Protists
All protists belong to this group of cells with a true nucleus.
What is Eukaryotes?
This shape describes bacteria that are round in form.
What is Cocci?
These hair-like structures on some protists help them move rapidly.
What is Cilia?
Which illness-causing agent is unique because it exists only inside living cells?
What is a virus?
This prokaryote shape is spiral in form.
What us Spirilla
This group of protists is unicellular, has a cell wall, and feeds externally.
What are Fungus-like protists
This domain includes organisms that thrive in extreme conditions
What is Archea?
This whip-like structure helps bacteria move in their environment.
What is the Flagellum
This virus structure acts as a protective covering for its genetic material.
What is the protein coat?
This viral infection stage integrates viral DNA into the host cell’s DNA.
What is Lysogenic cycle?
Unlike plant-like protists, animal-like protists do not have a
What is cell wall?
This group of protists is known for being photosynthetic autotrophs with cell walls.
What us plant-like protists (algae)
This bacterial structure helps survive extreme conditions.
What is Endospores?
Viruses are known as obligate intracellular parasites because they require this to reproduce.
What is a host cell?
This small photosynthetic organism is a major oxygen producer in aquatic systems.
What is Phytoplankton
This kingdom includes typical bacteria that are not classified as extremophiles.
What is Eubacteria?
This process describes asexual reproduction in bacteria where one cell splits into two.
What is Binary fission?
Viruses are much smaller than cells because they lack this entire cell component.
What is cytoplasm?
This stage of a viral infection causes rapid destruction and release of new viruses from the host cell.
What is the Lytic Cycle
This type of bacteria performs photosynthesis to produce oxygen.
What is Cyanobacteria?
Animal-like protists obtain food by engulfing particles in a process called
What is phagocytosis?
This organelle is missing from prokaryotic cells like bacteria and archaea.
What is a nucleus?
This outer structure, made mainly of peptidoglycan, gives bacteria shape and protection.
What is a cell wall?
This characteristic of life is missing in viruses.
What is Metabolism
Unique lipids in archaeal membranes help them survive in ______ conditions.
What us extreme?
