Intro/Viruses
This is one of the reasons most scientists don't consider viruses to be living things.
What is incapable of reproduction OR no ATP generation OR no ribosomes OR no protein synthesis enzymes?
This is the name for the way bacteria reproduce.
What is binary fission?
This is the name of the theory that explains the evolution of Protists/the origination of Eukaryotes.
What is Endosymbiosis OR Endosymbiotic Theory?
This is the name for the body of a multicellular fungus.
What is mycelium?
This is the process by which the gametophytes of green algae produce gametes.
What is Mitosis?
This is the level of classification smaller than an Order, but larger than a Genus.
What is a Family.
This is the name for the group of Archaea that live in very hot environments.
What are thermophiles?
This is the type of nucleus that protists use for transcription.
What is a macronucleus?
Lichens are symbiotic relationships between these two types of organisms.
What are fungi and algae OR fungi and cyanobacteria?
This is the name of the monophyletic group that includes red algae, green algae, and land plants.
What is Archaeplastida?
This is what a virus that is outside its host cell is known as.
What is a virion?
This is the movement of a bacteria either towards or away from a chemical stimulus.
What is chemotaxis?
This is the Excavate that causes "backpacker's diarrhea".
What is Giardia?
This is the name of the process in which the cytoplasm from two fungi fuse to create a heterokaryotic fungus.
What is plasmogamy?
This is the group of green algae that includes desmids and ulva.
What is Chlorophyta?
This is a group of organisms in a phylogeny that includes a common ancestor and SOME of its descendants.
What is a Paraphyletic Group?
This is the name of the kind of bacteria that have membranes both inside and outside their cell walls.
What are gram negative bacteria?
This are the group of Protists that are responsible for about 20% of the earth's total photosynthesis.
What are Diatoms?
This is the name for the group of fungi that can grow as either filamentous hyphae or as cellular yeasts?
What is dimorphic?
This is the human food additive found in Red Algae.
What is Carrageenan?
This is the part of the viral cycle that involves the viral genome spreading from host cell to host cell.
What is the Lysogenic Cycle?
Name 3 of the 6 characteristics that Archaea share with Eukarya.
What are peptidoglycans absent from cell wall OR several kinds of RNA polymerase OR Methionine as start codon OR introns present in genes OR resistant to streptomycin and chloramphenicol OR histones present in DNA?
This is the chemical found in many human foods that is harvested from brown algae.
What is algin?
This is the name for molds and yeasts with no know sexual reproductive stage.
What is deuteromycetes?
This is the name of the channels between the cells of multicellular green algae that allow them to communicate with each other.
What are plasmodesmata?
