The protein shell that surrounds and protects the virus's genetic material.
Capsid
Are all bacteria harmful?
Yes or No
No
The process by which bacteria reproduce, splitting into two identical cells.
Binary fission
This lipid membrane layer is found outside the capsid.
Envelope
Bacteria play this crucial role in the ecosystem, breaking down dead organic matter.
Decomposition
What are the different shapes of bacteria
spherical (cocci), rod-shaped (bacilli), and spiral (spirilla)
Complex shape consisting of a head and a tail that let it attach to bacteria.
Tail fibers
This is one of the most common type of bacterial infection, is treated with antibiotics.
Strep throat
A form of bacterial sexual reproduction where DNA is transferred through a pilus.
Conjugation
These hair-like appendages help bacteria attach to surfaces or other cells.
Pili
The virus can carry one of these two types of genetic material.
DNA/RNA
This outer layer, found in many bacteria, prevents the cell from drying out or being engulfed by white blood cells
