Q

lytic VS lysogenic

A

lytic
virus replicates quickly and destroys the host cell
lysogenic
provirus DNA attaches to the chromosome to replicate and pass through generations without harming the host cell
activated by nutrient changes to cause the lytic cycle

Q

bacteria characteristics

A

unicellular
prokaryotic
no membrane around organelles
reproduce asexually

19
Q

clumped circular bacteria

A

staphylococci

22
Q

extremophiles and mesophiles

A

extremophiles
able to live in extreme conditions
mesophile
able to live in moderate conditions

23
Q

3 types of extremophiles

A

thermophiles
able to live in extreme heat
acidophiles
can live in acidic conditions
halophiles
live in extremely salty water

24
Q

binary fission

A

copy the chromosomes
cell elongates
cell build septum between them splits into 2 identical cells

25
conjunction and plasmids
one cell links to another through pusil genetic info is exchanged binary fission occurs
26
gram + gram -
gram + thick protein layer on the cell wall stains purple gram - thin protein layer on the cell wall stains pink
27
hetrothroph VS autotroph
heterotroph consumes other organisms autotroph produces its food
28
animal-like
consumes other organisms for food contain digesting vacuoles some can be parasites
29
fungi-like
absorbs nutrients from other organisms living or dead
30
plant-like
makes food by photosynthesis consumes others if there is no light
31
parasitic
absorbs nutrients from host living cells
32
mutualists
gets nutrients from beneficial partnerships
33
structure of fungi
hyphae packed together branch out into mycelia that help absorb nutrients
34
fruiting body
spores producing reproductive structure in fungi
35
hyphae
multicellular thread
36
predatory
mycelia can trap prey
37
seprobial
feed on dead organisms and organic waste
38
fungi's impact on humans
helps suppress the immune system from rejecting transplanted organs can deform potatoes so they can't be sold
39
characteristics of animal kingdoms
eukaryotic heterotrophs they can move around and reproduce sexually
40
radical symmetry
body plan that dived through the central axis into to roughly equal haves
41
bilateral symmetry
body plan that dived through the central axis into to equal haves
42
internal fertilization
egg and sperm are combined in the females
43
external fertilization
gametes are combined outside of the body
