Bacteria
How are prokaryotes identified?
Scientists identify them by their shape, cell wall, the way they move and obtain energy, and they don’t have a true nucleus
How do viruses reproduce?
They infect living cells
What are protists?
Eukaryotic (has a true nucleus) can be animal like (consumers) or plant like (producers)
What is chitin?
a hard-like substance that makes up cell walls of a fungi
What is a pseudopod?
a fake foot
What is the function of the flagella?
To propel some bacteria/for movement
Compare a lytic to a lysogenic infection
LYTIC- virus enters a cell, makes copies of itself, then the cell bursts releasing the copies
LYSOGENIC- virus enters DNA of a cell, and takes over the DNA so that it reproduces with the cell DNA
how do different protists move in their enviroment?
flagella, cilia, or a pseudopod
Explain the structure of the body of a typical fungus.
HYPHAE- base cells
MYCILIUM- a bunch of hyphae working together to connect the fungus to a host
CHITIN- see above
What are flagella?
long hair-like things to help propel a cell
What is binary fission?
A process that involves only ONE parent that divides into TWO identical cells
What is a retrovirus?
a virus that contains RNA that produces a DNA copy of their RNA upon infecting a cell (starts at RNA then produces DNA)
identify the characteristics of fungi
they produce spores and are decomposers (break things down)
identify characteristics of club fungi
produces spores in club-like structure
What are cilia?
short hair-like things to help move a cell
