🗑
Axial filaments propel spirochetes __.   in a spiral motion like a cork screw.  
🗑
fimbriae   Appendage on bacterial cell used to adhere to surfaces - helps colonization.  
🗑

🗑
conjugation   Process by which bacteria use pili to transfer DNA from one cell to another.  
🗑
What is the function of fimbriae?   to adhere to surfaces  
🗑
Almost all prokaryotes have __.   cell walls  
🗑
Major function of cell wall.   Prevent rupture when water pressure in cell is greater than outside.  
🗑
What is used to differentiate major types of bacteria?   The chemical composition of the cell wall.  
🗑
Gram-positive cell walls contain?   Many layers of peptidoglycan.  
🗑
Gram-negative cell walls do not contain __.   teichoic acids  
🗑
Which is more susceptible to mechanical breakage? Gram - or +?   Gram negative because they only contain a small amount of peptidoglycan.  
🗑
The outer membrane of gram-negative provides barrier against?   Certain antibiotics & digestive enzymes.  
🗑
Smallest known bacteria outside living host.   Mycoplasmas - pass through most filters.  
🗑
Archaea may lack cell walls but definately lack __.   Peptidoglycan - have pseudomurein instead.  
🗑
Acid-fast bacteria cell walls contain what lipid?   Mycolic acid - resists dyes because it is waxy.  
🗑
Why are prokaryote plasma membranes less rigid than eukaryotes?   Because they lack sterols.  
🗑
Chromatophores   Infolding of plasma membrane where pigment located in photoautotrophic bacteria.  
🗑
