Exam 2: Bacterial Genetics Metabolism and Structure

A pathway that generates ATP by substrate level phosphorylation that does not require oxygen and produces various end products, including alcohols, acids, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen, is

The term used when oxidative phosphorylation uses final electron acceptors other than oxygen is

The mechanism of genetic control in which genes are induced only when the substrate to be degraded by enzymatic action is present is called

In gene regulation and control, repression is defined as

Pieces of DNA that move from one genetic element to another and contain genes for movement as well as genes for other features are called

Mutation is defined as

An internal change in the original nucleotide sequence of a gene or genes within an organism's genome is known as

The mechanism of genetic control in which genes are not transcribed and therefore are not expressed in the presence of those target products in sufficient supply is called

In gene regulation and control, induction can be defined as

Teichoic acids, mycolic acids, peptidoglycan, and disaccharide-pentapeptide subunits are all building blocks of which bacterial structure?

Pieces of DNA that move from plasmid to chromosome or vice versa but are not found as separate entities are called

The mechanism for ATP production in which high-energy phosphate bonds produced by the central metabolic pathways are donated to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to form ATP is

The uptake of free DNA from the environment and recombination with the recipient's homologous DNA is known as

Transformation is defined as

Recombination is defined as

A DNA sequence that encodes for a specific product (RNA or protein) is defined as a

The term used when oxidative phosphorylation uses oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor is

The major difference between the cell walls of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria is that

Genetic change in bacteria is accomplished by

Teichoic acids are
