Prokaryotic vs Eukaryotic
This type of cell has a nucleus.
Eukaryotic
Put the following in order from biggest to smallest:
virus, animal cell, bacterial cell
animal cell, bacterial cell, virus
Are protists mostly unicellular or multicellular?
Unicellular
Fungi help break down dead material to recycle the nutrients back into the soil. What is this role known as?
Decomposer
This structure in plant cells allows them to perform photosynthesis.
Chloroplast
Cell membrane
Cell wall
Cytoplasm
Ribosomes OR
DNA
Give TWO ways you can prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses.
-Wash hands
-Avoid touching your face
-Stay home/take antibiotics when sick
-Sneeze & cough into your elbow
Are protists eukaryotes or prokaryotes?
Eukaryotes
Which of the following is NOT an example of a fungal infection?
a. yeast infection
b. ringworm
c. athlete’s foot
d. malaria
These tiny structures make proteins in every type of cell.
Ribosomes
These cells are typically smaller and simpler.
Prokaryotic
Why are colds and flus not treated with antibiotics?
Antibiotics only kill bacteria (colds and flus are caused by viruses)
List the 3 places that we discussed where protists can be found.
Soil, water, animals
Explain how fungi are different from plants.
They do not perform photosynthesis; they do not have chloroplast; they are heterotrophs
A newly discovered particle has DNA inside a protein coat and cannot reproduce on its own. What is it?
A virus
This type of cell contains mitochondria.
Eukaryotic
What does a virus inject into a host cell?
Genetic material (DNA or RNA)
Which disease (that we discussed) is caused by a protist?
Malaria or potato famine
Give an example of how fungi can be helpful and an example of how fungi can be harmful.
Helpful- used to make foods/drinks, medicines, decomposers, pest control
Harmful- diseseas like ringworm, athlete's foot, yeast infection, cryptococcus, kills crops, poisonous
A microorganism with a nucleus and a cell wall can be which of these two organisms?
A plant or fungi
Explain where DNA can be found in a eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell.
Eukaryotic- nucleus
Prokaryotic- cytoplasm
Explain how bacteria and viruses reproduce.
Bacteria- copy their DNA then split in half
Viruses- inject DNA into a host cell to replicate
List the 3 methods that protists use to move.
Flagella, cilia, pseudopods
Most fungi have cell walls made from the carbohydrate...
A single-celled organism has a nucleus, moves using cilia, and lives in freshwater. What type of organism is it?
Protist
