  • What does morphology not predict?

    Physiology, ecology, phylogeny etc
  • What selectieve forces are involved in maintaining morphology?

    Swimming motility, gliding motility and optmization of nutrient uptake
  • What is the function of the cytoplasmic membrane?

    It is a permeability barrier, protein anchor and helps in energy conservation
  • What kind of proteins does the outer surface of the cytoplasmic membrane interact with?

    Proteins that bind substrates or process large molecules for transport
  • What kind of proteins does the inner surface of the cytoplasmic membrane interact with?

    Proteins involved in energy-yielding reactions and other important cellular functions
  • What do bacteria use active transport for?

    To accumulate nutrients from a low external concentration against a concentration gradient
  • What are ATP-binding cassete (ABC) transporters?

    ATP drives the uptake and it requires transmembrane and ATP-hydrolyzing proteins
  • How does SEM work?

    The scattered electrons that bounce back atfer scanning with an electron beam, are collected by a detector and an image is produced

  • What is the function of anammox?

    It removes fixed nitrogen in the form of ammonium from the ocean
  • What unique metabolism intermediate do anammox bacteria make?

    Hydrazine (HZS)
