Document Summary
Shapes of bacteria (based on the cell wall"s shape) Coccus: spherical (think of the o in the middle) Hyphae: chains of bacterial cells (usually found in soil bacteria of actinomycete). Cont in between the chains to allow the transfer of molecules between the cells. Trichomes: smooth unbranched chains of cyanobacteria with a polysaccharide shea a passageway in between the chains to allow the transfer of molecules between the c. Module 2. 2 + 2. 3: unique organelles in the bacteria. Nucleoid: single strand of dna all coiled up, containing rna and proteins st well. The single strand of dna is in itself too long, thus it has helpers: Mg+, k+ and na+ ions shield the negative charge on the sugar phos. Proteins attach to the chromosome to keep it inside the boundary of t. Inclusion bodies: stores of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus ete).
