Parts of Bacteria
This part is seen as little dots within the cytoplasm that produces protein
What is a Ribosome

What is rod-shaped, Bacilli
Most bacteria do not make their own food. What are they called?
What is heterotrophic?
Bacteria consist of how many cells?
What is one. (unicellular)
This part is the strand of genetic material floating around.
What is a Nucleoid or genetic material or DNA
This shape of bacteria appears like a ball.
What is sphere-shaped, Cocci.
These types of bacteria contain chlorophyll and can make their own food.
What are cyanobacteria?
This macro-nutrient is used to make enzymes and hormones. They also help build the major structures of the cell.
What are proteins?
What type of cell do bacteria have?
What is a prokaryotic cell (one without a nucleus)
This part is a whip-like tail that propels the bacterium forward.
What is a flagellum
This shape of bacteria appears like a corkscrew.
What is spiral-shaped, Spirilla
Some bacteria live in really harsh conditions...
Name the type of archaeabacteria that likes to live in a salty environment.
What is a Halophile
This macro-nutrient creates the DNA and RNA that store information for the cell.
What is nucleic acid?
What can be used to kill bacteria?
What are antibiotics?
This part allows the bacterium to share genetic material with other bacteria during conjugation.
What is Pilli.
What are the three most common shapes of bacteria?
What are rods, spheres, and spirals, bacilli, cocci, spirilla.
This macro nutrient is mostly used for energy in the prokaryotic cell. It also can be used for structure.
What are carbohydrates?
This is the outer membrane layer of a bacterium
What is a cell wall. Capsule is accepted too.
A bacterium reproduces by this process.
What is Binary fission
What are the two kingdoms of bacteria?
What are Eubacteria and Archaebacteria.
