Unit test 1: Flashcards
Do organisms within the same class have to be in the same order?
No, an animal can be in a different order even if they are the same type of animal
slime layer:
an extracellular material in a bacteria cell (can easily be removed)
capsule:
the outer “envelope” of a bacteria cell
plasmid:
Dna structure
nucleoid:
contains DNA. A nucleus like, irregular shaped region that stores most or all genetic info a prokaryotic cell
flagella:
tail like structure(s) that whip(s) around to propel the bacterium.
prokaryote:
no organelles. 1 circular chromosome
eukaryote:
a multi cellular organism, contains organelles
how does bacteria reproduce?
binary fission (cell division). Where a single cell divides into identical daughter cells and replicates
how do protists reproduce?
binary fission and sexual reproduction (conjugation)
What does the gram stain detect?
it detects the chemical makeup of the cell wallow bacteria. (the cell wall can stain (+) or (-) depending on its chemistry.
where in general do archaebacteria live?
very harsh conditions & extreme environments
reasons bacteria are helpful
they help decompose, antibiotics, ferment foods
lytic cycle:
- entry
- replication
- assembly
- release
- entry:
virus attaches to the cell and pulls DNA (RNA also)
- replication:
the cell starts making parts of the viruses
- assembly:
the assembling of viral particles
- release:
the cell bursts open and dies (due to lack of energy from making virus)
lysogenic cycle:
- injects
- replicate
- enters lytic cycle
- injects
phage DNA injects bacteria
