what are the four types of locomotion


-flagella


-chemotaxis


-twitching motility


-gliding motility

define peritrichous

flagella all over body of cell

define polar

one flagella at one end of cell

define lophitrichous

several flagella at one end of cell

define amphitrichous

one flagella at both ends

what are the two main parts to the rotary motor


-rotor


-stator


what is the rotor made up of
rod and rings

what is the stator made up of

mot proteins
what interacts with the PMF

the MS and C rings
what direction does the flagella turn to move forward

CCW
what direction does the flagella turn to move backward

CW
regarding chemotaxis, how do cells sense attractant?

receptors on CM and phosphorelay system

how does the phosphorelay system aid in chemotaxis

signals are relayed to flagellar motor
how many cilia does a eukaryotic cell have

tons
what makes up the structure of euk. flagella

microtubule doublets
how are flagella built in euks?

from the bottom

what special feature does a eukaryotic flagellum have that a bacterial cell does not


plasma membrane surrounding flagellum

what holds the doublets together?

dymein

what does dymein do

binds to atp and causes a conformational change that makes the flagella bend in a whiplike motion
what are the main structures of bacterial flagellum

basal body, hook, filament

what are the main structures of eukaryotic flagellum

microtubules and plasma membrane

what are the main structures of archaeal flagellum

similar to bacteria but different filament proteins

how big are bact. flag.

14nm
how big are euk. flag

200nm

how big are archael flag

less than 10nm

how are bact. flag. assembled

from the top

how are arch. flag. assembled

from the base

what powers bact flag

PMF

what powers euk and arch flag

ATP

what kind of motion does bact. flag have

rotary

what kind of motion does arch flag have

slower rotary

what are the two types of nonflagellar motility

twitching and gliding
what are three characteristics of twitching motility


-type IV pili


-extend and retract to inch along


-not very fast


what are three characteristics of gliding motility


-structures unknown


-smooth translocation


-has evolved many times

what is the proposed mechanism of gliding motility

movement via adhesion of outer surface proteins

what is gliding motility powered by

PMF
