| 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) |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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. |

| 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. |
