Bacteria/Viruses
Are bacteria prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Prokaryotic
Most Protist live in what environment?
Moist/ Aquatic
Do fungi make or absorb their food?
Absorb
Plants are autotrophs. What does that mean?
They make their own food.
hat is the whip-like tail some bacteria use to move?
Flagellum
Which kingdom contains common prokaryotes found everywhere?
Eubacteria
Which kingdom lives in extreme environments?
Archaebacteria
Which protist moves using pseudopods?
Amoeba
Fungi are major decomposers. What does that mean?
They break down dead organism?
Animals are heterotrophs. What does that mean?
They must eat to get energy.
During binary fission, what happens?
One bacteria splits into two identical cells
Which kingdom contains extreme environment prokaryotes?
Archaebacteria
Which kingdom contains disease-causing bacteria?
Eubacteria
Which protist moves using cilia?
Paramecium?
The tiny thread-like structures that make up the body of fungi are called what?
Hyphae
What process do plants use to make food?
Photosynthesis
What is the protein coat around a virus called?
Capsid
Why are viruses considered nonliving?
They cannot reproduce or carry out life processes without a host cell.
Are viruses living or nonliving?
Nonliving
Protists that eat other organisms are called what?
Heterotrophs
Fungi often reproduce by releasing what?
Spores
Name Two structures found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
Cell wall / Chloroplasts / Large vacuole
Compare: How do bacteria and viruses differ in how they get energy?
Bacteria perform life processes; viruses must use a host cell.
State one major difference between Archaebacteria and Eubacteria.
Environment OR chemical makeup / cell wall difference
What does a virus need in order to reproduce?
A host cell
Which protist uses chloroplast to make food?
Euglena
What gas does yeast release that causes bread to rise?
Carbon Dioxide
Some plants, like the Venus flytrap, are autotrophs but also capture insects. Explain why they still count as autotrophs and what the insects are used for.
They are still autotrophs because they get their energy from photosynthesis, not from the insects. The insects are captured for extra nutrients (like nitrogen), not energy.
Which one is prevented with vaccines and which one is treated with antibiotics?
Bacteria → Antibiotics
Viruses → Vaccines
Why don’t antibiotics work on viruses?
Antibiotics kill bacteria (living cells); viruses are NOT living cells.
