A hypothesis that has been tested with a significant amount of data
What is a THEORY?
Unicellular, prokaryotic organisms which can live in extreme conditions.
What are organisms in DOMAIN ARCHAEA, Kingdom MONERA?
The Kingdoms of the Five Kingdom System.
What are MONERA, PROTISTA, FUNGI, PLANTAE, ANIMALIA?
What is ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION?
What is the outer layer of a bacterium which is made of sticky sugars.
Population growth that is controlled by limited resources.
What is LOGISTIC GROWTH?
Ekaryotic, uni-celluar or multi-cellular organisms that are autotrophs.
What is organisms from KINGDOM PROTISTA.
The three domains of the Three Domain System.
What are ARCHAEA, BACTERIA, EUKARYA?
DNA is copied.
What is the first step in BINARY FISSION?
Holds the contents of the bacterium together, regulates the amount of water that the bacterium can absorb, and holds the cell into one of three basci shapes.
What is the CELL WALL?
A unit of one or more populations of individuals that can reproduce under normal conditions, produce fertile offspring and are reproductively isolated from other such units.
What is a SPECIES?
Eukaryotic, multi-cellular organisms that are decomposers.
What are organisms from KINGDOM FUNGI?
A revised theory of spontaneous generation.
What is ABIOGENESIS?
Cell wall elongates and two strands of DNA start to separate.
What is the 2nd step in BINARY FISSION?
Protects the interior of the cell by sensing the nature of the chemicals in the surroundings and then determining whether or not these chemicals can enter the cell.
What is the PLASMA MEMBRANE
An abrupt or marked change in the DNA of an organism as compared to that of its parents.
What is a MUTATION?
Eukaryotic, multi-cellular organisms that are autotrophic.
What are organisms from KINGDOM PLANTAE?
The main category and its sub-categories in the Five Kingdom Classifying system or the Three Domain Classifying system.
What are KINGDOM, PHYLUM, CLASS, ORDER, FAMILY, GENUS, SPECIES?
Conjugation
When a prokaryotic cell stains BLUE.
What is GRAM-POSITIVE?
A small, circular section of extra DNA that confers one or more traits to a bacterium and can be reproduced separately from the main bacterial genetic code.
What is a PLASMID?
What are organisms from DOMAIN BACTERIA, Kingdom MONERA?
The classification system that categorizes organisms by "created kinds."
What is BARAMINOLOGY?
A type of regeneration that involves the transfer of genetic material from a non-functional donor cell to that of a live recipient cell.
What is transformation?
When a prokaryotic cell stains red.
What is GRAM-NEGATIVE?
