Bio DOLT Terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Binary Fission | Exact copies are made of bacteria and can divide quickly if they have sufficient food, warmth and space |
| Conjuction | Transfer of genetic material from one bacterium to another |
| Transduction | Process when DNA is transfered from a bacterium to another by a virus |
| Transformation | Uptake DNA from environment and makes it bacterial DNA and is often shed by other bacteria |
| Anti-biotics | Prevents bulding or repairing of cell wall and/or membrane and kills bacteria or slows its growth as well as disrupt production of genetic material such as DNA and RNA |
| Viruses | Biological particle composed of nucluic acid and protein |
| Latent Period | When the provirus enters a latent stage where the infected cell divides by mitosis and makes copies of the provirus during the Lysogenic cycle |
| Cell Membrane | The fluid inside of a cell that gives life a body |
| Simple diffusion | Small hydrophobic mloecules cross quickly with no ATP required |
| Facilitated diffusion | Small polar molecules that cross slowly with no ATP required but requires transport protein |
| Active Transport | Highly charged and large molecules that require ATP to cross membrane |
| Methanogens | Archaea that live in oxogen free environments |
| Halophiles | Archaea that live in extremely saline environments |
| Thermoacidophiles | Archaea that live in extremely hot and acidic environments |
| Blue or Purple color | Gram Positive |
| Pink color | Gram negative |
| Aerobic bacteria | Needs O2 |
| Anaerobic bacteria | Needs no O2C |
| Cocus | Spherical cell |
| Bacillus | A rod-shaped cell |
| Spirillum | A spiral shaped cell |
| strepho | linear chains of cells |
| diplo | live in pairs of cells |
| starphylo | live in grape like shapes of cells |
| Vertebrate | Animal with a backbone or a notochord |
| Notochord | A flexible rod found in some chordates |
| Chitin | A chemical found in the cell walls |
