Test 1-Viruses/Fungus/Bacteria

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Virus   a tiny non-living particle that enters and reproduces inside a living cell  
🗑
Bacteriophage   a virus that infects bacteria, which actually means "bacteria eater  
🗑
Host   organism that has been infected by a virus/bacteria and is used as a source of energy  
🗑
Parasite   organisms that live on or in a host and causes harm to the host  
🗑
Mycelia   the furry structure that is produced when the spores germinate  
🗑
Symbiosis   when multiple orgamisms live together in a relationship that benefits both  
🗑
Eukaryote   organisms whose cells contain a nucleus  
🗑
Prokaryote   organisms whose cells lack a nucleus  
🗑
Which is larger, a virus or a cell?   Virus  
🗑
What does a viruses genetic material contain?   instructions for making new viruses  
🗑
How are viruses similar to organisms?   They are able to multiply  
🗑
How are viruses different?   Viruses are not cells and do not use their own energy to grow or to respond to their surroundings. Viruses cannot make food nor take in food. They do not produce a waste product.  
🗑
What basic structure do all viruses share?   All viruses have two basic parts: a protein coat that protects the virus and an inner core made of genetic material.  
🗑
How do active and hidden viruses differ in their quest to multipy?   After entering a cell, an active virus immediately goes into action. The virus's genetic material takes over cell functions and the cell quickly begins to produce the virus's protein and genetic material. Then these parts assemble into new viruses.  
🗑
How do active and hidden viruses differ in their quest to multipy?   In hidden viruses the virus does not appear to affect the cell's functions and may stay inactive for years. Each time the host cell divides, the virus's genetic material is copied along with the host's genetic material.  
🗑
What are the 4 main reasons that biologist consider viruses to be non-living?   1. Viruses are not cells 2. Do not use their own energy to grow or respond to their surroundings 3. Viruses cannot make food nor can they take in food 4. They do not produce a waste product  
🗑
Fungi (do/don't) have a nucleus and therefore are considered (Eukaryotes/Prokaryotes).   Do, Eukaryotes  
🗑


   

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.
