| What do ribosomes in viruses do? | Make protein |
| How do viruses obtain food? | from host cell |
| How do viruses move? | on top of host cell and free swimming. |
| How do viruses reproduce? | injects RNA or DNA into host cell, which makes more and explodes, sending more out to reproduce. |
| How are viruses helpful? | Some viruses kill bacteria like a bacteriophage. |
| What shapes can bacteria come in? | Sphere, rod, spiral |
| how many cells do bacteria have? | one |
| What does the structure of a bacteria have? | cell wall, cytoplasms, no nucleus, non-membrane bound organelles |
| how do bacteria obtain food? | heterotroph and autotroph, chemosynthesis, take in food through cell wall |
| how can bacteria move? | pili, flagellum |

| How are protists helpful to the environment? | part of food chain, helps with oxygen and carbon |
| What is the cell structure of a Fungi? | cell wall made out of chiten, more animal like than plant like, most are multicellular |
| How to fungi obtain food/energy? | heterotrophs, decomposers, hyphae grow into food sources and obsorb nutrients |
| how do Fungi move? | Hyphae grow into the ground and move it. |
| how do fungi reproduce? | Use spores to reproduce asexually, but sexual is when hyphae from two colonies come together |
