What structure contains genetic material?
Chromosome
What structures translates RNA into protein?

What type of bacteria is composed of a thick layer of peptidoglycan (murein) and has a color of purple?
Gram-positive
What type of bacteria have an outer membrane that dissolves in the presence of alcohol and has a color of pink? The outer layer is called ___________
Gram-negative; Lipopolysaccharide
What type of bacteria has no color, the lipid layer is waxy, and has no color? The genus of this bacteria is ____________
Acid-fast; Mycobacterium
The ____________ is found primarily in Gram negative MOs
Outer Membrane
______________is an important part of the outer bacterial membrane
Lipolpolysaccharide (LPS)
Why do we gram stain? (2 reasons)
-It shows how bacteria are categorized (Gram positive, Gram negative, and Acid-fast)
-It allows us to see chemical differences in cell wall
Gram Negative is also known as an ______________
Endotoxin
T/F
People who have a Gram Negative infection can get worse because of the antibiotic
True (kills cells and releases the toxins)
The Outer Membrane consists of _________ and __________
Polysaccharides and Lipid A
The Periplasmic Space is a gap between the cell ________ and the cell _______
Wall and Membrane
What contains many digestive enzymes and transports proteins that destroy harmful substances, then transport metabolites into the cytoplasm called?
Periplasmic Space
The Periplasmic Space is in the Gram _________ spaces only
Negative
Basic Functions:
-Maintains the basic shape of the cell
-Prevents the cell from bursting due to osmotic shock
-Found in almost all bacteria
Cell Wall
The exception that does not have a cell wall is the genus ___________
Mycoplasma
2 Components of the Cell Wall are ________ and __________
Peptidoglycan and Teichoic Acid
What is the main function of the cell membrane?
Regulate the movement of materials into and out of the cell
The semi-fluid substance inside the bacterial cell is the _____________
Cytoplasm
An area where most of the DNA and some of the RNA are found
Nuclear Regions
Granules an Vesicles make up this part of the prokaryotic cell:
Inclusions
Endospores are only found in the genus _________ and ___________
Clostridium and Bacillus
Bacteria produce endospores when the nutrient supply drops. This state is called the ________ state
Resting
When conditions become more favorable for growth, the endospores can germinate and begin growing again. This state is called the __________ state
Vegitative
Which type of pilli is also called F(fertility) pilli or sex pilli?
Conjugational Pilli
Conjugated Pilli allow for the exchange of ___________ information
Genetic
Conjugation is critical with ____________
Resistence
The polysaccharide containing substance found external to the cell wall
Glycocalyx (contains the capsule and slime layer)
The powerhouse of the cell, where ATP is produced
Mitochondria
The site of DNA storage
Nucleus
The site of photosynthesis in eukaryotic photototrophs
Chloroplasts
The site of protein synthesis
Ribosomes
Contain digestive enzymes, which destroy dead cells and digest contents of vacuoles
Lysosomes
The site of modification and packaging of cell chemicals before secretion from the cell
Golgi Apparatus
Contain various stored substances and materials engulfed by phagocytosis
Vacuoles
Converts hydrogen peroxides to water and oxygen to prevent build up in the cell
Perioxisomes
Movement of substances across membranes usually occurs from a region of _________ concentration to a region of ____________ concentration
Higher; Lower
Bacteria that can perform photosynthesis contain chromatophores, which are membrane bound
Internal membrane systems
Uses protein carrier molecules or protein-lined pores in membranes to move ions or molecules from high to low concentrations across the membrane
Facilitated Diffusion
If you have a two percent salt solution in a beaker and a bag with a selectively permeable membrane with a five percent salt solution placed in the beaker, there is a
(higher or lower)
concentration of water in the two percent solution?
Higher--- this is a hypotonic solution
The behavior of cells in a fluid envioronment is called:
Tonicity
Less solute in solution; concentration of water higher; if too much water, RBC will burst
Hypotonic Solution
More solute in solution; concentration of water less; if water rushes out, RBC will collapse
Hypertonic Solution
Equal flow in and out of RBC; no net change
Isotonic Solution
Moves substances across membranes from lower concentration to higher concentration and require the cell to expend energy
Active transport
Endocytosis means ___________
Exocytosis means ___________
Inside; Outside
