Chapter 3, Problem 8MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Bacterial envelope includes cell wall, plasma membrane and glycocalyx. Plasma membrane is composed of phospholipid bilayer with function of regulation of exit and entry of substances in and out of the cytoplasm. The cell wall contains mainly peptidoglycan and maintains the shape of the cell. Glycocalyx is a phospholipid layer that lies outside the cell wall and helps the bacteria to resist the immune reactions in host body.

According to the endosymbiotic theory, why was it adaptive for the larger (host) cell to keep the engulfed cell alive, rather than digesting it as food?
A.
The host cell would have been poisoned if it had digested the engulfed cell.
B.
The host cell was able to survive anaerobic conditions with the engulfed cell alive.
C.
The engulfed cell provided the host cell with CO2
D.
The engulfed cell provided the host cell with ATP.
E.
The engulfed cell allowed the host cell to metabolize glucose.

Why do these drugs tend to have little toxicity to human cells?arrow_forwardBacteria lack independent internal membrane systems, but are able to perform photosynthesis and respiration, both of which use membranes. They are able to perform these functions because a. they actually have internal membranes, but only for these functions. b. invaginations of the plasma membrane can provide an internal membrane surface. c. they take place outside of the cell between the membrane and the cell wall. d. they use protein-based structures to take the place of internal membranes.arrow_forward
- Subject: Microbiology The author of a general biology textbook writes in reference to the development of antibiotic resistance, “The speed at which bacteria reproduce ensures that sooner or later a mutant bacterium will appear that is able to resist the poison.” How might this mutant bacterial cell appear? Do you agree with the statement? Does this bode ill for the future use of antibiotics?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about plasmodesmata is true? a. They prevent cytoplasm from passing between cells. b. They are important in the formation of tight junctions. c. They may float freely in the cytoplasm or be membrane-bound. d. They allow adjacent plant cells to communicate with each other.arrow_forwardMembers 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 membranesarrow_forward
