BROCK BIOLOGY OF MICROORGANISMS 15TH
EDITION BY MADIGAN FULL CHAPTER
EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT GUIDE
©medium - liquid/solid mixture containing all required nutrients
©cell - living compartment that interacts with the environment and other
cells
©cytoplasmic (cell) membrane - barrier that separates the inside of the
cell from the outside environment
©cytoplasm - aqueous mixture of macromolecules, small organics, ions,
and ribosomes inside the cell
©ribosomes - protein-synthesizing structures
©cell wall - organelle only present in some microbes; provides extra
protection and strength
, ©prokaryotes - type of cell: some Bacteria and Archaea, have no
membrane-enclosed organelles; no nucleus
©organelles - membrane-enclosed structures within a cell
©eukaryotes - type of cell: some plants, animals, algae, protozoa, fungi;
contains organelles; has DNA-enclosed in a membrane-bound nucleus
©genome - a cell's full complement of genes
©linear chromosomes (and many more, up to billions of base pairs) -
typical eukaryotic DNA shape
©circular chromosomes that aggregate in the nucleoid region - typical
prokaryotic DNA shape
©plasmids - extrachromosomal DNA that confers special properties
(like antibiotic resistance) (found in prokaryotes)
©metabolism - the chemical transformation of nutrients
©enzymes - protein catalysts
