Members of the mycoplasma genus of bacteria do not have a cell wall for protection, existing with only a simple cell membrane made up of fatty acids and phospholipids. They cannot however, synthesize their own fatty acids. How is this possible?
A. They use host materials
B. They use peptidoglycan from other bacteria
C. They use anabolism as a way to create their outer membrane
D. They use amino acids to build their membranes
For bacteria to infect cells, it produces an extracellular protease that
destroys tissue structure particularly transmembrane proteins. The
bacteria are grown in culture so that the protease can be isolated.
Then the culture is centrifuged. In which sample would the
protease be most likely found?
A. Precipitate containing whole bacteria
B. Cell-free filtrate; that is, the supernatant
C. The lysate of the whole culture
D. Lysed bacteria only
E. All of these
