Test Bank For Microbiology: A Systems Approach 6th Edition
By Marjorie Kelly Cowan; Heidi Smith 9781260258998 Chapter
1-25 Complete Guide .
prokaryotes - ANSWER: beings cells with no true nucleus

prokaryotes - ANSWER: these have nuclear material that is not encased in a
membrane (the its DNA is packaged)

prokaryotes - ANSWER: these generally have a wall structure that is unique
compared to eukaryotes (the makeup of its cell wall)

prokaryotes - ANSWER: these dont have complex, membrane-bounded organelles in
their cytoplasm (its internal structures)

bacterial diseases - ANSWER: these include "strep" throat, lyme disease, and ear
infections

prokaryotes - ANSWER: the very first cells to appear on earth were a type of this,
possibly related to modern forms that live on sulfur compounds in geothermal ocean
vents

fimbriae - ANSWER: fine, hairlike bristles extending from the cell surface that help in
adhesion to other cells and surfaces

cell wall - ANSWER: a semirigid casing that provides structural support and shape for
the cell

inclusion/granule - ANSWER: stored nutrients such as fat, phosphate, or glycogen
deposited in dense crystals or particles that can be tapped into when needed

cell membrane - ANSWER: (cytoplasm) a thin sheet of lipid and protein that
surrounds the cytoplasm and controls the flow of materials into and out of the cell
pool

outer membrane - ANSWER: extra membrane similar to cell membrane but also
containing lipopolysaccharide. controls flow of materials, and portions of it are toxic
to mammals when released

endospore - ANSWER: dormant body formed within some bacteria that allows for
their survival in adverse conditions

cytoplasm - ANSWER: water-based solution filling the entire cell

, flagellum - ANSWER: specialized appendage attached to the cell by a basal body that
holds a long, rotating filament. the movement pushes the cell forward and provides
motility

actin cytoskeleton - ANSWER: long fibers of proteins that encircle the cell just inside
the cell membrane and contribute to the shape of the cell

ribosomes - ANSWER: tiny particles composed of protein and RNA that are the sites
of protein synthesis

plasmid - ANSWER: double-stranded DNA circle containing exta genes

pilus - ANSWER: an elongate, hollow appendage used in transfers of DNA to other
cells

bacterial chromosome - ANSWER: (nucleoid) composed of condensed DNA
molecules. DNA directs all genetics and heredity of the cell and codes for all proteins

glycocalyx - ANSWER: (pink coating) a coating of molecules external to the cell wall.
it serves protective, adhesiv, and receptor functions. it may fit tightly or be very
loose and diffuse

bacterial cells - ANSWER: all of these invariably have a cell membrane, cytoplasm,
ribosomes, and one (or few) chromosomes, the majority have a cell wal,
cytoskeleton, and some form of surface coating or glycocalyx

prokaryotes - ANSWER: specific structures that are found in some but not all of these
are flagella, pili, fimbriae, inclusions, endospores, and intracellular membranes

appendages - ANSWER: several discrete types of accessory structures that sprout
from the surface of bacteria, are common but are not present on all species

flagella and axial filaments - ANSWER: appendages that provide motility

fimbriae and pili - ANSWER: appendages that provide attachment points or channels

flagellum - ANSWER: appendage fo truly amazing construction, is certainly unique in
the biological world, primary function is to confer motility

motility - ANSWER: self-propulsion, the capacity of a cell to swim freely through an
aaqueous habitat

flagellum - ANSWER: three parts: filament, hook (sheath), basal body

filament - ANSWER: helical structure composed of proteins, is approximately 20
nanometers in diameter and varies from 1-70 microns in length
