Cut a 7-inch-diameter circle out of card stock. Draw a spiral on the circle as shown. Next, use the scissors to cut along the lines you drew starting on the outside and ending in the center. Use the hole punch or scissors to make a hole at the middle of the spiral and attach the thread with a knot. Tie the other end of the thread loosely around the center of the stick so you can suspend the spiral in the air. Fill the pot with 2 inches of water. Heat the water until it boils, and then turn off the heat source. Let the pot sit for 4 minutes. Holding the ends of the stick with the spiral attached, position the bottom of the spiral right above the top of the pot so it’s not touching the water. Describe what happens.

With the description of the different cell walls, membranes, and associated proteins set in the students' minds, you now need to introduce them to the idea that the cell wall can also act as a foundation to build things upon. bacterial appendages require a strong foundation that will offer the support needed to move and function in a dynamic world. for example, flagella are long, whiplike protein structures that are used by many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria for locomotion. in order to function effectively, a flagellum must be firmly anchored to the cell wall. how will you be able to get across the idea that the peptidoglycan cell wall is strong enough to support such a mechanism? with a protein rod that passes through the cell wall and protein rings used to anchor it in the membranes, these basal bodies are the rudimentary biological motors that use atp power to spin the hook and the flagella attached to it. bacterial flagella have a biological motor that spins within the cell wall and is powered by atp. this allows the flagella to spin in a whiplike motion to propel the bacterium.
