Stire of transport components to move substances into and out of the cell

Site of protein synthesis

attachment to surfaces and other cells

protection from large antibiotic molecules

Area of DNA

storage of extra nutrients

protection from dehydration and phagocytosis, role in adhesion to surfaces

protection from osmotic bursting

motility of the cell in its environment

site for receptors and digestive enzymes

removal, electrons

pyruvate

2

they are completely oxided to co2

all of the above

NAD+

oxygen

pyruvate

they are excreted into the cell’s environment

protons, ATP

Fibers composed of repeating sugar units crosslinked with short peptide chains

To prevent osmotic water pressure from bursting the cell like an overfilled water balloon

The peptidoglycan in G+ consists of multiple layers, many more than the few in G-cell walls

G- has peptidoglycan later plus an outer membrane layer

Another membrane like structure plus LPS and porins

The volume between the inner and outer membrane with enzyme and receptors

A component of the LPS latter that can be toxic to humans

Lipid A is the G- cell wall component that is toxic to the body and was named endotoxin

Edema (swelling), low blood pressure, rapid pulse, and respiration sometimes death

Mycoplasma

translation

replication

UV light , gamma radiation , DNA disrupting chemical

they alter or interfere with some activity of the cell DNA

transformation

conjugation

small, extra chromosomal circle of DNA that can be transferred to another cell

bacterial viruses do the transfer

pili
