Review Module 2

Module 2 Review Exploring Creation with Biology

QuestionAnswer
Plasma membrane Regulates what materials pass into and out of the cell
Flagellum Moves the bacterium from place to place
Capsule Adheres to surfaces and wards off infection-fighting agents
DNA Stores the information needed to make an organism a living thing
Cytoplasm Holds the DNA and ribosomes in place
Cell wall Keeps the interior of the cell together and holds the cell's shape
Fimbria (sex pili) Grasps onto surfaces or another bacterium during conjugation
Ribosome Makes proteins
What is the most common way bacteria obtain food? Most bacteria are heterotrophic decomposers.
A bacterium is a parasite. Is it heterotrophic or autotrophic? heterotrophic
List the basic steps of conjugation in bacteria. donor grasps recipient with pili, conjugation tube is formed between bacteria, one plasmid strand is transferred, during the transfer both bacterium begin to make a duplicate of their DNA strand, tube collapses and each bacterium completes DNA replication
How can bacteria survive dehydration or high temperatures? By forming into an endosperm.
A few bacteria are placed in an environment rich with resources. What type of population growth will occur? Exponential growth
What resources are available when bacteria experience logistic growth? Limited
How does genetic recombination, which results in no offspring, help bacteria? Genetic recombination can help bacteria gain traits needed to survive conditions they would not have otherwise survived.
What type of bacteria are spherical? Coccus
What type of bacteria are rod-shaped? Bacillus
What type of bacteria are helical? Spirillum
A bacterium is heterotrophic and Gram-negative. To what phylum and class does it belong? phylum Gracilicutes, class Scotobacteria
A spirillum bacterium is Gram-positive. To what phylum and class does it belong? phylum Firmicutes, class Thallobacteria
A bacterium has no cell wall. To what phylum and class does it belong. phylum Tenericutes, class Mollicutes
A bacterium lives in boiling-hot water. To what phylum and class does it most likely belong? phylum Mendosicutes, class Archaebacteria
In the six-kingdom classification system, what replaces Kingdom Monera? kingdom Archaebacteria and kingdom Eubacteria
What conditions are ideal for most bacteria? Moisture, moderate temperatures, nutrition, darkness, proper amount of oxygen
What methods can reduce the chance of bacterial contamination in food? Heat food and seal it away from air, Dehydrate, Freeze, Pasteurize, Store in refrigerator
List the basic steps for asexual reproduction. DNA loop attaches to membrane, DNA is copied and attaches to membrane, cell wall elongates separating DNA strands, cell wall and membrane close between DNA strands into separate cells
A bacterium is gram-positive and spherical. To what phylum and class does it belong? phylum Firmicutes, class Firmibacteria
A bacterium is rod-shaped and gram-positive. To what phylum and class does it belong? phylum Firmicutes, class Firmibacteria
To what class does Streptococcus pneumoniae belong? Firmibacteria
Phylum Gracilicutes is separated into three classes by what trait? How the bacteria obtain food
A bacterium produces its food through photosynthesis and does not produce oxygen. To what phylum and class does it belong? phylum Gracilicutes, class Anoxyphotobacteria
A bacterium is photosynthetic and produces oxygen. To what phylum and class does it belong? phylum Gracilicutes, class Oxyphotobacteria
What is another name for cyanobacteria? Blue-green algae
What part of a cell is used for classification purposes? Cell wall
What is another term for asexual reproduction? Binary fission
Name three ways bacteria exchange genetic information. conjugation transformation transduction
What is conjugation? Bacteria link together to exchange circular strands of DNA called plasmids
What is transformation? A bacterium absorbs a segment of DNA from a non-functional bacterium
What is transduction? DNA is transferred from one bacterium to another by a virus
In what two ways do autotrophic bacteria produce their food? Photosynthesis Chemosynthesis
What causes botulism? Clostridium botulinum
What is the genus name of bacteria that are prevalent in eggs and poultry? Salmonella
What color is a gram-negative bacteria after staining? Red (pink)
A bacterium is Gram negative and needs light to survive. It lives in a habitat that is completely oxygen-free. To what phylum and class does it belong? phylum Gracilicutes class Anoxyphotobacteria
A Staphylococcus bacterium is Gram positive and lives in an oxygen-free habitat. To what phylum and class does it belong? phylum Firmicutes class Firmibacteria

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.
