Eukaryotic Micro-organisms
All fungi will use this asexual reproduction in some form
What is mitosis
The study of fungi
What is mycology
Suspicion that microorganisms cause not only spoilage and decay but also infectious disease
The basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms
What is a cell
This bacteria obtains carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide
These parasites are not microbes, however, the production of their offspring and their offspring itself are
What is a helminth
Life develops from nonliving matter
What is abiogenesis
This chemical reaction requires H2O and breaks down polymers into monomers
What is hydrolysis
Biofilms provide the ideal environment for this type of exchange
What is plasmid exchange
This bacteria's optimal growth is in moderate temperatures and their habitat consists of soil, the human body, and animals
What are mesophiles
Fungal characteristics vary. They come in various shapes and forms. A common characteristic though is that they all have a cell wall composed of this
What is chitin
The conversion of light energy into chemical energy
What is photosynthesis
These substances release hydroxyl ions and have a low hydrogen ion concentration of a solution
What is a base/basic solution
This structure carries an anticodon on one end and the correlating amino acid on the other end
What is tRNA
These bacteria grow only in the absence of oxygen
What are obligate anaerobes
This type of fungi develops hyphae that develop characteristic culture
What is mold
These ions attract polar water molecules
What are hydration spheres
This appendage can propel bacteria clockwise or counterclockwise
What is flagella
This type of transport's carriers are transmembrane proteins and they carry ions or molecules to the other side of the membrane
What is pump transport
This is defined as a group of bacteria that exhibit a large number of similar characteristics
What is a bacterial species
These unicellular eukaryotes lack a cell wall. Many of them are free living; others are potential parasites
What is a protozoan
The monomers of nucleic acids
Unicellular organisms use this to eliminate waste products
What is exocytosis
A membrane-bound compartment used by the cell in the organization of metabolism, in transport, for enzyme storage, and as a chamber for chemical reactions
What are vesicles
The complete set of genetic information in an organism is this
What is a genome
