Made of a polysaccharide layer called glycocalyx
-
Water soluble
-
Fat soluble

Question 14
Question
Which describes chemotaxis?
Answer
-
organism vibrates due to molecules hitting the cell
-
directional; independent movement over greater distances
-
movement towards chemical attractants and away from repellants
Question 15
Question
Which describes lophotrichous flagella?
Answer
-
flagella on both ends
-
flagella around perimeter of bacteria
-
a single flagella at one end
-
a tuft of flagella at one end
Question 16
Question
The motility test media is 0.4-0.5% agar and contains TTC (2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride)
Question 17
Question
Disadvantages of the motility test:
Answer
-
can be used to test for motility of pathogenic organisms
-
requires incubation time
-
if not performed properly, non-motile organisms appear motile
Question 18
Question
TTC is colorless when [blank_start]oxidized[blank_end] and red when [blank_start]reduced[blank_end].
Question 19
Question
Escherichia coli is motile and Staphylococcus epidermidis is non-motile.
