The three shapes of bacteria.
What are, spherical (cocci), rod-shape (bacilli), and spiral (spirilli).
100
A nonliving strand of genetic material with a protein coat.
What is, a virus.
100
Paramecium and kelp both fall under this kingdom.
What is, kingdom protista.
100
Major component of fungi cell walls.
What is, chitin.
100
Why was it important for us to keep the petri dishes closed during our first bacteria lab experiment? (RIP)
What is, to prevent contamination of bacteria in the air.
200
In prokaryotic structure, why is the capsule important?
What is, to offer a hard, protective layer for the bacteria to travel in and survive in harsh environments.
200
A protein that can cause a viral infection.
What is, a prion.
200
How is a food vacuole formed?
What is, a food vacuole is formed by a process of eating called phagocytosis in which food is pushed toward where the membrane bends. This stretches inward until the food is fully inside, the membrane then can pinch off.
200
Fungi can exhibit three different types of feeding strategies.
What are, saprophytic, mutualistic, and parasitic.
200
Soy sauce, cheese, and dried sausages are all made with this type of fungi.
What is, common mold.
300
Two methods of prokaryotic reproduction.
What are, binary fission and conjugation.
300
Viral infection in which the host cell is destroyed after replication.
What is, the lytic cycle.
300
What are the two purposes of cilia in this organism?
What are, ingestion of food and locomotion.
300
Lichens tell about the health of the environment.
What is, a bioindicator.
300
In the bread mold lab, can you think of a reason more water would prevent/aid the development of a colony?
What is, the humidity of the environment could provide an easier way of reproduction--a more favorable habitat.
400
This type of bacteria does not require light to make their own energy; they can break down inorganic material; they are important for the nitrogen cycle.
What is, chemoautotroph.
400
Viral DNA is integrated into the host DNA; this causes permanent changes to the genes of the host cell.
What is, the lysogenic cycle.
400
The three categories of protists.
What are,
- Animal-like (Protozoa)
- Plant-like (Algae, or Protophyta)
- Fungus-like (Slime Molds and Water Molds)
400
A symbiotic relationship between fungus and plant roots.
What is, mycorrhizae.
400
How do our findings from the bread mold lab influence the way we store food?
What is, (answers will vary) air-tight seal certain foods, store food in the refrigerator, add preservatives to food that stays out and keeps for a long time.
500
Three ways (places) bacteria can be beneficial.
What are, nitrogen fixing bacteria in the soil, healthy microbiome (gut bacteria) in your digestive tract, and bacteria that helps ferment or process food.
500
HIV is a type of virus that uses RNA instead of DNA.
What is, retrovirus.
500
Is this organism a prokaryote or a eukaryote? What evidence is here to tell you?
What is, eukaryote due to the presence of a nucleus.
500
The four categories of fungi.
What are, Chytrids, Common Molds, Sac Fungi, and Club Fungi.
