Bacteria
Across
- 1. dormant and highly resistant bacterial survival structures
- 3. single-celled prokaryotic organisms lacking a true nucleus
- 5. movement of a cell toward or away from a chemical stimulus
- 6. an outer protective layer that enhances bacterial survival and virulence
- 8. acids cell wall polymers found in gram-positive bacteria
- 12. longer appendages involved in genetic exchange between bacteria
- 13. a rod-shaped bacterial cell
- 15. a spherical-shaped bacterial cell
- 18. having flagella at both ends of the cell
- 19. having a single flagellum at one end of the cell
- 20. a spiral-shaped bacterial cell
Down
- 2. cocci arranged in grape-like clusters
- 4. small circular DNA molecules independent of the bacterial chromosome
- 7. having a cluster of flagella at one pole of the cell
- 9. a rigid polymer forming the main component of bacterial cell walls
- 10. cocci arranged in pairs
- 11. cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis
- 14. having flagella distributed over the entire cell surface
- 16. prokaryotic organisms distinct from bacteria in genetics and metabolism
- 17. short hair-like structures used for attachment to surfaces
