What is the main differnce between eukaryotic cell and prokaryotic cell?
prokaryotic cell is compartmentalized
what do i need to know about transcription and translation in prokaryotes
they are both coupled, they occur at the same time
we are discussing prokaryotes so whatever does not say other wise it is refering to ...
prokaryotes

how many types of rRNA?
the importance of ribosomal structure?
70S (30+50)
3 types: 5,16,23S

3. target for antibacterial drugs
why called nucleoid instead of nucleus?
because doen't have nuclear membrane

2. double stranded
3. 2-4 depending on growth rate
4. yes
5. NO
plasmid?

2. classification of bacteris is based on cell wall, gram poisitive.
also targets for antibiotics
3. mycoplasma spp

1. murein
layer
2. outerm membrane
3. priplasm
4. susceptitibility
to peniciln and
lysosyme

1. no yes
2. yes no
3. yes no
4. low high
Gram + cell wall:
has ..... (thin/thick)..... layer that contains..... and ..... acids
thick peptidoglycan layer that contains teichoic and lipoteichoic acid
peptidoglycan layer:
funtion:
1. protection from environment
2. resistant to many mamalian enzymes; but exception is that it can be broken down by lysozyme
murien synthesis enzyme, which is the target of B-lactamlanitbiotic
what heppens if murein layer is lost?
exception:
cell lysis
formation of protoplast in isototic medium
Teichoic acid and Lipteichoic acid:
fucntions
they are important in virulance and act as antigens
Gram Negative cell wall:
has..... outer layer
lipopoylsaccharide
lipoplysacchride is unique to gram ..... cell wall.
1.what is the other name for it?
2. what is its fumction?
gram negative
endotoxin
2. it is a very strong stimulator of immune response; and it is toxic to humans and animals
which of the follwoing stucturesis found in gram - abut not in gram +?
outermembrane
what is the outermembrane made up of
lipoplysaccharide LPS
what does gram positive look like after adding dye
When viewed under a microscope, gram-positive cells appear purple due to the crystal violet-iodine complex retained inside.
whad does gram negative look like after dye
When viewed under a microscope, gram-negative cells appear pink or red due to the safranin staining.
oh: before marriage answer to the questioned that whether or not being ivolved with red or pink is negative
bacteria cell morphology:
1. cocus....
2. bacillus
3. vibrio
4. spirilum
5. spirochete
6. fusiform bacillus
7. coccobaciluus
1. shpere shape
2. capsule like shape
3. curved bcillus shape
4. M SHAPE
5. condese sirilum
6. elongated bacilus
7. shape between coccus and bacillus
Pili:
1. other name for it
2. essential for cell to stay alive
3. composed of protein called..
4. the two classes:
hair like projection of the cell
1. fimbriae
2. no
3. pilin
4. common pili; and sex pilus
common pili:
1. how many per cell
2. function
3. function
1. many around the cell
2. adhesion to the host cell
3. important virulence factors- role in colonization
sex pilus:
1. how many
2. function
1. one per cell
2. sexual conjuction; genetic transfer bw bacteria
flagella
1. important in viability of cell
2. present in gram - or +
3. function
4. distribution types
1. no
2. both
3. motility
4. monotrichous or polar(single flagellum)

lopotichous. i say LOPO coms out one sie but man

amphitrichous: i see two side coming and I say AAAA MMMMM so amphitrichous

periterichous: oh: peri doram bepari
capsule
also called...

protection against phagocytic engulfment
Biofilm
i understand this by remembring the example she gave about a kind bacteria that attacks heart and produces biofilm and sticks there.
Complex aggregation of microorganisms marked by the excretion of a protective and adhesive matrix
nosocomial
hospital aquired disease
why biofilm problm?
Forms on the surface of catheter lines and contact lenses.

Grows on pacemakers, heart valve replacements, artificial joints and other surgical implants.

~ 65% of nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections are caused by biofilms.

Bacteria growing in a biofilm are highly resistant to antibiotics (up to 1,000 times more resistant than the same bacteria not growing in a biofilm).
how do bacteria do energy production; through what means
plasma membrane; since they don't have mitochondira to make energy inside they import it. this is exam question.

6. important virulence factr
process of spore to life again
spore -
activation
germination
outgrowth
vegetative
bacteria growht curve:
what are the four steps?
lag: nothing is happening; bac is getting ready to grwo
Log: when they grow and do it fast in right conditions; doubling time is defined here
sationary: multipication and death rate are the same
Death: when they die
oh; LAG please LOG in the STATION or you are going to DIE
HEMOLYTIC ACTIVITY ON BLOOD AGAR of bactria; what happens?
when bacteria is grown on blood agar; you see differnt manifistations:
Alpha: icomplete
Beta: full hemolyisis
Gama: no hemolyisis
oh: a person alone is incomplete; whent get married=beta is complet; when not considering marriage is gama and no hehmolyisis
sigma factors:
what it does
2. what happens if you have a different sigma subunit?
binds to RNA polymerase and recognize promoter.
2. a different gene is expressed
