What is bacteria
It is formed to help to survive in harsh conditions. They are made up of thick, protective coating, the bacteria genetic materail, and cytoplasm.
What are endospores
virus enters the cell and when the virus genetic materialis injected into a cell then they take over the host cell the host cell replicates the viral DNA they make new protein parts for the virus the viruses burst out of the host cell then the it kills the host cell then when the genes become active they begin the cycle all over again and make new copies of the virus.
What is a lytic cycle
domain of prokaryotes that are genetically very different from bacteria and that have unique chemicals in their cell walls.
What is archae
reproduction in which one single celled organisms splits into two single celled organisms.
What is Binary Fission
kills the host cell
What is lysis?
they get their nutrients by feeding on other organisms.
What is a consumer
plasmid is transferred from one bacterium to another when the two bacteria temporarily join together.
What is Conjugation?
feed on dead organisms
What is a decomposer
