Chapter 2.19, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
Several Archaea and Bacteria possess the ability to travel by swimming. Flagella, small rotating structures, is attached on the surface of the cell in several different locations. Movement by gliding is also observed in several Bacteria, including cyanobacteria (filamentous), myxobacteria (gram-negative bacteria), and species of Flavobacterium and Cytophaga. Often in nature, bacterial and archaeal cells encounter components of chemical and physical agents. These bacterial cells evolved ways to respond to such gradients either by moving away or by moving toward the element.

- Application (8) Long Answer Questions: Answer the following question(s) in complete sentences. 1) In Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (the human form of mad cow disease), the brain rapidly deteriorates due to the build up of prions. Prions are proteins that have mutated into a form that is not water-soluble and that builds up in the brain. They are especially dangerous because they promote the refolding of native proteins. Explain why this refolding could be so detrimental to the cells in the brain, with reference to both structure and function of proteins.
