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)
|
|

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 |
