Q

lytic VS lysogenic

A

lytic
virus replicates quickly and destroys the host cell
lysogenic
provirus DNA attaches to the chromosome to replicate and pass through generations without harming the host cell
activated by nutrient changes to cause the lytic cycle

heterotroph
consumes other organisms
autotroph
produces its food

28

consumes other organisms for food
contain digesting vacuoles
some can be parasites

29
Q

fungi-like

plant-like

A

makes food by photosynthesis
consumes others if there is no light

Q

parasitic

A

absorbs nutrients from host living cells

32
Q

mutualists

A

gets nutrients from beneficial partnerships

33
Q

structure of fungi
