- When a prokaryote cell is placed in a hypertonic solution (water with a higher energy level compared to inside the cell), one would expect that H2O would: A) diffuse out of the cell through the lipid section of the phospholipid bilayer B) cause protein synthesis C) move using active transport proteins D) diffuse through Endoplasmic reticulum portal protein E) diffuse through portal proteins of the cell membranearrow_forwardThe chemosynthetic bacteria are autotropic or heterotropic?arrow_forwardWhat are the three cytoskeletal elements observed in eukaryotic cells?

- 50. During an experiment, equal aliquots of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are separately sonicated at the same level to mechanically disrupt bacterial cells. E. coli cells are disrupted, but there is minimal disruption of S. aureus cells. Which of the following bacterial structures best explains this difference? OA) Cytoplasmic membrane OB) Outer membrane OC) Peptidoglycan layer OD) Phospholipid bilayer OE) Polysaccharide capsulearrow_forwardWhy is peptidoglycan such a strong molecule?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT characteristic of the glycocalyx found in bacteria? Select one: A) a structure that can be visualized using an acidic negative stain and a basic counterstain B) creates a slimy, slippery coating that prevents bacteria from attaching to surfaces C) if firmly attached, contributes to bacterial virulence D) a viscous coating surrounding the cell made of polysaccharide, polypeptide, or botharrow_forward
- The ribosome is the target for many important antibiotics. These drugs must discriminate between bacterial and eukaryotic ribosomes to achieve drug specificity and toxicity. For the two common antibiotics below, what is their mechanism of action and why are they more toxic to bacteria than eukaryotes? a) Tetracycline b) Erythromycinarrow_forwardWhat phenomenon would you expect to see occurring under a microscope when healthy cells of E. coli bacteria are placed in a dish of distilled water?
