44 Terms

1

prokaryote structure

  • no nuclear membrane

  • no membrane bound organelles

  • almost all prokaryotes have a cell wall

New cards
2

three major cell shapes

  • rods (bacillus)

  • spheres (coccus)

  • spiral (spirilla)

New cards
3

diplococci

pairs (cocci)

New cards
4

streptococci

chains (cocci)

New cards
5

staphylococci

grape clusters (cocci)

New cards
6

vibrio

curved rod (bacilli)

New cards
7

cell wall

  • lies outside plasma membrane

  • protects & prevents cell lysis (rupture)

  • bacteria: w/ peptidoglycan (protein with a sugar on it)

  • archaea: w/ other structural polysaccharides

New cards
8

gram + stain

purple

New cards
9

gram + structure

cell membrane → periplasmic space → thick cell wall (peptidoglycan)

New cards
10

cell wall gram +

contains techoic acid

New cards
11

gram - stain

pink or red

New cards
12

gram - structure

cell membrane → periplasmic space → thin cell wall (peptidoglycan) → periplasmic space → outer membrane (lipopolysaccharide)

New cards
13

cell wall gram -

does not contain techoic acid

New cards
14

capsule or slime layer

resists attack from immune system

New cards
15

fimbriae

hairlike protein that help cells stick to surface & each other

New cards
16

motility

many capable of movement

New cards
17

chemotaxis

move towards chemicals

New cards
18

phototaxis

move towards light

New cards
19

geotaxis (magnetotaxis)

moves towards magnetism

New cards
20

quoran sensing

bacteria can talk to each other

New cards
21

movement produced by

rotating flagellum protein fibers

New cards
22

invagination

in-folded plasma membranes

  • used for aerobic cellular respiration or for O2-producing photosynthesis

  • compared to OUR mitochondria

New cards
23

under stress, some produce ____

dormant cells

  • need heat and pressure to kill these

  • endospores survive heat, drought for years

New cards
24

prokaryote DNA

one chromosome: circular DNA molecule w/ binding proteins (no histones for most)

New cards
25

histones

keeps DNA organizes, responsible for keeping the genes wrapped around the histone OFF

New cards
26

binary fission

  • yields 2 identical cells

  • short generation time if ideal & temp.

  • logarithmic/exponential growth in #s

New cards
27

mechanisms for sexual reproduction in bacteria

  1. conjugation

  2. transformation

  3. transduction

New cards
28

conjugation

a plasmis is moved by a pilus

New cards
29

transformation

the uptake by some of the bacteria of naked DNA

New cards
30

risk of transformation

could be viral

New cards
31

transduction

when a virus takes DNA from one bacteria to another

New cards
32

plasmids

extra tiny DNA rings w/ few genes

New cards
33

what do a lot of genes in plasmids code for?

antibiotic resistance

New cards
34

Griffith’s experiment

mixing heat-killed S cells and living R cells still killed. the mouse → rough cells uptook naked DNA that made a capsule

New cards
35

what carries DNA for transduction

bacteriophage virus

New cards
36

what does conjugation require

presence of F factor

New cards
37

what do F factor genes build

sex pilus (mating bridge)

New cards
38

where is F factor on chromosome

F-plasmid

New cards
39

F+

has plasmid w/ presence of F factor

New cards
40

R plasmids

genes for antibiotic resistance → can be transferred rapidly in this way

New cards
41

photoautotroph

energy source: light

carbon source: fixation from the air

New cards
42

chemoautotroph

energy source: inorganic compounds

carbon source: fixation from the air

New cards
43

photoheterotroph

energy source: light

carbon source: eating to get organic carbon

New cards
44

chemoheterotroph

energy source: organic compounds

carbon source: eating to get organic carbon
