Various pathogenic bacteria produce a discrete organized covering called

49
Which is/are true about the capsule of bacteria? A. Made up of polysaccharide B. Made up of peptides C. Made up of lipids D. All of these
A, B
50
Which statement is/are true? A. Capsules act as virulence factors, helping the pathogen evade phagocytosis. B. Capsule serves as protection in virulence C. In serological tests, capsules must be remove to detect somatic antigen. D. Capsule removal done by boiling
All of the above.
51
T or F Capsule can't be stained in gram stain but stain in India ink. It appears clear area (halo-like) surrounds the microorganism.
F it can't stain by both then T to the other statement
52
T or F The colony of capsules is mucoid/slimy.
True
53

54
They are similar to capsule but are more diffuse layers surrounding the cell.
Slime layer

57
Most common mechanism for evading phagocytosis is ___
Having a polysaccharide capsule on the surface.
58
T or F Encapsulated bacteria are more virulence compare to those who dont have.
True
59
An exterior cell appendage of bacteria that rotate and cause bacteria to move
Flagella
60
Types of flagella

Polar/monotrichous
62
A flagilla that has Mutiple tufts at one end term of bacteria
Lopotrichous
63
Fastest type of flagella
Peritrichous
64
Nonmotile, long hollow protein tubes that connect two bacterial cells and mediate exchange of DNA.
Pili/conjugation pili
65
Which is/are true about pilus? A. One donor connects to pilus to transfer DNA B. attach a bacterial cell to specific surfaces or to other cells. C. Both D. Neither
C
66
No motility, shorter than flagella, sex attachment only, they are sticky and hard to detached
