Q

bilateral symetry

A

one sagittal plane devides into two mirrored halves.such
as humans, have left and right sides that are mirror images of each other.As you can
see in Figure 4, bilaterally symmetrical animals also have diff erent dorsal (upper) and
ventral (lower) surfaces as well as an anterior (front) and posterior (back) end.

Q

lytic cycles

A

is when an impatiant virus takesover a cells machinery to start making copies of the viruses genetic material which can be rna or dna and also the viruses protiens to make their protien coat and they will self assemble to form fully functional viruses and since it makes more and more of them it will force the cell to break open and once its breaks open all the viruses are released into the envorment to hack into nearby cells to create more armys.

20
Q

lysogenic cycles

A

is when the viruses sneaks into the cell to keep the host alive,and it combines with the host genetic information so that the host cant tell that its there and then the bacteria continues replicating and the virus follows the bactaria when it replicates and then the virus is np longer quite so that it makes copies of themselves.

21
Q

An example of a lytic cycle

A

T4, which infects E. coli found in the human intestinal tract.

22
Q

an better explanation of lytic cycle

A

With lytic phages, bacterial cells are broken open (lysed) and destroyed after immediate replication of the virion. As soon as the cell is destroyed, the phage progeny can find new hosts to infect.

23
Q

an example of lysogenic cylce

A

An example of a bacteriophage known to follow the lysogenic cycle and the lytic cycle is the phage lambda of E. coli.

24
Q

a better explanation of a lysogenic cylce

A

As the lysogenic cycle allows the host cell to continue to survive and reproduce, the virus is reproduced in all of the cell’s offspring.

25
Q

Diplo

A

means pairs of cells –

26
Q

strepto

A

means chains of cells —-

27
Q

staphylo

A

means cluster of cells when they arent chains but have circle blobs clusterd toghter.

28
Q

cocci

A

singular: coccus) are sphere

Pairs are diplococci

Long chains are streptococci (commonly referred to as strep, as in “He has strep throat.”)

Clusters are staphylococci, (commonly referred to as staph, as in “She has a staph infection.”)

29
Q

baccili

A

(singular: bacillus) are straight and rod-shaped
Pairs are diplobacilli
Long chains are streptobacilli

30
Q

Spirilla

A

(singular: spirillum) or spirochetes are spiral-shaped

31
Q

living characteristics of viruses

A

the ability to reproduce – but only in living host cells – and the ability to mutate.

32
Q

nonliving characteristics of viruses

A

they are not cells, have no cytoplasm or cellular organelles, and carry out no metabolism on their own and therefore must replicate using the host cell’s metabolic machinery.

33
Q

fungis role

A

have the ability to transform nutrients in a way that makes them available for plants.Fungi are important decomposers in most ecosystems.Fungi, as food, play a role in human nutrition in the form of mushrooms, and also as agents of fermentation in the production of bread, cheeses, alcoholic beverages, and numerous other food preparations.providing a food source for other living things.

34
Q

How do bacteria reproduce?

A

Most bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates).

35
Q

largest(diverse)phyla

A

Arthropoda

36
Q

how do unicellers move

A

using cilia(hairlike) and flagella

37
Q

parts of plant

A

roots,stem,leaves

38
Q

what is a coelom

A

is the main body cavity in most animals and is positioned inside the body to surround and contain the digestive tract and other organs. the fluid-filled body cavity of an animal that contains the internal organs (as the heart, lungs, and kidneys)
