Microbiology

Test 1

QuestionAnswer
Amino NH2
Hydroxyl OH
Carboxyl COOH
Sulfide SH
Carbonyl CO
Phosphate H2PO4
Glycosidic Bond Two hydroxyls (Carbs)
Ester Bond Hydroxyl + Carboxyl (Lipids)
Phosphoester Hydroxyl + Phosphate (phospholipids)
Thioester Sulfhydryl + Carboxyl
Peptide Amino + Carboxyl
Anhydridc Two phosphates
Gram Positive contains -lipoteichoic acid -mycolic acids -polysaccharides
Gram Negative contains -lipoprotein -porin proteins -lipopolysaccharides
Both Gram negative and positive contain -peptidoglycan
Gram positive permeability & stain -more permeable -stains purple
Gram negative permeability & stain -less permeable -stains red
coccus/ diplococci / tetrads round/ 2 round / 4 round
streptococci chains of coccus
staphlococci clusters of coccus
sarcina cubes of coccus
bacillus/ diplo bacilli rod shaped/ 2 rod
coccobacillus short & plump rod
steptobacilli chain bacillus
vibrio gently curved
spirilum spiral shaped
spirochete spiral, flexible, flagella
Eukaryotic cells distinct characteristics -true nucleus & nuclear envelope -mitosis -golgi apparatus -ER -mitochondria -cilia (some) -larger than proks
Both Euk & Prok -nucleic acids -chromosomes (some prok) -ribosomes (some prok) -enzymes -flagella (some) -cell membrane -cell wall (some) -capsule (some)
Mitosis: Interphase 1. chromosomes as chromatin
Mitosis: Prophase 2. chromosomes with a thread like appearance
Mitosis: Metaphase 3. cross shaped chromosomes, duplicates attached at center point *nuclear membrane disrupted
Mitosis: Anaphase 4. Spindle fibers attach & facilitate separation of individual chromosomes
Mitosis: Telophase 5. completes chromosomal separation
Endosymbiosis Theory -Lynn Marguilis, 1967 1. prok engulfed, survives surrounded by membrane 2. bacteria multiplies, passed on in cell division, is an energy source 3. euk develops additional membrane pouches [ER & golgi]
Evidence for endosymbiosis theory -mitochondria have bacterial membranes & are sensitive to bacterial antibiotics -DNA is circular -function of enzymes in inner membrane similar -tRNAs in mitosis similar in both
Characteristics of life -growth -metabolism -reproduction -response to stimuli -cell support/ protection -transport of nutrients & wastes
sporulation formation of endospores hardiest of all life forms not means of reproduction
germination return to vegetative growth
Rough ER proteins synthesized & packaged
Smooth ER nutrient processing, storage of lipids
Golgi packages proteins stack of flattened sheets: cisternae
Lysosomes enzymes, digestion of food, protection
Mitochondria energy production, folds (cristae): hold enzymes and electron carriers divide independently
Ribosomes rRNA & proteins protein synthesis

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
