Document Summary

Bacterial cell structure: components, capsule, cell wall, plasma membrane, appendages, pilli, flagella, dna and plasmids. 2 layers, forming a structure called a phospholipid bilayer. Dna to be transferred between them in conjugation: type iv pili, help bacteria move around. Bacterial flagella: = the most common appendages used for getting around are flagella (singular: flagellum, tail-like structures whip around like propellers to move cells through their environment, different possible arrangement. Archaea belong to a group distinct from bacteria. Archaea: archaea are considerably more diverse in their composition of their cell walls. Some don"t contain peptidoglycan (unlike bacteria and eukaryotes); instead the outside of the membrane is covered with proteins, glycoprotein"s, or polysaccharides (refer to as s- layers) Bacterial rna polymerase is relatively simple, containing 5 different proteins. Rna polymerase from methanogens and halophiles (both archaea) contains 8 proteins. In hyperthermophiles archaea, rna polymerase is even more complex, containing 10 proteins.
