Step 1
When gram-negative bacteria die, they release lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from their outer membrane, which can cause inflammation and fever. LPS is also known as endotoxin. Show more…

Many antibiotics kill bacteria by bursting the their cell walls. Once burst, bacterial pathogens will release cell debris into the blood. Which of the following bacterial component will be least likely to cause an immune reaction? Cell wall Outer membrane flagellum Ribosome

In a Gram-negative organism, small molecules move into the periplasm from outside of the cell by passing through porins diffusing freely through the peptidoglycan layer attaching to lipid A endocytosis

An unknown antigen/bacterium has entered your body. One of your immune cells performs phagocytosis on the whole thing. While inside the cell, lysosomes bind to the membrane and destroy it, saving that cell from an untimely death. Once again, lysosomes have saved the day. What are 5 different things/characteristics found in a lysosome and what do they do? What is the process/pathway lysosomes use to bind and empty their contents into vesicles to destroy the vesicles' contents? Draw a diagram for this.
