Shapes and Colors and Arrangements
Membrane Transport
100

This area with mostly DNA lacks a membrane and is irregularly shaped

nucleoid

100

This macromolecule, unique to bacterial cell walls, is targeted by antibiotics

What is peptidoglycan?

100

This “powerhouse” organelle, found only in eukaryotes, generates ATP through cellular respiration.

Mitochondria

100

This spherical bacterial shape is often seen in clusters or chains under the microscope.

Coccus

100

This organelle acts as a selective barrier for the cell, controlling movement of ions and particles across it

plasma membrane

200

A prokaryotic genome is this shape

Circular (also called a plasmid)

200

This antibiotic disrupts bacterial cell walls by interfering with peptide cross-links.

Penicillin 

200

This organelle, often compared to a postal service, modifies and ships proteins to their destinations.

Golgi Complex/Apparatus

200

This rod-shaped bacterial form is commonly found in chains or singly.

Bacillus

200

This type of membrane protein spans the whole bilayer

transmembrane/integral protein

300
This is the number of chromosomes humans have

46 - 23 duplicated

300

The rigidity of the bacterial cell wall prevents cell death due to osmotic pressure.

Lysis

300

This smooth operator lacks ribosomes but excels in lipid synthesis and detoxification.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum 

300

This spiral-shaped bacterium moves with a corkscrew motion and includes species like Treponema pallidum.

Spirochette

300

If a cell must move an ion against a concentration gradient, it is likely using this kind of transport

Active transport

400

This is the structural unit of chromatin

nucleosome

400

This type of bacterial cell wall contains a thick peptidoglycan layer and stains purple in Gram staining.

Gram-positive

400

This organelle uses enzymes to detoxify harmful substances like hydrogen peroxide and break down fatty acids

peroxisomes

400

Cocci arranged in grape-like clusters are described using this term.

Staphylcocci

400

If a cell does not use ATP to transport ions, it is likely using this kind of transport

Passive transport

500

This is the steps of organization of eukaryotic DNA (hint: it end with chromosome)

DNA - Wraps around a histone and forms a nucleosome which forms a chromatin fiber- this chromatin forms a chromosome

500

This outer membrane component of Gram-negative bacteria can trigger fever and septic shock.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)

500

The hydrophobic tail of the phospholipid bilayer is made out of this macromolecule

Fatty acids

500

Bacilli that align side-by-side like a picket fence exhibit this arrangement.

Palisades

500

Would a large, charged molecule be able easily pass the plasma membrane? 

NO!
