Bio LAB VOCAB QUIZ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Agar | - natural gelling agent derived from seaweed |
| Algae | - aquatic organisims that photsynthesize in the same manner as land plants. |
| Archaea | - one of the domains highly diverse and abundant group of prokaryotes |
| Photoautrophic | -that carry out photosynthesis by taking energy from the sun converting that into fuel |
| Photsynthetic | -organisms that use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and release oxygen |
| Bacillus | - a genus of Gram positive bacter that is rod-like in shape |
| Bacteria | -Prokaryotes, that have a plasma membrane, ribosome, and DNA |
| Binary Fission | - Asexual reproduction that is done by prokaryotes |
| Brown Algae | -commonly called seaweed -contain chlorophyll, multicellular, - like FUCUS |
| Cellulose | - major structoral component of plant cell walls |
| Cilia | - a form of locomotion that are hair like organelles that extend from the surface of cells |
| Cell Wall | - a protected layer of petidoglycan that bacterias have |
| Chemoautrophic | - make their food through chemosynthetic |
| Chemosynthetic | - producing food (carbs) using inorganic molecules |
| Chlorophyll | - green pigment located in the chloroplast to help with absorbing light to assist the drive of photosynthesis |
| Chloroplasts | - a double membrane caspid where photosynthesis occurs |
| Coccus | - a shape to describe bacteria coccus (sphere-shaped) |
| Colony | - cells descended from one origianl cell |
| Conjugation | - a sexual means of reproduction |
| Cyanobacteria | - algae - primary prodcuers -photosynthetic |
| Diatoms | - photysnthetic, golden-brown algae with a cell wall in two section that are "glass" like, Silica. - important food sources for small heterotrophs |
| Dinoflagellates | - photosynthetic golden-brown algae that have two flagella: one is free and the other one is located in a transcerse groove |
| Endospore | - denatured DNA, that allows bacteria to go dormant until conditions improve |
| Eukarya | - one of the three fundamental domains of life that contain complex cells with membrane bound organelles like fungi, animals, plants, etc. |
| Flagella | - a form of locomotion that look like long hair appendages |
| Golden Brown Algae | - a mix of bacteria and algae - diatoms and dinoflagellates |
| Gram Test | - a gram staing process that helps uncover if the bacteria is gram neg or gram pos - gram pos is purple -gram neg is pink |
| Gram-positive Bacteria | - Bacteria that contains a thick cell wall of petidoglycan - most bacteria is gram pos |
| Gram-negative Bacteria | - Bacteria that contains a cell membrane and a thin cell wall of peptidoglycan |
| Green Algae | - a photosynthetic protist containg chloropyll and chloroplast a & b - unicellular filament (SPIROGOYA), colonies ( Volvox) or multicellular sheets |
| Heterotrophic | -engulfs other organisms for energy (phagocytosis) |
| Pathogen | - an organism that causes disease to a host |
| Peptidoglycan | - a structural polymer that is the cell wall of bacteria |
| Phagocytosis | - cells engulf and digest particles like bacteria or debris |
| Photosynthesis | - Photosynthesis converts massive amount of Sunlight into electrical and then chemical energy. |
| Prokaryote | - a simple, single-celled organism that lacks a distinct nucleus and membrane-bound organelles |
| Protist | - a highly diverse, mostly unicellular, eukaryotic organism that does not fit into the animal, plant, or fungi kingdoms. |
| Protozoans | - a variety of single-celled eukaryotes and often to restrict to hetertrophic organisms |
| Pseudopodia | - a form of locomotion like temporary arm like extensions |
| Pyrenoids | - they are circular bodies that help function as CO2 concentrating mechanisims located in the chloroplast |
| Red Algae | -multicellular photosynthetic protist, filamentous; feathery like with cell walls that contain calcium carbonate |
| Saprophyte | - one of the ways that bacteria is able to gain nutrition by digesting things around them and absorbing them - crucial in decomposition and nutrient cycling |
| Saprotrophic | - a mode of nutrition where organisms, primarily fungi and bacteria, obtain nutrients by secreting digestive enzymes externally onto dead or decaying organic matter |
| Slime Mold | - engulf food through phagocytosis, with flagellated cells at one time |
| Spirillum | - a type of shape to classify bacteria that is spiral like |
| Sporangium | - a reproductive structure that we will see again among fungi that produce many sporangia |
| Symbitotic | - essential interactions between different organisms or species that coexist in the same environment. |
| Zoonotic | infectious diseases that spread from animals to humans, caused by germs like viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi |
