Select questions (50)

Normally, all words in an exercise is used when performing the test and playing the games. You can choose to include only a subset of the words. This setting affects both the regular test, the games, and the printable tests.

All None

  • sphere shaped bacteria Coccus, Streptococcus pneumoniae
  • stick shaped bacteria (Bacillus) Rod, Escherichia coli
  • mixture between sphere and stick shape, a blob Coccobacillus, Bordetella pertussis
  • Spiral shaped, flexible Spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi
  • Spiral shaped, rigid Spirillum, Campylobacter jejuni
  • Thread shaped bacteria, like yarn Filamentous bacteria, Nocardia asteroides
  • double coccus diplococcus
  • cluster/bunch (of grapes) coccus Staphylococcus
  • Twisted/chain coccus streptococcus
  • bundle (four on four) coccus sarcina
  • (groups of) four coccus tetrad
  • Archeal shape: Haloquadratum walsbyi flat squares
  • Archeal shape: Ferroplasma acidiphilum ameboid
  • cell size for prokaryotes (most are small, but there are larger ones too) 0,2-750 µm
  • cell size for eukaryotes 10-200 µm
  • What is the advantage of having more surface area relativ to cell volume than large cells? more efficient nutrient exchange and faster growth
  • What is the lower limit of cell sizes and why? 0,15 µm, not enough space for basic cellular materials ex: DNA
  • Common for all living organisms (Bacteria, Archea, Eukarya), but not everything with THIS is an organism. cell membranes
  • Elongation of the word Phospholipid Phosphatidylethanolamine
  • Bacterial cytoplasmic membranes consist of a Lipid bilayer with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails.
  • These are the linkages, present in bacterial cytoplasmic membranes ester linkages
  • These are the linkages, present in Archaeal cytoplasmic membranes ether linkages
  • One form of Archaeal cytplasmic membranes has Phytanyl as tail and is called Glycerol diether
  • One form of Archaeal cytoplasmic membranes has Biphytanyl as tail and is called Diglycerol tetraethers
  • One Archaeal cytoplasmic membrane has four cyclopentanes and one cyclohexane and is called Crenarchaeol
  • Archaeal membrane can have its phospholipids stuck together by the tails Lipid monolayer
  • Archaeal membranes can have the phospholipid layers separate Lipid bilayer
  • Bacterial membranes are lipid bilayers, while Archaeal membranes can have either bilayer, monolayer or both
  • Three functions of the cytoplasmic membrane are permeability barrier, protein anchor and energy conservation
  • This is what the membrane is "energised" by Proton motive force, PMF
  • Layer located outside of the cytoplasmic membrane cell wall
  • This is the function of the cell wall provide structural support to the osmotic pressure of the cell membrane
  • The cell wall is made of peptidoglycan with beta-1,4 bonds
  • Peptidoglycan has G and M, G is called N-Acetylglocoseamine
  • Peptidoglycan has G and M, M is called N-Acetylmuramic acid
  • Lysozyme is an enzyme that destroys the cell wall . it does not lyse cells, but it leads to lysis
  • What is the meaning of lysis? cellbursting
  • The gram positive cell wall is provided with rigidity by having Teichoic and Lipoteichoic acid that connects the cell wall and the cell membrane
  • The most unique feature of the gram negative cell wall An outer membrane with LPS
  • What is the space amongst gram negative cell walls called, in which you can find the peptidoglycan? periplasm
  • LPS Lipopolysaccharide
  • When staining a cell with a gram positive cell wall it gets the color blue since the iodine traps the dye inside of the cell wall.
  • When staining a cell with a gram negative cell wall it gets the color red since the the color is washed out and is stained by the safranin
  • LPS is otherwise known as this. endotoxin
  • LPS is made of three layers. Name them in the order of what layer is closest to the membrane Lipid A, Core polysaccharide, O-antigen
  • O-antigen, otherwise known as O-specific polysaccharide is at the end of the LPS
  • All bacteria have cell walls false - some have, false - no bacteria have cell walls, true
  • Various types of archaeal cell walls? pseudomurein, S-layers, polysaccharides
  • What is a cell envelope? components surrounding the cell, only for Bacteria
  • Components that can be part of the cell envelope Capsule polysaccharides, S-layer, outer membrane, cell wall/peptidoglycan, inner membrane, proteins and other molecules

All None
