Bacteria and Viruses Flashcards
What is the composition of archaebacteria’s cell wall
NO peptidoglycan
Bacteria that are unable to grow in the presence of oxygen is called…
Obligate anaerobes
Bacteria that can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen
facultative anaerobes
What is the composition of a prokaryotes cell wall
peptidoglycan
Archaea or Bacteria:
Membrane lipids have branched-chains linked to glycerol.
Archaea
Archaea or Bacteria:
Have types of tRNA that are similar to Eukaryotes.
Archaea
Archaea or Bacteria:
Cell walls contain peptidoglycan.
Bacteria
Archaea or Bacteria:
Some are able to reduce carbon dioxide to methane
Archaea
Archaea or Bacteria:
Include Gram-negative bacteria that photosynthesize
Bacteria
Archaea or Bacteria:
More like eukaryotes
Archaea
Archaea or Bacteria:
Cell wall synthesis is inhibited by penicillin.
Bacteria
Archaea or Bacteria:
Membrane lipids have fatty-acid chains linked to glycerol.
Bacteria

pathogen that causes disease in animals by forming a protein clump
prion
rod-shaped bacterium
bacillus
organism that must take in organic molecules for both energy and supply of carbon
chemoheterotroph
a particle of nucleic acid, protein and in some cases, lipids
virus
process in which viral DNA becomes part of a host cells DNA
Lysogenic infection
disease-causing agent
pathogen
spherical bactreium
coccus
process in which a host cell bursts after being invaded by a virus
Lytic function
organism consisting of one cell that lacks a nucleus
prokaryote
process in which a bacterium replicates its DNA and divides in half
binary fission
organism that receives energy from inorganic molecules
chemoautotroph
spore formed by bacteria when growth conditions become unfavorable
endospore
virus that infects bacteria
bacteriophage
viral DNA that is embedded in the hosts DNA
prophage
substance produced by some bacteria that poisons host cells
toxin
preparation of weakened or killed pathogens
vaccine
compound that can destroy bacteria
antibiotic
the larger of the two kingdoms of prokaryotes
eubacteria
