Unity of Life
The most basic structural and functional unit of all organisms.
What is a cell?
Any discrete, membrane-bound structure within a cell that has a characteristic structure and function.
What is an organelle?
A type of bacteria that looks pink when treated with a Gram stain. These bacteria have a cell wall composed of a thin layer of peptidoglycan and an outer phospholipid.
What is Gram-negative bacteria?
A nitrogenous base that bonds with the nitrogenous base of thymine (T).
What is adenine?
The accepted model of DNA replication wherein DNA is unwound by helicase and replication occurs separately on each template strand.
What is semiconservative model?
This theory states that all living things are made up of at least one cell and that all cells come from other cells.
What is Cell Theory?
This eukaryotic kingdom is multicellular and contains chloroplasts.
What is plant?
A lineage of photosynthetic bacteria that gave rise to the chloroplast.
What is cyanobacteria?
A type of bond that links together the nitrogenous bases of a DNA molecule.
What is hydrogen bond?
An enzyme that catalyzes synthesis of DNA and requires a template strand, a primer, and deoxynucleotide triphosphates.
What is DNA polymerase?
The primary genetic material of a cell that stores the hereditary information of an organism.
What is DNA?
Unicellular fungi.
What is a yeast?
This type of archaea lives in high-temperature and low-pH environments.
What is a thermoacidophile?
What is phosphodiester bond?
Any close and prolonged physical relationship that is mutually beneficial between individuals of two different species.
What is symbiosis?
Tiny "organelles" that exist in all cells and specialize in protein synthesis.
What is ribosomes?
A eukaryotic phylum that is most closely related to echinoderms (according to the drawn phylogenetic tree).

What is chordates?
This type of archaea produces methane as a metabolic byproduct.
What is a methanogen?
A model of DNA replication wherein DNA breaks apart in a random fashion and the two daughter DNAs have alternating segments of both parental and daughter DNA on both strands.
What is dispersive model?
An association between species in which one lives inside the cell or cells of the other.
What is endosymbiosis?
The process of making RNA from DNA.
What is transcription?
A multicellular organism that generally contains tissue and is able to initiate movement.
What is an animal?
A protective layer outside the cell wall of some bacteria.
What is a capsule?
The number of hydrogen bonds that a guanine-cytosine base pair exhibits.
What is 3?
A small, usually circular, supercoiled DNA molecule independent of the cell's main chromosome in prokaryotes.
What is a plasmid?
