What do parasites need to survive?
A host
200
What are the 3 main shapes bacteria come in?
Sphere shape, rod-like, and spiral.
200
What are characteristics of animal-like protists
They are heterotrophs and they move around.
200
What are hyphae?
Small threadlike structures that make up the body of a fungus.
200
What are vaccines?
Vaccines are made from weakened or dead forms of a virus. They are injected into our bodies to protect us.
300
Why are viruses considered non-living?
They are not cells, can't reproduce on their own, and don't require food.

What is the whip-like structure that bacteria cells use for movement?
A flagellum.

What are algae?
Plant like protists that are autotrophs and reproduce through spores.

How do fungi absorb their food?
They absorb it by growing around it.

What are the two basic parts that all viruses have?
An outer protein coat and genetic material.

What is the danger of water mold and what does it attack?
Water mold contaminates our food and destroys buildings.
400
What are the 3 major groups of fungi? How are they named?
Club, sac, and zygote. They are named because of how they look.
400
What is an endospore?
Tough barriers that bacteria form around their DNA to survive extreme conditions.
500
What is gene therapy?
Scientists can use a virus to transport genetic material that they want a cell to have like a messenger service.
500
Which type of bacteria reproduction results in an increase in cells?
Binary Fission

What are plant-like protists most important for?
They are a food source for many organisms and provide oxygen for us to breathe.
500
Explain what a plant-fungi relationship is.
Fungus can grow around plant roots and help them take in nutrients.
500
How do fungi reproduce?
By spreading spores to travel through wind and water.
