|
Smooth strain |
Has c.c. Called smooth- because first layer will be of glycocalyx instead of cell wall. |
|
|
Rough strain |
No c.c. first layer will be cell wall-which is rough (You will see the cell wall instead of c.c.) |
|
|
Glycocalyx |
Cell coat (c.c) sugary cup around bacterial cell. |
|
|
What determines if a cell has a cell wall? |
If the environment has sugar in it. |
|
|
What are the two possibilities glycocalyx? |
Capsule or slime layer. |
|
|
What is better for the cell to have if they want a higher pathogenicity? |
It is better if the cell has a cell coat due to its multiple functions. |
|
|
This cell surface structure for prokaryotics has the ability to resist phagocytosis. |
Cell coat. (C.c.) |
|
|
What does the cell coats function of resisting drying benefit the cell itself? |
Being resistant to drying will allow the cell to exist longer in the atmosphere. |
|
|
Murein is the name for what structure? |
Cell wall |
|
|
What is the composition of a bacterial cell wall? |
Peptidoglycan (pg) |
