| What are the Infectious Agents? | Virus, Bacteria, Prions, Fungi, Helminths, Protozoa |
| What are the functions of cytoplasm? | It holds all the organelles of a cell in place and it can push itself out against the cell membrane to make a pseudopod |
| What's a flagellum used for? | Locomotion |
| What are endospores? | A small, rounded, thickwalled resting cell that forms inside a bacteria when they are in harsh conditions |
| What are harsh conditions for bacteria? | Places that are dry and not warm and wet |
| What does bacteria help with? | Food- make some foods taste good Digestion- aid intestines in digesting food Decomposing- Decompose dead organisms |
| What allows viruses to attach to specific cells? | The protein coat around the virus |
| How small are viruses? | Small even compared to bacteria |
| What's an active virus vs. a hidden virus? | Active- symptoms are apparent immediately Hidden- hide and symptoms come later |
| How are Infectious Diseases spread? | Direct contact, Indirect Contact, Contaminated Objects, Infected Animals, Food, Water, Soil |

| What are examples of fungi-like protists? | Slime molds, Downy molds, Water molds |
| How do fungi reproduce? | Sexually or Asexually |
| Organism | Living things that contain: - cellular organization - similar chemicals - use energy - respond to surroundings - grow and develop - reproduce |
| Unicellular | Single celled organism |
| Multicellular | Many celled organism |
| Autotrophs | Organisms that make their own food |
| Prokaryote | Organisms locking a nucleus. |
| Nucleus | a dense area in the cell that contains nucleic acids, it sends instructions to the cell |
| Conjugation | A process in which one bacterium transfers some of its genetic material into another bacterium through a think threadlike bridge that joins the two cells. |
| Infectious Disease | Illnesses that pass from one organism to another. |
| Cilia | Hair like projections from cells that move with a wavelike motion. |
| Algal Bloom | Rapid growth of population of algae. |
| Fungi | Eukaryotes that have cell walls are heterotrophs that feed by absorbing their food, use spores to reproduce. |
| Budding | A form of asexual reproduction without spores where the child cell grows on the body of the parent and then breaks away to form a new cell. |
| µ | micro (µ m- micro meter) |
