Terrestrial Ecosystem

An ecosystem is a collection of interconnected communities. It includes both living and non-living elements of specific strata. The terrestrial ecosystem is solely related to the ecosystem present on the land and covers 25 to 30% of the total earth’s surface area.

Fill in the blank: Some bacteria can form _________________ to withstand unfavorable conditions in the environment
Bacterial growth depends on many environmental factors, including the temperature of the environment. Since microbes can survive in a certain range of temperatures and will thrive at a temperature, understanding these variables allows for control of their growth. This understanding can be used, for example, to preserve certain foods or to treat infections. This lab simulation will use an instrument called a spectrophotometer. This instrument quantitatively measures the amount of light that is absorbed or transmitted by molecules in solution. Microbial populations grow at different rates based on temperature. One way to measure growth is by turbidity measurements. When bacteria multiply in a broth culture they turn the clear solution cloudy, or turbid. a) in your own words explain the proper steps to Inoculate 5°C sterile broth tube using aseptic technique
Microbiologists use the Gram stain to differentiate among two groups of bacteria. How do Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria differ? Question 1 options: the presence or absence of peptidoglycan in the cell wall the presence or absence of muramic acid in the cell wall the presence or absence of outer plasma membrane the lipid composition of plasma membrane none of the above.
Fill in the blank: The cell wall of bacteria is made-up of the polysaccharide ______________________. Gram negative bacteria have ____________________ cell wall than Gram positive bacteria.
Which statement about the cellular arrangments of bacteria is NOT correct? Spiral bacteria are typically single. A diplobacillus arrangement consists of two cocci adhering to one another. A chain of bacilli is called a streptobacillus arrangement. A cube-shaped arrangement of cocci is a sarcina. A square-shaped arrangement of cocci is a tetrad.
Which of the following is not true about biofilms a) are caused by many Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria as well as algae and fungi b) are highly contagious c) are hard to treat due to impermeability to drugs
Which of the following statement/s is/are true about gram positive bacteria Cell wall has thick peptidoglycan layer Cell wall lipid content is very low Lipopolyscharride layer is absent All of the above
Bacteria can best survive low pH and dryness by producing ____________. Group of answer choices Endospores Capsules Endotoxin Cytotoxins
Gram-negative bacteria are not killed by penicillin because they: do not have ribosomes. have an outer membrane layer covering their peptidoglycan cell wall. have two layers of peptidoglycan. do not have peptidoglycan. their ribosomes are protected with their own outer membrane layer.
Prokaryotes can move in response to many stimuli in their external environment. The response of a bacterial cell to chemical cues is best defined as . Group of answer choices Chemotaxis Gravitaxis Phototaxis Magnetotaxis
You conduct a gram stain on a bacterial culture. After counterstaining with safranin, cells are purple. What statements are true about the bacterial cells? (Choose all that are true.) Group of answer choices The cell wall of these cells helps to maintain cell shape and protect the cell from osmotic lysis. The cells have teichoic acids that have many important functions in gram positive bacteria Cells have a periplasmic space and a thin layer of peptidoglycan. The cells produce endotoxin (LPS) and may cause septic shock in an infected individual.
Some bacteria have a tube which allows materials to move directly into or out of the cytoplasm. This tube is called a ___. cilium flagellum genera pilus
