Characteristics
Capsule
A type of Glycocalyces, composed of polysaccarides, protects from white blood cells
Monotricious
corn dog
who produces endospores?
Gram-Positive bacteria
name the three types of reproduction of prokaryotic cells
Binary Fission
Snapping division
Budding
Slime Layer
Loosely attaches to cell, lets stuff (prokaryotic) stick to it (gooey)
peritricious
flagella all over, slowest
how is it possible for bacterial endospores to allow some bacteria to live in extreme temps?
The endospores contain high levels of calcium, which absorbs H2O from the endospore, making it hard to boil (heat resistant)
Describe Binary Fission
1 becomes 2, 2 becomes 4 ect.
Do prokaryotic cells have a nucleus?
No, they have a nucleiod
amphitricious
flagella on both sides (candy)
What happens to bacterial proteins if the bacteria does not make endospores and is subjected to high heat?
They will denature.
Describe Budding
The DNA is copied in the cell membrane, then the cell becomes long and carries one DNA to the edge. Then the little DNA breaks off and becomes its own.
Are prokaryotic cells the most diverse group of cellular microbes?
yes they are!!!!
lophotricious
Many flagella on one side
What are endospores used for?
Endospores are used by bacteria as a defense strategy for unfavorable conditions
List similarities and differences for Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
Similarities: have ribosomes, both produce ATP
Differences: Eukaryotic is bigger than Prokaryotic, ATP is produced in different places (E.= mitochondria, P.=in the cell membrane)
