Cells that do not have a nucleus

prokaryotic
A virus, microorganism, or other substance that causes disease

pathogen
a nonliving particle made up of a nucleic acid and a protein coat; it can infect and destroy a cell

virus
Process in which two organisms exchange genetic material

conjugation
Describes a process that requires oxygen

aerobic
Describes a process that does not require oxygen

anaerobic
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome

AIDS
Tuberculosis; dental cavities; strep throat; acne; anthrax; bubonic plague; etc.
bacterial diseases
a virus that infects bacteria

bacteriophage
Cells that have a nucleus

eukaryotic
Deliberate exposure of people to biological toxins or pathogens
biowarfare
a bacterium that is shaped like a rod

bacillus
a protein to which carbohydrate molecules are attached

glycoprotein
When bacteria aren’t killed by antibiotics because of a mutation that allows to survive

antibiotic resistance
Chemical that interfere with life processes in bacteria

antibiotic
Do not metabolize; do not reproduce; no homeostasis

viruses not alive
a bacterium that is shaped like a spiral

spirillum
Bacteria are prokaryotes; eukaryote cells are larger; bacteria are single cells; bacterial cells circular; bacteria reproduce by binary fission
bacteria different eukaryotes
Thick-wall around bacterial chromosomes that protect them from harsh conditions

endospore
Viral replication is when a virus's DNA is copied as a provirus without destroying the cell

lysogenic cycle
Viral DNA that is inserted into the chromosome of the cell that has been attacked by a virus during the lysogenic cycle
provirus
a membrane like layer that covers the protein coat (capsid) of some viruses

envelope
Viral replication that results in the killing of the cell that the virus attacks

lytic cycle
Process food; make medicines; mining; clean up oil spills

uses of bacteria
a short, thick structure that allows a bacterium to attach to another bacterium

pili
Photosynthetic bacteria; chemoautotrophs; heterotrophic bacteria
ways to get energy
Protective gel-like layer outside the cell wall and membrane that helps protect bacteria from the immune system

capsule
a protein coat that surrounds the nucleic acid core in a virus

capsid
Small pox; chicken pox; hepatitis; influenza; polio; common cold; mumps; etc.
