Bacteria
This bacterial structure is used for attachment and looks like tiny hairs covering the cell
Pili
Viruses must use these in order to make more of themselves, lending to them also being known as "obligate intracellular parasites"
Host cells
This revolutionary medication proves very helpful in combating bacterial infections
Antibiotics
This practice is the study of living things and their vital (important) processes
Biology
The scientific method always begins with this
An observation
Bacteria that are rod-shaped have this word in their scientific names.
Bacilli-
A breakout of viruses from a host cell, wherein the host cell dies, describes this process
Lysis
This is the smallest among the pathogens we discussed in class
Virus
The process of two organisms combining their genetic material to create offspring is known as this
(Sexual) Reproduction
Science is described as _________ due to its nature of continual testing, observation, and revision of what we currently know
A process
This structure provides shape to a bacterial cell & gives it the ability to live in various environments (sometimes referred to 'armor' worn over one's skin)
Cell wall
The instructions for making more viruses are copied in this cycle phase
Replication
A microorganism or small substance that causes and spreads disease is known as this
Pathogen
This structure can be found in the cells of all living things, including eukaryotes and prokaryotes
Cell membrane, genetic material, or cytoplasm
A well-written ________ will start with a description of the factor(s) being changed in an experiment, and then explaining the expected result
Hypothesis
Without limiting factors like space and food, bacteria will continue to grow at this rate
Exponentially
Within this cycle, the viral genetic material will stealthily infiltrate and combine with the host cells' DNA
Lysogenic Cycle
This process can't cure disease, but it can potentially prevent or lessen the symptoms of one
Vaccination/Immunization
Prokaryotic
DAILY DOUBLE!
This factor changes in response to the variable that is manipulated or changed by the scientist in an experiment
Dependent Variable
__________ aureus causes a painful sore throat, and is arranged as a colonial chain of spheres
Streptococcus
Individuals who contracted this virus as a child may become infected again many years later, experiencing much more severe symptoms and possibly nerve damage
This is the most dangerous drawback to using too many antibiotics, or not taking them in full, to fight off the diseases we have focused upon in this unit
Resistance
This series of chemical process transforms food and drink into usable energy, needed for various other functions like breathing or growing
Metabolism
The reading strategy involving creating a plan before reading and careful highlighting/annotation is called this
