Quiz 4
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| coccus, cocci | spheres |
| bacillus, bacilli | rods |
| vibrios | comma shaped |
| spirillum, spirilla | Spirals |
| spirochetes | flexible spirals |
| What cell shapes can make arrangments | cocci, and baccili |
| Cell arrangement is determined by: | by the manner dividing cells hold together and wherther the cells separate after divison |
| Diplo- | paired cells |
| Strepto- | chains of cells |
| tetrad | groups of four cells |
| Sarcina | groups of 8 cells |
| Staphylo | irregular clusters; grapelike |
| To visualize a transparent membrane bound fluid filled bag using a light microscope you need | stain |
| solvent and a dye | Stain |
| consists of a charged portion (auxochrome) and the colored portioin (chromophore) | Chromogen |
| The color portion of the dye is | chromophore |
| the charged portion of a stain is | auxochrome |
| basic stains have a net charge that is | positive |
| On a stain molecule structure the chromophore group is easily identified by the what | cyclic structre |
| Many auxochromes are ___ (___) and therefore positively charged (loses OH- or picks up H+) | basic (alkaline) |
| Many auxochromes are basic (alkaline) and therefore ___ charged (loses OH- or picks up H+) | positively |
| many auxochromes are basic (alkaline) and therefore positely charged; (__ ___ ___ ___ ) | (Losing OH- or picks up H+) |
| many bacterial are ___ charged | negatively |
| The basic protocol for a simple stain is | smear, heat fix, add stain, wash, blot |
| Some examples of Simples stains include | methylene blue, Crystal violet and Safranin |
| this type of staining is used to determine the morphology of the bacteria that are to delicate to be heat fixed | Negative stain |
| Adding an ___ dye (auxochrome) is repelled by most cells leaving an outline of the cell | acidic dye |
| the white outline surrounding the negative bacteria should not be confused with what? | capsule |
