It's in your Genes
This area with mostly DNA lacks a membrane and is irregularly shaped
nucleoid
This macromolecule, unique to bacterial cell walls, is targeted by antibiotics
What is peptidoglycan?
This “powerhouse” organelle, found only in eukaryotes, generates ATP through cellular respiration.
Mitochondria
This spherical bacterial shape is often seen in clusters or chains under the microscope.
Coccus
This organelle acts as a selective barrier for the cell, controlling movement of ions and particles across it
plasma membrane
A prokaryotic genome is this shape
Circular (also called a plasmid)
This antibiotic disrupts bacterial cell walls by interfering with peptide cross-links.
Penicillin
This organelle, often compared to a postal service, modifies and ships proteins to their destinations.
Golgi Complex/Apparatus
This rod-shaped bacterial form is commonly found in chains or singly.
Bacillus
This type of membrane protein spans the whole bilayer
transmembrane/integral protein
46 - 23 duplicated
The rigidity of the bacterial cell wall prevents cell death due to osmotic pressure.
Lysis
This smooth operator lacks ribosomes but excels in lipid synthesis and detoxification.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
This spiral-shaped bacterium moves with a corkscrew motion and includes species like Treponema pallidum.
Spirochette
If a cell must move an ion against a concentration gradient, it is likely using this kind of transport
Active transport
This is the structural unit of chromatin
nucleosome
This type of bacterial cell wall contains a thick peptidoglycan layer and stains purple in Gram staining.
Gram-positive
This organelle uses enzymes to detoxify harmful substances like hydrogen peroxide and break down fatty acids
peroxisomes
Cocci arranged in grape-like clusters are described using this term.
Staphylcocci
If a cell does not use ATP to transport ions, it is likely using this kind of transport
Passive transport
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
This outer membrane component of Gram-negative bacteria can trigger fever and septic shock.
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
The hydrophobic tail of the phospholipid bilayer is made out of this macromolecule
Fatty acids
Bacilli that align side-by-side like a picket fence exhibit this arrangement.
Palisades
Would a large, charged molecule be able easily pass the plasma membrane?
NO!
