ANSWERS 2024 UPDATE
Advances in microscopy reveal that bacteria have what? - ✔✔✔ ANSWER
compartments
aerotolerant anaerobes - ✔✔✔ ANSWER tolerate but do not use oxygen
anaerobic respiration produces - ✔✔✔ ANSWER less ATP
-less free energy is released
Antibiotic resistance mechanisms - ✔✔✔ ANSWER efflux pumps- pump out the
antibiotic
prevent entry- modify membrane
degradative enzymes- destroy the antibiotic
interfering molecules bind to antibiotic- antibiotic cannot identify target
enzymes modify the antibiotic- add or remove functional groups
alter the antibiotic binding site- antibiotic can no longer bind
