a viral reproductive cycle, during which a virus takes over all metabolic activities of a cell and causes the host cell to die

Bacteriophages that ONLY reproduce using the lytic cycle

also known as phages, are viruses that infect and replicate only in bacterial cells

tiny, single-celled organisms that get nutrients from their environments; reproduce - binary fission

made up of only one cell that carries out all of the functions needed by the organism

How prokaryotic cells acquire new genetic material and thus increase the genetic variation in the population; The introduction of new DNA into an existing organism's cell

the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.

Antibiotic resistance

happens when germs like bacteria and fungi develop the ability to defeat the drugs designed to kill them

the building material that gives strength to the exoskeletons of crustaceans, insects, and the cell walls of fungi

the feathery filaments that make up multicellular fungi; They release enzymes and absorb nutrients from a food source. Hyphae have a firm cell wall made of chitin
