A cell may allow a large or charged chemical to move across the cytoplasmic membrane, down the chemicals electrical and chemical gradients, is a process called
facilitated diffusion

eukaryotic flagella
Which of the following is most associated with diffusion?
carrier proteins
Which of the following is not associated with prokaryotic organisms?
Cilia
Which of the following is true of Svedbergs?
They are an expression of sedimentation rate during high-speed centrifugation.
What are cell walls compose of?
peptidoglycan
a glycocalyx do not?
form pseudopodia for faster mobility of an organism.
Bacterial flagella
are anchored to the cell by a basal body
Which cellular structure is important in classifying a bacterial species as Gram-positive or Gram-negative?
cell wall
A gram-negative cell is moving uric acid across the cytoplasmic membrane against its chemical gradient. What statement is true?
The acid moves by an active process such as active transport.
Gram-positive bacteria
have a thick cell wall which retains crystal violet dye, contain teichoic acids in their cell walls, and appear purple after Gram staining.
Endospores
are dormant, resistant cells.
Inclusions have been found to contain
sulfur globules
Dipicolnic acid is an important component of
endospores
Glycocalyx
"Suugar cup" composed of polysaccharides and/or polypeptides.
Flagella
Long whip
Axial Filaments
Responsible for motility of spirochetes
Cilia
Made of tubulin in eukaryotes
Fimbriae
Bristlelike projections found in quantities if 100 or more.
Pili
Extensions not used for cell motility
Hami
Numerous "grappling-hook" projections
Ribosome
site of protein synthesis
Cytoskeleton
Allows contraction of the cell
Centriole
contains microtubules in "9+0" arrangement
Nucleus
Site of most DNA in eukaryotes
Mitochondrion
Its internal membranes are sites for ATP production.
Chloroplast
Light-harvesting organelle
ER
Functions as the transport system within a eukaryotic cell
Golgi body
Packages large molecules for export from a cell
Peroxisome
Contains enzymes to neutralize hydrogen peroxide.
What is the function of glycocalyces and fimbriae in forming a biofilm?
They adhere cells to one another and inanimate objects and fimbriae attaches the archaea to surfaces
What factors may prevent a molecule from moving across a cell membrane?
size, charge, and polarity
