Question 3 of 15 What are Gram-positive bacteria? Select the correct response(s): They have a cell wall made-up of a thin layer of peptidoglycan. They retain crystal violet dye and thus are stained pink. They cannot retain crystal violet dye and thus are stained purple. They retain crystal violet dye and thus are stained purple.

O intermediate Question 10 Why are most Gram-negative bacteria resistant to penicillin? O endopsores made by Gram-negative bacteria are resistant to penicillin O the outer membrane of Gram-negative cell wall prevents diffusion of penicillin the waxy cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria prevents diffusion of penicillin Gram-negative bacteria have thick layers of peptidoglycan which prevents diffusion of penicillin Question 11
If bacteria are nonmotile, what can be inferred? Question 3 options: Mimimal number of flagella renders their body nonmotile. They lack motility structure to propel their multicellular body. Absence of flagella deprives them function of locomotion. The flagella at one end of their body make them nonmotile.
Figure 13.6 Which of the following statements is true? a. Gram-positive bacteria have a single cell wall formed from peptidoglycan. b. Gram-positive bacteria have an outer membrane. c. The cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria is thick, and the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is thin. d. Gram-negative bacteria have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, while Gram-positive bacteria have a cell wall made of phospholipids.
Why might clinical medicine have an interest in understanding bacterial cell division at the molecular level? Explain why a hyperthermophile would probably not be a human pathogen. Describe four factors that may have an influence on the effectiveness of an antimicrobial treatment. Explain why 70% or 80% alcohol is more effective than 100% alcohol in controlling microorganisms.
QUESTION 1 Why is heat or a VERY long incubation required to stain Mycobacteria? mycotoxins present in the bacteria break down the stain; heating destroys the mycotoxins allowing the stain to enter the cells. waxy mycolic acids present in the bacteria break down the stain; heat prevents the stain from breaking down. waxy mycolic acids present in the bacterial cell walls prevent the stain from entering at room temperature; when heated, some stain is able to penetrate the cells. mycotoxins in the bacteria prevent the stain from entering the cells; heating inactivates the mycotoxins QUESTION 2 Micrococcus luteus was used as a negative control in an acid fast staining procedure - what does it mean to be a negative control? THERE ARE 2 CORRECT ANSWERS O Negative control bacteria are NOT expected to stain with acid fuschin. Negative control bacteria are expected to stain. Negative control bacteria are expected to stain only when heated. A heat-fixed smear of negative control bacteria is an…
