strepto chain; 1/2 have flagella
staph irregular clusters
sarcinae cube or packet of 8
gaffkya group of 4
palisades logs of a raft
Vibrio looks like a comma
spirilla cork screw; has flagella
spirochetes flexible coils; no flagella
Flagella whip like tail; composed of protein Flagellin
Atrichous no flagella
monotrichous one flagella
amphitrichous flagella tuft at both ends
lophotrichous tuft at one end
peritrichous flagella all around
Pili/Fimbrae smaller, straighter, and more numerous than flagella; made of "pilin"; used for attachment or to transfer DNA during conjugation
Glycocalyx slime layer found on Bacillus and Cocci
Cell Wall provide strong rigid structure to with stand osmotic changes
Peptiddoglycan an important chemical constituent of cell walls that give them their rigidity
Gram Positive (+) have few polysaccharides; no protein in cell wall; no fatty acids
Gram Negative (-) polysaccharides; usually has protein; has fatty acids
Lipid bilayer transloctses and permeates proteins in cell membrane that move along objects and insolubles
Cytoplasm liquid part of a cell (80% water)
Nucleoid single closed loop of DNA; one chromosome
Ribosomes site of protein synthesis; composed of protein and RNA
Mesosome invagination of cell membrane of Gram+ bacteria
Metachromatic Granules phosphate deposit reserves
Magnetosomes help bacteria orient themselves
Endospores form when harsh environmental conditions are present
chromatophores packets made from cell membrane
plasmids small loops of DNA that are separate from the bacterial main chromosome; often carry genes for drug resistance
Binary Fission the original cell is never destroyed or changed
Generation Time Time between cell divisions
E. coli generate every ____ minutes. 20
Nutritional Requirements of Bacteria Source of Energy, Need a Carbon Source, Requires some Inorganic Ions, certain essential metabolites, water
Physical Conditions for Bacteria Growth Temperature, pH, Gas, Light, Water, Osmotic Pressure
Mesophilic 20-40 degrees celsius
Cryophilic 0-20 degrees celsius
Thermophilic 40-90 degrees celsius
Optimum pH for Bacteria? 6.5-7.5
Obligate Aerobes grow in the presence of O2
Obligate anaerobes grow in the absence of O2
Facultative anaerobes can grow with or without O2; does better with O2
Microaerophilic will only do well with minute amounts of O2
Phototrophic requires light
Chemotrophic often destroyed by sunlight (UV Rays)
Water: Not only nutritional but also a physical requirement
Phases of Growth Lag, Log, Stationary, Death (decline)
Lag Stage no apparent increase in cell number. 1st stage
Log Stage bacteria are multiplying at a constant rate. 2nd stage
Stationary Stage Death Rate=Reproductive Rate. 3rd stage
Death Stage Death Rate is greater than Reproductive Rate. 4th stage.
Enzymes organic catalyst
Characteristics of Enzymes Lowers the Energy of Activation, Most are proteins, Are reusable, can operate independently of the cell, specific shape/configuration, small amounts are needed, very specific
Enzyme analogy? Coupons
Lipids:____::Proteins:_____ Lipase, Proteases
Sucrose:___::Lactose:____ Sucrase, Lactase
Oxidoreductase moves an electron or hydrogen ion to or from an electron acceptor
Redox reaction oxidation reduction reaction
Transferases TRANSFERS a chemical group from one substrate to another
Hydrolases Hydrolyze use H2O to split large molecules into smaller one
Lyases Remove or Add chemical groups in the process a Double bond is either made or broken
Isomerase Move a H+ from one part of a substrate to another
Ligase links two molecules together
Dehydrogenase Removal of H2O from substrate
Denature change shape (of protein)
Substrate Concentration The more substrate present the faster the product will be turned out, up to a certain point
Enzyme Concentration The more enzymes you add the faster the reaction will occur, up to a point.
Competitive Inhibition A molecule with a similar shape as the substrate competes for the active site of the enzyme
Non-competitive Inhibition Allosteric Control
Allosteric other shape
Allosteric Control closing/opening the active site
Positive Allosteric Control enzyme is turned on or activated when allosteric site is filled
Negative Allosteric Control enzyme is turned off or deactivated when allosteric site is filled
Negative Feedback/Feedback Inhibition The excess end product feeds back to an earlier allosteric enzyme and turns it off, until the excess has been used up
Positive Feedback Excess end product feeds back and allosterically turns on more enzymes which speed up processes.
Bacterial Photosynthesis CO2+H2X--->C6H12O6+X (X is anything but oxygen)
ATP; Adenosine Tri-Phosphate the breaking of the phosphate bonds release energy to drive various cell activities
Glycolysis Splitting Glucose
Net gain of ATP in anaerobic respiration? 2
Net gain of ATP in aerobic respiration? 38
Why do we have anaerobic pathway? To regenerate NAD from NADH so we can carry out Glycolysis because Glycolysis requires NAD to produce energy. And without energy, the cell dies.
NAD Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
FAD Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide
Oxidative Phosphorylation The process of harnessing the energy in NADH and FADH2 by converting it into ATP
Adenine:_____ Thymine
Guanine:______ Cytosine
Backbone of DNA? Deoxyribose and phosphate bonds
2 sides of DNA antiparallel
Semiconservative replication "unzipping" (replication) of DNA
Bacteria have how many chromosomes? One
Humans have about _____ genes on their 46 chromosomes 50,000
E. coli has _____ genes on its one chromosome 4,000
Viruses have ____ genes 7
Gene Loci This is the location of a particular gene on a chromosome

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
