- 2Bacteria ShapesCocci (Round)
Bacillus (Rod)
Spirilli (Spiral) - 3Prokaryote vs Eukaryote cells (name features)Both are CELLULAR
Prokaryotes;
Bacteria, No organelles or defined nucleus, have a rigid cell wall and capsule. Unbound circular genome.
Eukaryotes;
Viruses and fungi, COMPLEX, contain organelles, True nucleus and
linear genome, flexible cell wall. - 4Gram Stain ColoursGram positive - Purple
Gram negative - Pink - 5Positive Gram Stain FeaturesEasy to kill, cell well has thicker peptidoglycan and teichoic acids
- 6Negative Gram Stain FeaturesHarder to kill, cell wall has thinner peptidoglycan, lipid rich membrane layers
