Document Summary

Chemical that can slow or stop the growth of bacteria. Preferentially kill bacteria without harming human or animal host: cell theory. All living things are made of cells. Every new cell comes from the division of a pre-existing cell: cells: Eukaryotic cells: membrane-bound organelles including a nucleus: only eukaryotic cells have : A nucleus: an organelle that contains dna. Covered by a membrane: only prokaryotic cells have : Most prokaryotic cells have a cell wall. Cell wall: rigid structure enclosing cell membrane: antibiotics target prokaryotic cells: Bacterial cell walls are rigid due to peptidoglycan. A polymer made of sugars and amino acids. Allows bacteria to survive in watery environment. Antibiotics can cross prokaryotic cell membrane using transport cells: osmosis: the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower- solute concentration to an area of higher-solute concentration, bacteria cells are either: A) gram-positive: a cell wall with layer of peptidoglycan that retains the gram stain.
