Viruses
Viruses are composed of nucleic acid and this protein coat.
What is a capsid?
The four main bacterial shapes.
What are cocci, bacilli, spirillum, and vibrio?
Unlike fungi, plants have these in their cells for photosynthesis.
What are chloroplasts?
True or False: Fungi have chloroplasts.
What is false?
The group of animals with backbones are called this.
What are vertebrates?
Viral replication cycle that ends with cell lysis and release of new viruses.
What is the lytic cycle?
The two types of bacterial reproduction.
What are binary fission and conjugation?
Plants are considered this, because they make their own food using sunlight.
What are autotrophs?
This is the process by which fungi obtain nutrients by breaking down dead organic matter.
What is decomposition?
hese are the simplest animals, with no true tissues and asymmetrical bodies.
What are sponges (Porifera)?
Viral cycle where viral DNA integrates into the host genome.
What is the lysogenic cycle?
Bacteria can be aerobic, anaerobic, or this flexible type
What is facultative anaerobic?
This group of plants reproduces with spores instead of seeds.
What are ferns?
This group of fungi includes yeasts, truffles, and mildews.
What are Ascomycetes
Animals that eat both plants and animals are called this.
What are omnivores
Unlike living organisms, viruses lack these building blocks of life.
What are cells (and organelles)?
Name three useful roles of bacteria for humans.
What are food production, water treatment, oil spill cleanup, genetic engineering, or vitamin production ?
This tissue transports water from a plant’s roots to its leaves.
What is xylem?
A partnership of fungi and algae that serves as an indicator of ecosystem health.
What are lichens
Vertebrates belong to this phylum, which includes animals with backbones
What is Chordata?
Viruses cannot reproduce alone because they require this.
What is a host cell?
Most eubacteria are heterotrophs, while archaea are usually this type of autotroph.
:What is chemoautotroph?
These flowering plants produce fruits to protect their seeds.
What are angiosperms?
Mushrooms belong to this phylum and are recognized by their spore-producing gills.
What is Basidiomycota?
This phylum includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
What is Arthropoda?
