A

Plantae, fungi, animilia, Protista, monera.

19
Q

What are the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells

A

Prokaryotic cells are single celled organisms while eukaryotic cells are made up of thousands of cells

20
Q

What are the three types of lifecycles and eukaryotes

A

Lidue, Lysogenic, and viral

21
Q

What is it mean to be “gram-positive or gram-negative”

A

A difference in the composition of the cell walls.

22
Q

What are endospores and how do they differ from spores

A

A cell with any cell of bacteria that are exposed to harsh conditions.

23
Q

List nine diseases caused by bacteria

Anthrax, lime disease, plague, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, peptic ulcers, typhus, and pneumonia

24
Q

How do we use bacteria to our benefit

A

Using bacteria that breaks down oil to speed up the process of stopping oil spills

25
Q

What are dental caries

A

Dense collections of bacteria on the surface of teeth lead to secretion of acids

26
Q

Std

30
Q

What are two ways that viruses can cause disease

A

The Lydic and lysogenic cycles

31
Q

What is the lytic cycle of a bacteriaphage

A

The virus contaminates the host cell begins to multiply. The cell bursts sending the virus to continue the cycle with other cells.

32
Q

List nine diseases caused by viruses

A

AIDS, chickenpox, Ebola, herpes, measles, mumps, influenza, mononucleosis, and polio.

33
Q

What is the action of the HIV virus

A

Enters the cell undetected and changes the DNA. The change in the DNA cause the breakdown of the immune system

34
Q

What is the relationship between Latent viruses and cancer

A

Cancer cannot be cured completely

35
Q

What is nitrogen fixation

A

Creates nitrous spheric compounds that can be used by plants

36
Q

Compare bacteria to eukaryotes

A

Bacteria are usually single celled organism
