Morphology typically doesn't affect other various properties but it could affect things like nutrient/ion uptake and movement abilities

Their surface-to-volume ratio increases as they get smaller

Glycerol is facing outwards on either side of the membrane while the hydrophobic portions are facing inwards

Some compounds are just flat out too big to diffuse through the membrane and various nutrients that have a certain charge associated with them can't be passed through the membrane either

It degrades the bond between the N-acetylmuramic with the fourth carbon of N-acetylglucosamine which essentially destroys the cell wall

LPS consists of the core polysaccharide and O-polysaccharide

The ABCTS is a membrane transport system consisting of three proteins, one of which hydrolyzes ATP, which transports specific nutrients into the cell

The basal body is the "motor" portion of the bacterial flagellumm, embedded in the cytoplasmic membrane and wall

A capsule is a polysaccharide or protein outermost layer, usually rather slimy, present on some bacteria

Chemotaxis is the directed movement of an organism toward (positive chemotaxis) or away from (negative chemotaxis) a chemical gradient

Dipicolinic acid is a substance unique to endospores that confers heat resistance on these structures

An endospore is a highly heat resistant, thick-walled, differentiated structure produced by certain gram+ bacteria

A flagellum is a long, thin cellular appendage capable of rotation and is responsible for swimming motility in prokaryotic cells

Gas vesicles are gas-filled cytoplasmic structures bounded by protein which confer buoyancy on cells

Gram- bacteria are prokaryotic cells whose cell wall contains small amounts of peptidoglycan, and an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides, lipoproteins and other complex macromolecules

Gram+ bacteria are prokaryotic cells whose cell walls consist chiefly of peptidoglycan and lacks the outer membrane of gram- bacteria

A gram stain is a differential stain technique that stains cells either purple (Gram+) or pink (Gram-)

Group translocation is an energy-dependent transport system in which the substance transported is chemically modified during the transport process

A lipopolysaccharide is a combination of lipid with polsaccharide and protein that forms the major portion of the outer membrane in gram- bacteria

A magnetosome is a particle of magnetite (Fe₃O₄) organized into a nonunit membrane-enclosed structure in the cytoplasm of magnetotatic bacteria

Morphology is the shape of a cell

The outer membrane is a phospholipid and polysaccharide-containing unit membrane that lies external to the peptidoglycan layer in cells of gram- bacteria

Peptidoglycan is a polysaccharide composed of alternating repeats of N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid arranged in adjacent layers and cross-linked by short peptides

The periplasm is a gel-like region between the outer surface of the cytoplasmic membrane and the inner surface of the lipopolysaccharide layer of gram- bacteria

Peritrichous flagellation  consists of flagella located in many places around the surface of the cell

Phototaxis is the movement of an organism toward light

Pili are thin, filamentous structures that extend from the surface of a cell and, depending on type, facilitate cell attachment, genetic enchange or twitching motility (depending on specific function)

Polar flagellations are organisms which have flagella which eminate from one of both poles of the cell

PHB is a common storage material of prokaryotic cells consisting of a polymer of (beta)-hydroxybutyrate or another (beta)-alkanoid acid or mixtures of (beta)-alkanoic cells

The protoplast is an osmotically protected cell whose cell wall has been removed

The S layer is an outermost cell surface layer composed of protein or glycoprotein present on some bacteria and archaea

A simple transport system is a transporter that consists of only a membrane-spanning protein and typically driven by energy from the proton motive force

Sterol is a hydrophobic heterocyclic ringed molecule that strengthens the cytoplasmic membrane of eukaryotic cells and a few prokaryotes

Teichoic acid is a phosphorylated polyalcohol found in the cell wall of some gram+ bacteria
