Hook (sheath)

- 38Monotrichoussingle flagellum
- 39Lophotrichoussmall bunches of tufts

- 41flagella are dispersed randomly over the surface of the cellPeritrichous
- 42Chemotaxisthe movement of flagellum in response to chemical signals
- 43Positive chemotaxismovement of flagellum in response to favorable chemical stimulus
- 44movement of flagellum away from a repellent (potentially harmful) compound.Negative chemotaxis
- 45PhototaxisMovement as a result of a light source
- 46Is Phototaxis positive or negative?Can be either positive or negative
moving toward or away - 47Describe what happens when a bacteria cell runsThe flagella moves counterclockwise.
The cell moves in a smooth, linear direction toward a stimulus - 48What causes a bacteria cell to tumble?Repellants cause numerous tumbles
- 49What is it called when the flagellum of a bacterial cell reverses direction causing the cell to stop and change course?Tumble
- 50As a bacterial cell gets closer to it's attractant, what happens to the run and tumble sequence?the walk becomes "biased" toward more runs and fewer tumbles directing the cell to it's attractant
- 51Axial FilamentsTwo or more long coiled threads found in spirochetes that are the cells internal flagellum
- 52Long coiled threads that cause a twisting motion within a spirocheteAxial Filaments
- 53These bristle-like fibers on the surface of some bacteria have a tendency to stick to each other and to surfacesFimbriae
(sing; Fimbria) - 54These fibers found on the surface of E.coli, may be responsible for biofilmsFimbriae
- 55A long rigid tubular structure, can transfer DNA and is only found in gram-negative bacteriaPili
- 56A pilus is made of a special protein called..pilin
- 57Pili is used in a mating process between cells called..Conjugation
- 58What is a slime layer?Glycocalyx formed loosely around the cell, protects the cells from water/nutrient loss.
- 59What is a capsule?Glycocalyx that is bound tightly around a cell, denser and thicker than slime layer.
- 60What do capsules protect against?bacteria from being phagocytized by white blood cells.

- 63Cell envelope is composed of three parts, what are they?Cell wall
cell membrane
outer membrane (in some bacteria) - 64A Gram-positive cell wall can be described as a...--Thick cell wall of peptidoglycan

Inner cytoplasmic membrane - 66What are the characteristics of a cell wall structure?--determine the shape of the cell
--structural support - 67Describe on important factor that is necessary to consider in order to identify or treat an infection that was caused by a Gram-neg bacteria?The outer membrane has an extra barrier that is more difficult to penetrate than Gram-positive bacteria.

- 75Septahyphae divided into segments or cross wall
- 76HyphaeHairlike fibers or cells (mold)
- 77what are the two ways in which fungi can reproduce?Sexually and Asexually
- 78What is the disadvantage of Asexual reproduction for a fungi?There is no genetic diversity, every cell is a clone of the parent which affects survivability
- 79What is the disadvantage of Sexual reproduction for a fungi?Just that is requires a partner
- 80What is the advantage of Sexual reproduction for a fungi?It has genetic diversity so increased chances of survival
- 81What are Saprobes?A type of fungi that obtains it's substrates from dead plants an animals
- 82What are Heterotrophic fungi?A type of fungi that acquires it's nutrients from a wide variety of substrates

- 84A protozoan that is considered a sprozoan is called a/an_____________ and causes the diesease______________Apicomplexan / Maleria
- 85What mode of locomotion does an apicomplexan use?it is non-motile
- 86These organisms are usually harmless but a few species are parasitic and responsible for millions of infections in humans per year. What classification are they in?Protista /Protozoa
- 87Any unicellular or colonial organism that lacks true tissuesProtist
- 88Protozoans are categorized by the way that theyMove/ there methods of locomotion
- 89Name 3 methods of locomotion for a protozoanPseudopods ("false feet")
Flagella
Cilia - 90Most protozoans have 1 of 3 methods of locomotion but a fourth protozoan called_________uses what method of locomotion?Apicomplexan (sporozoan) / non-motile
