# Definition Sets
1 a polymer of peptide-linked chains of amino sugars; a major component of the bacterial cell wall. 7 sets
2 another name for peptidoglycan 6 sets
3 peptidoglycan 6 sets
4 make up chemically homogeneous cell wall, supplies rigidity that withstands osmotic stress 3 sets
5 a complex polymer that contains two sugar derivatives: n-acetylglucosamine and n-acetylmuramic acid and several amino acids; also referred to as peptidoglycan 2 sets
6 short peptides that cross link the modified sugar polymers in peptidoglycan 2 sets
7 cell wall = peptidoglycan = ? 2 sets
8 ubiquitous component of bacterial cell walls 1 set
9 peptidoglycan responsible for protecting bacterial shape and rigidity forms a sacculus which gives bacteria its shape 1 set
10 a polymer of peptide-linked chains of amino sugars; a major component of the bacterial cell wall. -type of peptidoglycan 1 set
11 wall molecule; synonymous with peptidoglycan. unique to bacteria (archaeal cell walls are similar). consists of glycan molecules cross bridged by peptides. uses d amino acids as opposed to conventional l form -enzymes responsible for making this are often targets for antibiotics 1 set
12 무레인 1 set
13 -polymers composed of amino acids and sugars -murein on the surface of a gram-positive bacterium can absorb a purple dye - the gram stain - hence the term 'gram - positive'. -thick dense layer of murein allows bacteria to survive in environments where the osmotic pressure (pressure on the membrane) is high. this allows the bacteria to live in solutions that have a low or high salt concentration. 1 set
14 glcnac and murnac (beta glycosidic bond) 1 set
15 the cell wall in monerans is made of 1 set
16 aka peotidoglycan -vast polymer consisting of interlocking chains of identical peptidoglycan monomers 1 set
17 specific type of peptidoglycan of bacterial cell walls 1 set
18 a large polymer composed of long chains of alternating n-acetyl-glucosamine and n-acetylmuramic acid residues. the polysaccharide chains are linked to each other through connections between tetrapeptide chains attached to the n-acetylmuramic acids. it provides much of the strength and rigidity possessed by bacterial cell walls. 1 set
19 a carbohydrate that composes e.coli's cell wall 1 set
20 in addition to ----- defining shape, bacteria can have cytoskeletal proteins that can define shape as well. 1 set
21 also called peptidoglycan 1 set
22 another word for the pepdidoglycan layer 1 set
23 a polymer if peptide linked chains of amino sugars, a major component of the bacterial cell wall 1 set
24 a type of peptidoglyan only found in the cell walls of bacteria a polymer of the peptidoglycan subunit 1 set
25 composed of hexose sugars and amino acids with parallel chains linked by short peptides 1 set
26 main component of cell wall (at least in bacterial cell) 1 set
27 gram positive ------ is much thicker, this is what defines the gram stain 1 set
28 _________ is the ubiquitous component of bacterial cell walls that has high tensile strength 1 set
29 old name for peptidoglycan 1 set
30 molekül aus polysacchariden und peptiden, zellwandbestandteil der bakterien 1 set
31 synonym for peptidoglycan 1 set
32 ubiquitous component of bacterial cell walls -unique type of peptidoglycan -composed of chains of alternating subunits of n-acetylglucosamine and n-acetylmuramic acid cross-linked by short tetrapeptide side chains and peptide cross bridges 1 set
