| What is the difference between organic and inorganic? | ALL organic molecules have Carbon & Hydrogen (carbs, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids) |
| DNA base pairs | A-T G-C |
| RNA base pairs | A-U G-C |
| Enzymes _________ chemical reactions | increase |
| Composed of amino acids; composes enzymes | proteins |
| Composition includes a nitrogen, phosphorus, and a 5-C base; Composes genes | nucleic acids |
| DNA and RNA two types of a | nucleic acid |
| Made of saccharides; Preferred energy source; starch, cellulose, glycogen | carbohydrates |
| Energy storage molecules | lipids |
| Carbohydrates in cell membranes can act as markers; chemically recognizable for | immunological purposes |
| composed of a phospholipid bilayer, directly surrounds cytoplasm | cytoplasmic membrane |
| composed of peptidoglycan, provides rigidity | cell wall |
| part of a cell envelope some species have, can be a capsule or slime layer | glycocalyx |
| "resembles a nucleus," where the chromosome is located within a cell | nucleoid |
| in a cell, extra DNA material not in the nucleoid; related to antibacterial resistance | plasmid |
| site of protein synthesis within a cell | ribosome |
| extension of cytoplasmic membrane; helps with adherence or transfer of genetic material | pili |
| site that stores nutrients within a cell | granules |
| Superficial to Deep: Glycocalyx, cell wall, cytoplasmic | membrane |
| Gram positive has no outer membrane, teichoic acid to help with adherence, and a | thick cell wall |
| Gram negative has an outer membrane, lipoprotein, and a | thin cell wall |
| Baccilus | rod-shaped bacteria |
| Coccus | globe-shaped bacteria |
| Streptococci | chain-link shaped bacteria |
| Staphylococci | bunch of grapes-shaped bacteria |
| can cause disease in the human body and food spoilage | mesophiles |
| found in Antartica and refrigerators, causes food spoilage | psychrophiles |
| found in hot springs, compost and water heaters | thermophiles |

| bacteria with flagella around the perimeter are known as | peritrichous |
| bacteria with lots of flagella out of one end of the organism is known as | polar lophotrichous |
| 3 ways target microbial cells w/out harm to human cell: cell wall (peptidoglycan), LPS (outer membrane Gram -), & | ribosomes (protein synthesis) |
| in real life as cells grow nutrients are used up, wastes compound (leads to stationary phase) | nonsynchronous growth |
| if bacteria divided together, population would double | synchronous growth |
