Pathogen An organism that causes disease
Saprophyte An organism that feeds on dead matter

Anaerobic organism An organism that does not require oxygen
Steady state A state in which members of a population die as quickly as new members are born

Logistic growth Population growth that is controlled by limited resources
Conjugation A temporary union of two organisms for the purpose of DNA transfer
Plasmid A small, circular section of extra DNA that confers one or more traits to a bacterium and can be reproduced separately from the main bacterial genetic code
Transformation The transfer of a DNA segment from a nonfunctional donor cell to that of a functional recipient cell
Transduction The process in which infection by a virus results in DNA being transferred from one bacterium to another

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
