Term
cell theory
Definition
1. all living organisms are made up of cells.
2. the cell is the unit of life.
3. cells can only arrise from pre-existing cells.
Term
cells
Definition
prokaryotic/ eukaryotic
Term
nucleoid
Definition
general region of cytoplasm where chromosome is present
Term
chromosome
Definition
single, circular, double- stranded DNA looped and folded upon itself.
Term
ribosome + function
o O
30s 50s
Subunit Subunit
Definition
photo synthesis
O
o
70s
complete ribosome
Term
S
Definition
Suedberg unit rate of sedimentation in an ultracentrifuge it is a function of size, weight and shape of particle.
Term
Cell wall
Definition
bacterial cell walls are well- designed and crafted structures. All bacteria are classified based on the surface of the cell wall into gram (+) and gram (-) types.
Term
inclusion
Definition
reserve deposits if different substances
Term
gram (+)
Definition
bacteria stain purple with the gram stain.
Term
gram (-)
Definition
bacteria stain pink.
Term
the difference in reaction to the gram stain is due to:
Definition
differences in cell wall structure
Term
1.flagella
Definition
whip like structures; locomotion
Term
2.axial filaments
Definition
Term
3.pili
Definition
structures used for attachment to surfaces, and for DNA exchange between bacteria O===O.
Term
4.Fimbriae
Definition
structures used for attachments to surfaces.
Term
5.Capsule
Definition
gelatinous layer outer to cell wall determines bacterial virulence (disease causing ability). A strain with the capsule causes diseases, while strains without the capsule does not.
Term
when the capsule is present
Definition
our macrophage (phagocytic cells) do not see the bacterium as foreign, and do not engulf it. The bacterium is able to multiply and cause diseases. A strain recognized by the macrophage as foreign and phagocytosed; this is unable to cause disease.
Term
size
Definition
1 um diameter
Term
