A glycocalyx will be ? depending on the micro-organism we are talking about, keep in mind there can be ?
modified
variation
Glycocalyx develops as a coating of repeating ? units, ? or both
polysaccharide
protein
Glycocalyx is mainly ? , but it depends on the micro-organism, if it does have ? attached
polysaccharides,
proteins
Glycocalyx can help ? a cell and help it ? to the environment.
protect
adhere
Glycocalyx make up the ? on your teeth
film
Glycocalyx thickness will ? according to the micro-organism
vary
Glycocalyx called a ? is looser and easily peeled off with chemicals, it also helps prevent loss of water and nutrients.
slime layer
Glycocalyx that is tightly bound to the cell and is more dense and thicker is called a ?
capsule
A ? makes a cell good at avoiding the immune system, makes the bacteria slippery.
capsule
? bacteria have a capsule that helps in evading phagocytosis by immune system WBC's.
Smooth
Streptococcus Pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Bacillus anthracis all have a ? glycocalyx that helps them evade the immune system.
capsule
Films that coat live structures common in areas that come into contact with water are ?
Biofilms
Biofilms start by attaching to a ? and start to break it down by releasing byproducts of metabolism that are ? and can destroy it
substrate
acidic
The biggest and most important difference in bacteria is the difference in the cell cell envelope, whether it is ? or ?
gram+ or gram-
A ? cell has 2 layers which are the cell wall cytoplasmic membrane.
gram+
A ? cell has 3 layers which are the outer-membrane, cell wall, and cytoplasmic membrane
gram-
List the order in which the gram stains are applied
Primary stain,
Grams iodine,
alcohol/decolorizer
safranin
Crystal violet is known as the ?
Primary dye
? stains everything purple, it enters the peptidoglycan layer in gram+ and gram-
crystal violet
Gram's iodine is known as the ? It goes into the peptidoglycan layer and forms a complex called the ? with the Crystal violet
mordant
CV-I complex
The CV-I complex is to big to leave the peptidoglycan layer in the ? bacteria because it is so ?
gram+
thick
Gram- cell walls are unable to hold onto the CV-I complex because they are to ? So they become ? So ? is added in the final step to give them color.
thin
decolored
safranin
? is added at the end and goes in gram+ and gram- cells but cannot be seen in the gram+ cell because it doesn't show up when mixed with the dark blue crystal violet
safranin
The cell walls of most bacteria gain their relatively rigid-quality from a unique macromolecule called ?
peptidoglycan
peptidoglycan is composed of a repeating frame-work of long ? chains, cross linked by short ? fragments to provide a
strong but flexible support frame-work that helps prevent ?
glycan
peptide
lysis
Peptidoglycan only exists in ?
bacteria
The combination of ? and ? make it easily targeted with antibiotics
Essential
Unique
Fungal infections are harder to kill due to cell wall ?
variations
Bacteria are easier to kill because of their ? peptidoglycan layer.
unique
Peptidoglycan is composed of a ? component and a ? component
protein
sugar
NAG =
N-acetyl glucosamine
NAG
N-acetyl-glucosamine
NAM and NAG are two ? components of PG that do not vary
sugar
A Pentapeptide has ? amino acids
5
UDP=
Uridine diphosphate
The precursor subunit of PG, UDP-NAM is synthesized in the ?
Cytoplasm
UDP-NAM is the ? subunit of PG
precursor
The Bactoprenol phosphate inside the cell membrane acts as a ? molecule and carries the
NAM-NAG-pentapeptide precursor across the cell membrane.
carrier
UDP gives off one ? to the carrier molecule Bactoprenol phosphate and becomes UMP and goes back into the cytoplasm. The NAM-Pentapeptide is now connected to the ? molecule.
phosphate
Bactoprenol phosphate
UDP-NAG comes in from the cytoplasm and NAG is transferred to the Bactoprenol-NAM-pentapeptide to form the final ? pentapeptide precursor
diassacharide
The completed NAM-NAG-pentapeptide precursor is transported across the cell membrane to its ? surface by the Bactoprenol ? lipid
outer
carrier
The completed dissacharide- pentapeptide is then transferred to the growing end of the ? chain to lengthen it by ? unit.
peptidoglycan
one
Pentapeptides are only connected to ? in the Pentapeptide-Disaccharide chains.
NAM
Peptidoglycan is held together by interbridges of a cross-linkage of ? between NAM molecules only.
peptides
The pentapeptide-NAM-NAG molecules are connected by a process called ?
trans-peptidation
Trans-peptidation is the forming of ? bonds between the ? amino acid chains which form cross-bridges between NAM molecules
peptide
pentapeptide
If a cell is in a HYPOtonic solution water will automatically ? and the cell wall helps to prevent lysis. The cell becomes a hungry-hungry hippo!
Hypo=Hippo
enter
If a cell is in a HYPERtonic solution water will automatically ? the cell and the cell will start to ?
leave
shrivle
If there is any ? in any part of the peptidoglycan synthesis process and it will not work.
mutation
The typical cell wall keeps cells from rupturing because of changes in pressure due to ?
osmosis
The Cell wall is a target of many ? because they disrupt the cell wall, and then cells have little protection from?
antibiotics
lysis
Gram ? cell walls are easier to target with ? because there is no ? so the peptidoglycan cell wall is easier to get to.
