What is one way that the bacterial plasma membrane, and the bacterial cell wall, are functionally similar? And what is one way that the bacterial plasma membrane, and the bacterial cell wall, are functionally different?
Explain osmotic balance in cells. What happens to a cell that is placed in a hypotonic solution, hypertonic solution, or isotonic solution? What is special about the maintenance of osmotic balance in halophiles that would allow them to survive in high salt concentrations? What is the natural habitat of archaea species Halobacterium salinarum?
What kinds of work are carried out in a cell? Suppose a bacterium was doing the following: synthesizing peptidoglycan, rotating its flagellum and swimming, and secreting siderophores. What type of work is the bacterium doing in each case?
