How would you classify thermophiles, halophiles, acidophiles, and methanogens 

Archaea 

100

What part of a virus has a protein coat 

Capsid 

100

Most bacteria will reproduce asexually; this is by what method?

Binary Fission 

100

Anything that can cause disease is considered a what 

pathogen 

200

How would you describe bacteria in the shapes of sphere, spiral, and rods? (in that order...)

Coccus, Spirillum, and Bacillus 

200
Abnormal proteins can misfold and cause awful diseases like Creutzfeldt - Jakob disease. What are these called 
Prions 
200

Bacteria can use viruses to exchange genetic material. Many times this comes in the form of using a bacteriophage. This process of genetic transfer from one bacteria to another through a virus is called what 

Transduction

A patient came into the ER looking for help for her stomach bug. She received medicine and seemed better, but days later she came by with a sore throat. What kind of pathogen is this 

Opportunistic Pathogen 

300

What kind of bacteria will catch stains like methylene blue

Gram positive 

300

Viruses tend to make people pretty sick. What cycle might explain this 

Lytic cycle

300

Bacteria can be stingy at times. They often will pick up strands of DNA floating in the world. What is this method of genetic transfer called 

Transformation 

300

A common medical condition is Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. A lot of times these bacteria are found in moist environments. They appear to be blue ish green at times. What kind of bacteria is this? What quality do these bacteria possess?

This is a Cyanobacteria 

(autotrophic)

400
Drugs like penicillin are useful because they attack what in bacteria 
Virulence Factors
400

Some viruses can lay dormant, this is likely due to what cycle 

Lysogenic cycle
400

Bacteria are organisms too. They survive and advance just like others. The organisms will share DNA that is helpful to others to survive. They share by way of a pilus. What is this method of genetic transfer called?

Conjugation 

400
The lysogenic cycle is very prevalent in the world of disease. This is seen in many viruses such as what?

HIV

Herpes 

Varicella 

500

what are the three virulence factors you learned about 

Capsule

Nucleoid

Flagellum 

500

You recently picked up immunology in the summer. In your studies you learned about a virus that destroys T cell in the body. This virus has a special enzyme that lets the virus replicate in a different way than normal. What is this enzyme 

Reverse Transcriptase 

500

While bacteria love to help each other out, its not always beneficial for both parties. How many trades of genetic information will there be in conjugation?

one

(DNA is only exchanged in one direction, and not swapped)

Your sibling got the flu. He says that it hurt really bad and that he might not be able to go through that again. Months later he got it again, yet he said he feels like its not as bad. What protein might be responsible for him feeling better?

Interferon
