SLCC Microbiology Final Review Questions
With Complete Solutions
Active transport Mechanisms that a cell uses to transport a substances from lower
concentration to higher concentration.
Plasmolyze A bacterial cell will typically do this in hypertonic enviroment
cytoskeleton The structural framework in a cell
Golgi apparatus Part of the endomembrame system
Algae A single-celled eukaryote that is photosynthetic
Archaea Probable category of an organism with a small cell with no nucleus and no
peptidoglycan. A member of this domain occupies the rumen of cattle and may contribute to
global warming
Isotonic Environmental condition used to maintain intact protoplasts
, SLCC Microbiology Final Review Questions
With Complete Solutions
Bioremediation The use of microorganisms to restore damaged environment (oil spill)
Gram devised a staining technique that divides all bacteria into two groups
Pasteur Used flasks with bent necks to trap dust and disprove spontaneous generation of
microorganisms
Mutualism Type of symbiotic association in which E. coli living in our intestine produce
human blood-clotting factor
Biofilm Community of microbes growing on surfaces
legume type of plant that hosts symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria
8 electrons the need of most atoms to have __________ in their valence [outer] shell
drives chemical bonding
hydrolytic The reverse of dehydration synthesis reaction

Metabolic Bacteria are noted for their ______ diversity; there aren't very many shapes
they can take
5' end In a nucleotide, a phosphate group is bonded to the _____ group of the sugar
Peptide A ______interbridge is found in Gram positive, but not Gram negative cell walls
L form We use this form of amino acids in our proteins
Amino The first amino acid put into a polypeptide has an exposed ____ group
