Complete definition of virus
Virus is an infectious agent composed of nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid.

Theophrastus' contribution to the classification system
He observed and classified plants.

Two differences between Domains Archaea and Bacteria
The cell wall of archaea does not have peptidoglycan, while that of the bacteria does. Archaean live in extreme conditions, while Bacteria live in regulated conditions.

The three shapes of bacteria and their descriptions
Coccus (plural: cocci): spherical bacterium
Bacillus (plural: bacilli): rod-shaped bacterium
Spirillum (plural: spirilla): spiral-shaped bacterium

What are pseudopods and which protist has one?
Footlike structures for locomotion, owned by Amoeba

The names of the seven steps of HIV life cycle in order
Binding - Fusion - Reverse Transcription - Integration - Replication - Assembly - Budding

The three kingdoms that were proposed by Carolus Linnaeus
Animals, plants, minerals

Two differences between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria
Gram-negative bacteria: thin peptidoglycan layer between two plasma membranes. Appear pink-red using Gram-staining.
Gram-positive bacteria: thick peptidoglycan layer. Appear purple using Gram-staining.

Definition of antibiotics
Chemicals produced by bacteria or fungi that kill off other bacteria.

The two stages of Giardia lamblia and their descriptions
Trophozoite stage:
Heart shaped with multiple flagella
Infect people from contaminated water, causing diarrhea
Cyst stage:
Rounded, not as active
Found in the feces of the host.

The entire process of transduction
The virus attaches to the host cell and injects its DNA.
The host cell produces proteins and replicates the viral DNA while its own DNA is destroyed.
The viral DNA and proteins will assemble to form new viruses.
Once the host cell is too full of viruses, it will burst, releasing the viral cell to infect other bacterial cell.

The 8 classification groups in order from biggest to smallest
Domain - Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order - Family - Genus - Species
500
The entire process of binary fission
The cell replicates its DNA
The cell elongates
The cell pinches off in the middle
The cell separates into two genetically identical daughter cells.

Four ways to prevent antibiotic resistance
Good hygiene
Only use antibiotics when prescribed by a doctor.
Take the full regimen as prescribed until the medication is completely consumed.
Healthcare providers should prescribe medication to kill more specific bacteria than broad-spectrum antibiotics.

The life cycle of Plasmodium
Reproduce in mosquitos, producing sporozoites that travel into the bloodstream of a person when the mosquito bites.
The sporozoites enter the liver then reproduce asexually to become merozoites.
The merozoites enter the red blood cells then asexually reproduce there, eventually producing gametocytes.
The gametocytes are taken by mosquitoes when they feed the blood of the infected person.
