🗑
The Golgi complex consists of flattened sacs called _________ that are connected to the endoplasmic reticulum.   CISTERNS  
🗑
The _____________ complex consists of four to eight flattened sacs connected to the endoplasmic reticulum. The function is largely secretion of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.   GOLGI  
🗑
The term ______________ means a lower concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside.   HYPOTONIC  
🗑
Three examples of passive diffusion across membranes are _____________, _____________, and _______________.   SIMPLE DIFFUSION, OSMOSIS, FACILITATED DIFFUSION  
🗑
The protein in the flagellar filaments of bacteria is called ______________.   FLAGELLIN  
🗑
DNA in eukaryotic cells is combined with protein _____________ and nonhistones.   HISTONES  
🗑
What is glycocalyx?   Glycocalyx is a sticky, viscous, gelatinous polymer that surrounds some bacterial cells. It may be composed of polysaccharide, polypeptide, or a combination of these two substances. It may be referred to as a slime layer or a capsule.  
🗑
How is the presence of a glycocalyx related to bacterial virulence?   The glycocalyx is associated with bacterial virulence because it helps protect the bacterium from phagocytosis by white blood cells and helps the bacterium to adhere to and colonize a host.  
🗑
What substances are able to cross the plasma membrane most easily?   Substances that dissolve most easily. These include oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nonpolar organic molecules. Also, small molecules such as water.  
🗑
Describe how a bacterial cell will respond to the following osmotic pressures: isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic   No change in isotonic, water leaves & enters at the same rate. Hypotonic will undergo osmotic lysis b/c more water will enter the cell than the cell can contain. Hypertonic, will undergo plasmolysis, loss of water due to increased solutes outside the cell  
🗑
How is the presence of peptidoglycan in bacterial cells clinically significant?   ABX such as PCN and the cephalosporins act specifically against peptidoglycan & therfore have low toxicity in humans. These drugs prevent the formation of the peptide cross-bridges of peptidoglycan preventing synthesis of a functional cell wall  
🗑
Discuss the endosymbiont hypothesis. Is there any evidence to support the endosymbiont hypothesis?   Evidence is seen in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Both organelles have 70S ribosomes the type seen in prokaryotic cells, Also, mitochondria and chloroplasts multiply and grow within eukaryotic cells
