Biology Unit 1

QuestionAnswer
Characteristics of Life !. Grow and Develop 2. made of cells 3. adapt/respond 4. obtain and use energy 5. reproduce 6. dna 7. evolve 8. maintain homeostasis
inductive reasoning specific to general
deductive reasoning general to specific
domain archae kingdom archae bacteria
domain bacteria kingdom eubacteria
domain eukarya kingdoms protista, fungi, plantae, and animalia
capsid protein coat surrounding virus
capsomeres protein sub units in capsid
viral envelope derived form host cell membrane, has glycoproteins that bind to receptor molecules on host cell
bacteriophage virus that infects bateria
how an enveloped virus enters host cell by fusion or endocytosis
lytic cycle virus uses cell for productions of more viruses, then kills it
lysogenic cycle virus dna becomes part of host cell dna, cell lives but virus dna is produced during cell dna replication
reverse transcriptase enzyme used in retroviruses to change virus rna to dna
central dogma dna to rna to protein
prokaryotic kingdoms archaebacteria and eubacteria
eukaryotic kingdoms protista, fungi, plantae, and animalia
cell walls made of peptidoglycan eubacteria
cells walls NOT made from peptidoglycan archaebacteria
cells walls made of chitin fungi
cell walls made of cellulose plantae
never has cell walls animalia
positive gram stain reaction purple= cells walls of peptidoglycan
negative gram stain reaction pink= thinner peptidoglycan layer enclosed in two membranes with lipids, make it hard for antibiotics to kill bacteria
plasmids separate sections of dna from main chromosome
prokaryotic reproduction asexual- binary fission
capsule outer layer of bacteria outside of cell wall, protects it
endospore wall formed around bacteria dna, bacterial "hibernation"
biofilm bacteria that join together and communicate with one another
transformation bacteria takes dna from its surroundings
transduction bacteria uses a viral vector to transfer dna from one to the other
conjugation "bacterial sex" two bacteria exchange dna, no offspring produced
photo-autotroph uses light and CO2
chemo-autotroph uses inorganic chemicals and CO2
photo-heterotroph uses light and organic compounds
chemo-heterotroph uses just organic compounds
obligate aerobes have to have oxygen
facultative anaerobes prefer oxygen, but can also ferment
obligate anaerobes only ferment
protozoans animal-like protists, ingestive
algae plant-like protists, photosynthetic
slime molds fungus-like protists, absorptive
hyphae body filaments of fungi, network of hyphae= mycelium
yeast unicellular fungi, produce asexually by budding

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
