Classification of Species
species
An organism that is too small to be seen without magnification
microorganism
This is a tail which help bacteria move
flagella
Examples of this group are kelp, paramecium, and green algae
protists
A tiny package of DNA with a covering of protein
virus
There are six domains: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protists, Plants, ______, and ________.
Animals, Fungi
A single celled microorganism that is single-celled, does not have a nucleus and helps break down dead materials.
bacteria
The name given to the type of bacteria that break down waste and dead organisms to get energy and nutrients.
decomposer
Examples are molds, mushrooms, and yeasts
fungi
The name of the cycle of reproduction for a virus
lytic cycle
The two groups that are used to classify an organism.
This microorganism is not technically alive.
virus
The three types of shapes that bacteria can be.
rods, spheres, and spirals
A single-celled fungus is called this
yeast
The type of acid a virus inserts into a host cell
nucleic acid
The two languages do root words for scientific names usually come from.
Greek and Latin
This group of microorganisms are normally multicellular and decomposers.
fungi
photosynthetic autotrophs get their energy from this
sunlight or sun
Protists are normally single-celled or multicellular?
single-celled
This happens after a virus injects nucleic acid.
The virus detaches and disintegrates OR nucleic acid makes more viruses
The branch of science connected with the classification of organisms.
taxonomy
This is the "oddball" group of microorganisms which have a wide variety of organisms that do not fit well in any other category.
protists
The process which bacteria reproduce
binary fission
The three categories of protists
plant-like, animal-like, fungi-like
Describe the lytic cycle
A virus attaches to the cell, injects nucleic acid, dies, and then inside the cell more copies of virus parts are made, then new viruses are assembled and they burst from the cell.
