ANSWERS PASSED ALREADY
GRADED A+
Eukaryotic cells are found in - Correct Answer ✔✔ animals, plants, fungi, protists
Organelles - Correct Answer ✔✔ Enclosed by cell membrane, components that involve
metabolism, nutrition, synthesis.
Bacteria are a category of prokaryotes with cell walls made of - Correct Answer ✔✔
peptidoglycan
Appendages for Motility - Correct Answer ✔✔ flagella and axial filaments
Appendages for attachment sites or channels - Correct Answer ✔✔ pili and fimbriae
Structure of flagellum (3 parts) - Correct Answer ✔✔ filament, sheath and basal body
Flagellar Response - Correct Answer ✔✔ They're sensory (chemotaxis) run and tumble
locomotion & steering
spirochetes, corkscrew shaped bacteria - Correct Answer ✔✔ serpentine locomotion by
2 or more coiled threads (periplasmic flagella or axial filaments)
Non Flagellar appendages - Correct Answer ✔✔ Fimbria (smaller & common, like a
bristle) and Pili (specialized functions)
Bacterial Conjugation is - Correct Answer ✔✔ the direct transfer of genetic material
(DNA) via Pili from one bacterial cell to another
Glycocalyx - Correct Answer ✔✔ Slime layer for protection and adherence
Capsules - Correct Answer ✔✔ composed of mucoid (sticky) polysaccharides
Gram Positive - Correct Answer ✔✔ thick cell wall of peptidoglycan and the cell
membrane (traps the crystal violet)
Gram Negative - Correct Answer ✔✔ thin layer of peptidoglycan, allowing easy removal
of crystal violet (the alcohol actually removes the outer membrane)
