Parts of a Bacterium
This is the whip-like propeller that moves a bacterium around
Flagellum
The main way to reduce bacterial infection from happening
hand washing
A virus only has these two parts
Capsid and Nucleic Acid (RNA)
The human body has around this many bacteria in it
Billions to trillions
These are formed to protect bacteria from cold, heat, or other dangers
Endospores
These types of bacteria like to live in extreme environments
Archaebacteria
These are the main reasons why a virus is not considered a living thing
cannot reproduce (without a host) and is not made of cells
Of the organisms we learned in this chapter, these are the ones that are used in gene therapy
Virus
Creates proteins for the bacterium
Ribosomes
The two types of prokaryotes from this chapter
Bacteria (Eubacteria) and Archaebacteria
A virus that waits and remains hidden for months or years to activate
Latent virus
The name for bacterial reproduction
Binary Fission
The part of the bacteria that helps keep it from drying out
Capsule
Give three out of the five ways in which bacteria help us and the environment
help with digestion, let animals (ruminants) digest cellulose, fix nitrogen, decompose dead animals, help us make food
Infect a host and have that host make new virus' for it.
When bacteria share plasmids in order to gain immunities
Conjugation
A bacterium's DNA is located in it's _____
Cytosol
This would be the correct order of what happens in bacterial reproduction (4 Parts)
One bacterium, DNA replicates, Cell pinches in two, two bacteria
Based on what we know about a virus, which kingdom should it be classified under
None
Archaebacteria are missing a specific molecule in their cell wall: Peptido______
Peptidoglycan
