QuestionAnswer
The science of grouping and naming organisms is _____. taxonomy
A step-by-step way to identify an organism using a series of paired descriptions is called a _____. dichotomous key
Animals that are warm blooded, have body hair, and produce milk for their young are in a class called _____. Mammalian
Double naming system introduced by Linnaeus is called _____. binomial nomenclature
Any level of organization in taxonomy is called a taxon.
Round bacteria are called cocci (they live as individual cells or clusters)
Rod shaped bacteria are called bacilli (live as individual cells or chains)
Spiral shaped bacteria are called spirilla
A disease causing organism is called a pathogen
cells that do not have a membrane bound nucleus are prokaryotes
cells that do have a membrane bound bucleus are eukaryotes
organisms that make their own food are called autotrophs
organisms that cannot make their own food and must consume food are called heterotrophs
outer protein coat of a virus is called a caspid
a non-living parasite is called a virus
a cell bursting to release viruses lysis
a virus cycle where virus injects its DNA into a cell, it multiplies and causes the cell to burst releasing many viruses and cell dies is called a ____ cycle. lytic
A virus cycle where virus injects its DNA into a cell, it reproduces slowly, but does not cause the cell to burst and die is called a ___ cycle. lysogenic
An antibotic that causes holes to form in the cell wall of bacteria so that it dies by osmosis is called penicillin
List the seven taxons of the classification system from largest to smallest. Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order - Family - Genus - Species
What are the domains for archaebacteria, eubateria, and how are they alike or different? Archae - unicellular, many members can survive in absense of oxygen, do not have peptidoglycan in their cell walls ; Bacteria - prokaryotes, rigid cell walls that contain peptidoglycan
Which kingdoms have cell walls and what materials make up the cell walls. Eubacteria - Peptidoglycan ; Archaebacteria - no peptidoglycan ; Protista - cellulous ; Fungi - chitin
What kinds of organisms make up the domain Eukarya eukaroyotes
How do you write the scientific name of an organism? Italics, binomial nomenclature; first capitalized (the genus), 2nd lowercased (the species)
Which kingdom is the most diverse? Protista
Basic Structure Bacteria - prokaryotic, cell wall ; Virus - DNA or RNA wrapped in caspid
Size/Shape/ Structure Bacteria - rod, round, spiral ; Virus - various shapes and sizes
Life Processes Bacteria - all processes, reproduce by binary fission or conjugation ; Virus - no life processes except reproduction or digestion
living/ non-living bacteria - LIVING ; virus - NONLIVING
Autotroph/heterotroph bacteria - both but mostly heterotroph ; Virus - neither, non-living
Found bacteria - Almost anywhere ; Virus - living cells
Lytic Cycle Viruses spread by killing living cells
Lysogenic Cycle infects DNA into cells, reproduces slowly, doesn't kill cells
Treatment Bacteria - antibiotics ; Virus - no cures, can be prevented with vaccines
Infects bacteria - on its own ; virus - living cells
distrupts body's normal equilibrium? when? both - yes, when it causes disease
useful for? bacteria - cleaning up oil spills, decomposing dead organisms and wastes, making drugs ; Virus - make some vaccines
Archaebactera - lives in EXTREME environments (oxygen-free; salt water; hot, acidic waters of sulfur springs) - NO PEPTIDOGLYCAN IN CELL WALLS
Eubacteria - a wide array of habitats - peptidoglycan in cell walls
Heterotrophs found everywhere; need organic molecules as energy source, but are not adapted for trapping their food; some live as parasites; some as saprobes (feed on dead organisms or wastes)
Autotrophs Photsynthetic
Cyanobacteria contains a photosynthetic pigment so it can trap the sun's energy, it is common in ponds, streams and moist areas of land
Chemosyntehtic Autotrophs obtain energy from breakdown of inorganic substances such as sulfur and nitrogen compounds
Binary Fission Asexual; the bacterium first copies its single chromosomes, which attach to the cell's plasma membrane. As the cell grows, the copies separate. The cell then divides in two as a partition form sbetween the new cells. Each new cell receives a chromosome co
Conjugation sexual; one bacterium transfers all or part of its chromosome to another cell through a bridgelike structure called a pilus that connects the two cells.
nitrogen fixation certain bacteria convert nitrogen gas into nitrates which can be used by plants
recycling of nutrients bacteria breakdown organic matter in dead organisms and wastes
food and medicines some bacteria produce a variety of molecules that have distinctive flavors or aromas
diseases caused by bacteria tuberculosis, pneumonia, strep throat, staph
Viruses particles of nucleic acid, proteins, and sometimes lipids
Viruses reproduce by infecting living cells
Viruses have one thing in common they enter living cells, then use the cell's machinery to produce more viruses!
The caspid protein bind to receptors on the surface of a cell and " ___ " the cell into allowing it ____. trick, inside
viruses are highly ______ to the cells they infect. plant viruses only infect plant cells, animal viruses infect only certain related species of animals. SPECIFIC
Bacteriophages viruses that infect bacteria
LYTIC INFECTION a virus enters cell, makes copies of itself, and causes the cell to burst.
LYTIC - example the bacteria injects its own DNA directly into the cell, the cell then makes mRNA from the genes of the virus, viral proteins are made which chop up the cell DNA, infected cell shuts down. virus makes copies of itself, before long the host cell LYSES!
LYSOGENIC INFECTION a virus integrates its DNA into the DNA of the host cell, and the viral genetic information replicates along with the host cell's DNA. Lysogenic viruses can remain inactive for a period of time
Prokaryotes; microscopic; unicellular; live in normal environment eubacteria
prokaryotes; unicellular; microscopic; live in EXTREME environments archaebacteria
eukaryotes; unicellular or multicellular; may be plant, animal, or fungus like; live in moist environments; do not have complex organ systems; movement by cilia, falgella, pseudopods protists
eukaryotes; unicellular or multicellular; consumers, heterotrophic, decomposers; absorb nutrients obtained by decomposing dead organisms and wastes; do not move; cell walls made of chitin fungi
eukaryotes; photosynthetic; multicellular; cell walls of cellulose; tissues organised into organs and organ systems; don't move; vascular plants have conducting tissue - roots, stems and leave; non-vascular (mosses + liverworm) live near water,closeground Plants
eukaryotes; consumer; move; multicellular; no cell walls; tissues organized into organs and complex organ systems animals
