variable length or curves
Cytoplasmic Membrane
(plasma membrane) controls what comes into and leaves the cell bc its a semipermiable membrane.
active transport
pumping mechanism to transport stuff in and out of cell
Cytoplasm
contains all the machinery that allows the cell to grow and produce a new copy of itself (all the stuff inside the cytoplasmic membrane)
Ribosomes
enzymes that perform translation
granules (inclusions)
provide an energy source and available for special needs
cell wall
made of petidoglycan (a polysccharide); shapes and strengthens cell to prevent lysis; forms a fish net like structure (LYSOZYME breaks down PG)
Capsules
glycocalyx or sugar coat covering; makes the cell sliperry to avoid capture by WBC; makes it difficult for antibodies to bind to the cell
cell envelope is comprised of
cytoplasmic membrane and cell wall
fimbrae
hairlike appendages on the external surface; to hold onto host cells
sex pilus
for gene transfer (only has 1 or 2)
gram positive
2 layered cell envelope
gram neg
3 layered cell walls
4 STEPS OF GRAM STAINING
1. stain with the primary, crystal violet
2. fix the vyrstal violet with iodine so it aggregates
3. wash the aggregates from the porous gram neg bacteria with acetone
4. counterstain with safranin so the gram neg cells are readily visible
vibrio
comma or curved`
sprirochete
helical
cytoplasmic membrane defines
inside from outside of cell; contains protein transporters that pump;
peptidoglycan is like
a fishnet
an outer membrane is unique to
gram neg bacteria
what is chemically unique to the outer membrane of gram neg bacteria
lipopolysaccharide
gram positive bacteria have many layers of
peptidoglycan
3 major components of bacterial flaggella
filament, hook and basal body
