What type of cell has a cell wall made of murien?
Prokaryotic
6 of 17
What is murien?
A polymer made up of polysaccharides and peptides
7 of 17
What type of cell does not have a capsule?
Eukaryotic
8 of 17
What is the function of the cell wall?
A physical barrier that excludes certain substances and protects against mechanical damage and osmotic lysis
9 of 17
What is the function of the capsule?
Protects bacterium from other cells and helps groups of bacteria stick together for further protection
10 of 17
What is the function of the cell surface membrane?
Acts as a differentially permeable layer, which controls the entry and exit of chemicals
11 of 17
What it the function of the circular DNA?
Possesses the genetic information for the replication of bacterial cells
12 of 17
What is the function of a plasmid?
Possesses genes that may aid the survival of bacteria in adverse conditions, e.g. produce enzymes that break down antibiotics.
13 of 17
What is the average size of a virus?
20-300 nm
14 of 17
What is contained inside a virus?
Nucleic acids, DNA or RNA as genetic material
15 of 17
What is the condition needed for a virus to reproduce?
Needs to be inside a host cell
16 of 17
What is the purpose of attachment proteins?
TO allow the virus to identify and attach to a host cell
