1Which statement about bacterial structure is INCORRECT?
- ABacteria have cell walls.
- BBacteria have a nucleus.
- CBacteria can have flagella for motility.
- DBacteria have ribosomes.
2Select the INCORRECT statement about peptidoglycan.
- APeptidoglycan is the target of antibiotics.
- BOnly bacterial cell walls contain peptidoglycan.
- CAll bacterial cells have an equal amount of peptidoglycan in their cell wall.
3Which of the following is statements about the bacterial cell wall is NOT correct?
- AIt is a rigid macromolecular layer which provides strength to the cell.
- BIt confers cell shape and protects cell from lysing via osmosis.
- CIt has pores to allow transport of macromolecules.
4Gram-positive bacteria have a [blank_start]simple, thick[blank_end] layer of peptidoglycan as their cell wall, which retains the [blank_start]crystal violet[blank_end] Gram stain even when washed with alcohol. Gram-negative bacteria have a [blank_start]complex[blank_end] cell wall with a [blank_start]thin[blank_end] layer of peptidoglycan, therefore the gram stain can be washed out with alcohol and the [blank_start]safranin[blank_end] dyes the cells [blank_start]pink[blank_end].
- Asimple, thick
- Bcomplex, thin
- Ccrystal violet
- Dsafranin (pink)
- Ecomplex
- Fsimple
- Gthin
- Hthick
- Isafranin
- Jgram stain
- Kpink
- Lorange
5Choose the INCORRECT statement about bacterial flagella.
- AFlagella act as a propeller.
- BFlagella have 3 structures: the long filament, the flexible 'hook', and the rigid basal body.
- CThe 'running' motion of bacteria is due to the clockwise rotation of the flagella.
- DFlagella give bacteria motility and allow them to move at high speeds, and change direction.
6Which statements about bacterial movement are true?
- ABacteria rotate the flagellum CCW to 'run' and CW to stop and rotate/turn.
- BRandom movement promotes a higher chance of finding nutrients.
- CBacteria only exhibit positive chemotaxis.
- DBacteria are too small to sense a spatial gradient, and must detect gradients by moving over time (temporal gradient).
7Which of the following statements about bacterial fimbriae/pili are CORRECT?
- AThey allow bacteria to adhere to surfaces.
- BThey play a role in bacterial motility.
- CFimbriae/pili have proteins called adhesins which bind to specific receptors on cell surfaces.
- DAll bacteria have fimbriae/pili.
8Which statement about bacterial capsid layers are INCORRECT?
- AAll capsid layers are made of glycocalyx, which forms a sticky mesh of fibres.
- BIf the layer is disorganised and loosely attached to the cell wall, it is called a slime layer.
- CIf the layer is organised and firmly attached to the cell wall, it is called a capsule.
- DCapsules can provide nutrients, protection from antibodies, and prevent cell desiccation.
- EGram-negative bacteria do not have capsules.
9Which of these statements about endospores are CORRECT?
- AEndospores are very heat resistant, but not very chemical resistant.
- BOnly some gram-positive bacteria can produce endospores.
- CThe trigger for making endospores is a certain stage of the bacteria's life cycle.
- DEndospores can last up to 50 million years in their dormant state.
10Which of these is NOT a type of endospore?
- ATerminal
- BSub-terminal
- CCentral
- DSub-central
11Which of these is NOT a specific property of endospores?
- ALow water content
- BHigh Ca2+ concentration
- CMany layers not present in the typical vegetative cell
- DLow metabolic activity
- ENo diplicolinic acid
12Prokaryotic cells are [blank_start]small and unicellular[blank_end]. They have [blank_start]no[blank_end] endomembrane system [blank_start]or[blank_end] cytoskeleton, their DNA is [blank_start]circular[blank_end], and they reproduce via [blank_start]binary fission[blank_end].
Eukaryotic cells are larger and often multicellular. They have [blank_start]an[blank_end] endomembrane system (e.g. nucleus, ER, Golgi, etc) and a cytoskeleton. Their DNA is [blank_start]linear[blank_end] and they reproduce via meiosis and mitosis.- Asmall and unicellular

- Objectives: describe the basic function of the components found in prokaryotes and the unique features found only in prokaryotes, and identify the key characteristcs that distinguish Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
