Virus and Bacteria Review

        Help!  

Question
Answer
capsid   part of virus made of protein, outside coat  
🗑
core   inside part of virus that is made of nucleic acid  
🗑
nucleic acid   genetic material, DNA or RNA  
🗑
Lytic and Lysogenic cylce   cylce that viruses use to replicate  
🗑
envelope   an extra protective coating that some virus have on the outside of the capsid  
🗑
spikes or tail fibers   part of a virus that helps it attach to the host cell  
🗑
host cell   cell that a virus infects (can be any living thing)  
🗑
vaccine   weakened form of a virus that is injected into an organisms to help build immunity  
🗑
bacteria   living organisms that is unicellular, prokaryotic, and can be a producer or consumer  
🗑
Archaebacteria and Eubacteria   the two kingdoms of Bacteria  
🗑
unicellular   made of only one cell  
🗑
multicellular   made of more than one cell  
🗑
prokaryotic   does not have a nucleus or membrane bound organelles, bacteria ONLY  
🗑
eukaryotic   has a nucleus  
🗑
endospore   extra protective coat that forms around a bacteria when they are in harsh conditions  
🗑
Archaebacteria   bacteria that live in extreme conditions  
🗑
Eubacteria   bacteria that live in common environments, like strep throat  
🗑
Nitrogen Fixation   a benefit of bacteria, they live on the roots of plants and help them absorb nutrients  
🗑
Benefits of bacteria   food, medicine, nitrogen fixation, decomposers  
🗑
True or False, bacteria have a cell wall   TRUE  
🗑
True or False, viruses are living   False- they need a host to replicate  
🗑
True or False, flagella help a bacteria to move   True, a flagella is a long whiplike structure used to move.  
🗑
True or False, bacteria and viruses have nucleic acid   True, both have DNA or RNA  
🗑
Antibiotic   medicine taken to kill bacteria, is NOT affective in getting rid of a virus  
🗑
Lytic Cycle   replication cycle of virus, take over host immediately. (cold, flu, etc)  
🗑
Lysogenic Cycle   replication cycle of virus, contains a provirus that hides in the host until stimulated to take over and use the host cell to replicate (HIV, chicken pox)  
🗑
provirus   part of the virus DNA that inserts itself into the host DNA and replicates when the host replicates. Part of the lysogenic cycle  
🗑
Can bacteria reproduce sexually and asexually   YES, binary fission (asexual) and conjugation (sexual)  
🗑
prion   type of virus that only contains protein in the core (instead of the usual RNA or DNA core)  
🗑
retrovirus   a type of virus, such as HIV, that contains a RNA core that replicates from RNA to DNA (instead of the usual DNA to RNA)  
🗑
viroid   a virus that only infects plants that is made of pure RNA, no protein  
🗑
vaccine   a injection of a weakened form of a virus that enables the organism injected to build up immunity  
🗑
type of virus cycle that the common cold and the flu follow   Lytic Cycle, you know immediately when you have the flu or cold and your body can immediately start to fight back.  
🗑
type of virus cycle that HIV follows   Lysogenic Cycle, HIV can remain dormant in your cells until stimulated, then all cells rupture at the same time letting out too many viruses for your body to combat  
🗑
are viruses living or non-living   Non-living, they must have a host to replicate.  
🗑
2 main parts of every virus   Core and capsid  
🗑
material that is usually found in the core   DNA or RNA  
🗑
material that the capsid is usually made of   protein  
🗑
bacteriophage   a virus that infects a bacteria cell  
🗑
extra coating on some animal viruses that adds extra protection to the virus   envelope  
🗑
function of spikes on some viruses   to help attach to the host cell  
🗑
order the following in the correct order for the lytic cycle: entry, attach, release, assembly, replicate   Attach, Entry, Replicate, Assembly, Release  
🗑
order the following in the correct order for the lysogenic cycle: entry, attach, release, assembly, replicate, provirus formation, cell division   Attach, Entry, Provirus formation, cell division, replication, assembly, release  
🗑
heterotroph   organisms that can not make its own food and must consume it instead.  
🗑
autotroph   organisms that can automatically make their own food (plants can perform photosynthesis)  
🗑
archabacteria   prokaryotic, unicellular organisms that live in extreme environments  
🗑
eubacteria   prokaryotic, unicellular organisms that live in common environments  
🗑
binary fission   asexual reproduction in bacteria, chromosomes are replicated and the cell divides  
🗑
conjugation   sexual bacteria reproduction, process of exchanging genetic material through cell to cell contact  
🗑
3 good uses of bacteria   decomposers, nitrogen fixation in plants, used in food & medicine  
🗑
what bacteria and viruses have in common   they can both be pathogens(cause disease)  
🗑
pathogen   something that causes a disease or illness  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
