Vocabulary
The science dealing with the description, identification, naming, and classifying of organisms
Taxonomy
Naming an organism with its genus and species name
Binomial nomenclature
This is the name for one-celled organisms that live in extreme environments such as hot springs or deep ocean vents.
extremophiles
What 2 general parts make up a virus?
Viruses are comprised of a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid
Bacterial cells that have rod-shaped cells are called this.
bacillus
An organism that feeds on dead matter
Saprophyte
According to taxonomy, these two taxons are used to represent the organisms.
Genus and species
Organisms which live in extreme environments belong to this domain.
Archae
The lytic and lysogenic cycles are similar in this way
Both begin with a virus injecting itself into a cell's DNA or RNA
The shape and colony type of bacteria from the genus Streptococcus
Spherical chains
(coccus=spherical shape; strepto=the colonies form chains)
A thick internal wall, made of several hard layers, produced by the bacterium, that encloses its DNA and other essential parts.
Endospore
What is the order for the taxons of life from most general to most specific
Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
This cycle of viral reproduction destroys the host cell
Lytic cycle
If a sample food is dehydrated, what condition for bacterial growth has been removed?
Moisture
A virus enters a cell, embeds its DNA into the DNA of the host cell and is replicated along with the host cell's DNA
Lysogenic cycle
According to the five-kingdom system, what kingdom contains organisms whose structure is composed of prokaryotic cells?
Monera
This cycle of viral reproduction does not destroy the cell. The virus continues to be replicated along with the DNA of the cell.
Lysogenic cycle
This type of bacteria has a cell wall made of a thin layer of peptidoglycan, has an extra cell membrane, does not readily absorb the purple-blue dye, and becomes stained pink-red.
gram-negative bacteria
A virus enters a cell, hijacks the host cell's DNA replication system, makes copies of itself, and causes the cell to burst releasing more viruses
Lytic Cycle
Two organisms share many similarities. They are both part of this taxonomic level.
Same genus
This stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies against a virus. The immune system "remembers" the virus so that new antibodies are made if the person comes in contact with the virus again.
Vaccine
A bacterium receives a new trait that it did not previously have. However, it did not participate in conjugation. What other ways could it receive the new trait?
Transformation or transduction
