Type IV Hypersensitivity Poision ivy, tuberculin test, Thi inflammatory response, cell-mediated, delayed can be several days.
Peptidoglycan cross-linked peptides- maintains cell shape
Pili straight projections composed of pilin - adherence to surfaces, exchange of DNA via conjugation
Flagella hook and motor, purpose is motility
Leukocytosis Increase in WBC
Endotoxin released when microbe damaged or lysed most common: Gram- Lipid A
Lipid A can cause: Hemorrhaging and Cardiovascular shock
Basophils and mast cells due what: stimulate inflammation

Algae are classified as: eukaryotes
Protozoans are classified as: eukaryotes
yeasts are classified as: eukaryotes
archaeobacteria are classified as: prokaryotes
Endotoxins are only produced by: Gram- bacteria
Archaeobacteria are classified as prokaryotes because: They lack a nucleus
The Gram stain does what: it stains separate parts of cell differently. used to distinguish between gram positive and gram negative
