Chapter 27 - ProkaryotesStructural features:Nearly all have a cell wall

Chapter 27 - ProkaryotesStructural features:Nearly all have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan rather than cellulose or chitin.

Chapter 27 - ProkaryotesStructural features:Bacteria stick to their substrates or

to one another with fimbriae and pili.

Chapter 27 - ProkaryotesStructural features:

Taxis

Chapter 27 - ProkaryotesStructural features:

Taxis is movement toward or away from a stimulus

Chapter 27 - ProkaryotesStructural features:

Taxis is movement toward or away from a stimulus.

Bacteria move with flagella.

Chapter 27 - ProkaryotesStructural features:Bacteria have

infoldings of the cell membrane, like mitochondrial christae or the thylakoid membranes.

Chapter 27 - ProkaryotesStructural features:

The bacterial chromosome is a single loop concentrated in the nucleoid region.

Chapter 27 - ProkaryotesStructural features:

Bacteria can survive harsh conditions for long periods by producing endospores.

Chapter 27 - ProkaryotesPathogens:

Chapter 27 - ProkaryotesPathogens:•Exotoxins

•Endotoxins

Chapter 27 - ProkaryotesPathogens:•Exotoxins• Cholera bacteria secrete chloride

ions into the gut. •Endotoxins • Lipopolysacccharides in the outer

membrane become toxic when Gram negative bacteria die and breaks down.
