Morphologies and Arrangements
100
This type of fatty acid only has no double bonds between carbon atoms in the main carbon chain.
What is a saturated fatty acid?
100
This category of organism is stained pink following the Gram stain procedure.
What is Gram negative bacteria?
100
Lack of this structure is the main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
What is a membrane-bound nucleus?
100
These are the two main types of prokaryotic organisms.
What are bacteria and archaea.
100
This bacterial morphology is a single, round cell.
What is a coccus?
200
These are the subunits of nucleic acids.
What is a nucleotide?
200
This is the secondary stain used in the Gram stain procedure.
What is safranin?
200
Bacteria reproduce through this process.
What is binary fission?
200
These organisms are of interest to microbiologists because their eggs are too small to be seen with the unaided eye.
What are helminths?
200
The morphology is a single, rod-shaped cell.
What is a bacillus?
300
This molecule is formed by the formation of peptide bonds.
What is a protein?
300
Acid-fast bacteria are stained this color at the end of the acid-fast procedure.
What is red?
300
This bacterial genus does not have a cell wall.
What are mycoplasma?
300
This microbe may contain DNA or RNA, but never both.
What is a virus?
300
This bacterial arrangement is defined as a grape-like cluster of round cells.
What is staphylococcus.
400
This type of molecule contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic elements.
What is a phospholipid?
400
This reagent serves to increase the cell's affinity for the primary stain in the Gram stain procedure.
What is Gram's iodine?
400
This is the region within prokaryotic cells that contains most of the genetic material.
What is the nucleoid?
400
This category of microbe reproduces through budding or spore production.
What is fungi?
400
This bacterial arrangement is defined as a chain of rod-shaped cells.
What is streptobacillus?
500
This is the empirical formula for most carbohydrates.
What is Cn(H2O)n.
500
This staining procedure depends on the presence of mycolic acid in the cell wall.
What is the acid-fast stain?
500
These structures within prokaryotes provide nutrient reserves.
What are inclusions?
500
These are the two categories of protists.
What are algae and protozoans?
500
This bacterial arrangement is a grouping of four cells arranged in a square.
What is a tetrad?
