Compare and contrast the CELL MEMBRANE of
gram-positive and gram-negative cells.Be sure to include function,
structure, and characteristiques in your answer.
For
each type of cell wall in bacteria (gram positive vs. gram negative
) describe the unique components present in each and list how each
layer of the cell wall is connected together ( what molecules
accomplish this)?
Explain the composition of the bacterial cell envelope including
plasma membrane (Gram-&+), cell wall (Gram-&+) and outer
membrane (only Gram-) as well as their individual components.
Compare Gram+ and Gram- with regards to differences &
similarities.
Describe the difference between gram-positive and gram-negative
bacterial cell walls. Explain which stains bind to gram positive
and which ones bind to gram negative cells. Which of these bacteria
is more susceptible to antibiotics and why?
Cholesterol is a fatty substance that is an important part of
the outer lining (membrane) of cells in the body of animals. Its
normal range for an adult is 120–240 mg/dl. The Food and Nutrition
Institute of the Philippines found that the total cholesterol level
for Filipino adults has a mean of 159.2 mg/dl and 84.1% of adults
have a cholesterol level less than 200 mg/dl
(http://www.fnri.dost.gov.ph/). Suppose that the total cholesterol
level is normally distributed. (a) Determine the standard...
describe the function of ONE component if a cell
membrane, how its shape is important for this role, how the
functional groups and intermolecular forces of attraction
contribute to its shape. 6 marks
