MIMM 211 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Germ Tube, Protozoa, Cell Division
Document Summary
We know due to 2 disks on flagellum connected in membrane of cell. Has outer membrane (lipid, protein, carbohydrate composed) Site of numerous chemical reactions: metabolize glucose. Composed of water at 90%(very thick/ gel like composition) Can be seen by microscopy: nucleoid. Large and small subunits made of rna and proteins: inclusion bodies. Bacteria who need less oxygen underwater float downward towards earth cause of magnetic field pointing down. Organized by a cytoskeleton: less complex than eukaryotic cells. Most resistant biological structures known (gram +: resist harsh environments. No growing, resting structures, no metabolism, surviving state: survive hundreds of years. Radiation: they formation is induced when growth conditions and unfavorable, in favorable conditions they start gorwing again. Sporulation: from vegetative cell to and endospore cell divides into two unequal parts the larger part engulf the smaller part forespore forespore matures to become an endospore. Synthesis of a protective thick wall: inner cortex (peptidoglycan)
