🗑
small organic compounds that make up all or part or enzyme cofactors   vitamins  
🗑
molecules move freely from and area of high concentration to low due to random thermal energy   passive diffusion  
🗑
the use of special transport proteins (permeases) to move larger molecules from high to low ; no energy required   facilitated transport  
🗑
type of transport protein; CHANNEL   form pores through the membrane for molecules to pass  
🗑
type of transport proteins; CARRIERS   active transport in which molecules transported across membrane  
🗑
all permeases are bound with molecules   saturated process (facilitated diffusion)  
🗑
energy dependent in which molecules are moved against conc. gradient; requires membrane bound carrier protein; input of ATP   active transport

driven by ATP hydrolysis; uniporter process(moves a single molecule); ABC transporters common; solute binding protein that binds the molecule then interacts with transporter protein   primary active transport  
🗑
ion gradient driven; 3 types: uniport (single molecule), symport(same direction), and antiport (opposite direction)   secondary active transport  
🗑
energy dependent system; molecules are chemically altered; prokaryotes and not eukaryotes   group translocations  
🗑
iron binding molecule that help microbes (pro and eukaryotic) uptake iron.   siderophores  
🗑
once iron is reduced to ferrous the siderophore is recycled   true  
🗑
two types of siderophores   hydroxamates and phenolates-catecholates  
🗑
rigid structure that lies outside the cell membrane   bacterial cell wall  
🗑
functions of the bacterial cell wall   maintain shape; protect cell from osmotic lysis; protect from toxic materials; pathogenicity; site for action of antibiotics  
🗑
stained purple and has a thick layer of peptidoglycan   Gram positive  
🗑
stain pink or red and has a thin layer or peptidoglycan   Gram negative  
🗑
what determines if the cell is Gram positive or negative   the cell wall  
🗑
mesh like polymer of identical subunits forming long strands; helical; cross linked by peptides for strength   peptidoglycan  
🗑
found in Gram positive; maintain cell envelope; bind to host cells; protects from environment   teichoic acid  
🗑

🗑
part of the cell wall outter membrane; three parts: lipid A, O side chain, and core polysaccharide   lipopolysaccharide LPS  
🗑
LPS functions   neg. charge on cell surface, stablabize outter membrane, permeable barrier, protection from host defenses, act as endo toxcin  
🗑
Gram Stain mechanism on Gram positive cells   decolorization causes shrinkage of pores prevent the loss of crystal violet  
🗑
Gram stain mechanism on Gram negative cells   decolorization causes partly dissolved membrane and and does not prevent the loss of crystal violet  
🗑
solute concentration outside cell is less than inside cell; water moves into cell, swells, and cell wall protects from lysis   hypotonic environments  
🗑
solute concentration outside cell is greater than inside; water leaves cell, plasmolysis occurs   hypertonic environments

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
