| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| all living things can be divided into | prokaroyes and eukarotes |
| prok. are further divided into what two domains | archaea and bateria |
| what are four common shapes of prokarotes? | cocci, spirochete, baccili, vibro |
| Chromosomal DNA is concentrated in an area called | neuleoid region |
| Plasmid DNA | small circular piences of DNA |
| inclusions | deposits or aggregates of chemicals that can be drawn upon during times of scarce nutrients |
| endospores | tough non reproductive pod that some bacteria can form during times of enviromental stress |
| also called plama membrane. | cytoplasmic membrane |
| cytoplasmic membrane | pospholipid smipermeable bilayer |
| what is a capsule | sticky surface which allows for adhesion to surfaces and other bacteria. |
| cell wall | give structure and shape to bacteria |
| what is pili | hollow tubes that allow for movement across a substrate, or towards another bacteria |
| flagella | rotate and propel bacteria though its enviroment |
| fimbriae | small bristle like structures that allow bacteria to adhere to surfaces or one another. |
| what are large masses of bacteria adhearing to one another caleed? | biofilm |
| bacteria can be divided into | gram- positive, gram-negitivte, and mycoplasma |
| gram positive have what type of cell wall | thick layer of peptidoglycan |
| gram- negatives call wall | thin layer |
| mycoplasma cell walls? | do not have cell walls |
| what is a vector | vehicle used to transfer DNA such as a plasmid or virus |
| what is rDNA | recombined DNA |
| example of rDNA | baterial plasmid carrying a gene that is expressed as glow in the dark protein from jellyfish |
| gene therapy | therapeutically intro. a gene into an ind. cells to relieve symptoms of a disease such as SCID |
| how does penicillin work | acts as an enzyme inhibitor |
| what is important about lipopolysaccharide | component of outer membrane of gram negitive bacteria that is toxic and causes illness |
