Bacteria and Virus
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| antibiotics | medicines used to kill bacteria and other microorganisms |
| bioremediation | the use of bacteria and other microorganisms to change pollutants in soil and water into harmless chemicals |
| cocci | spherical-shaped bacteria |
| consumer | organism that obtains its food from other organisms |
| decomposer | organism that gets energy by breaking down the remains of dead organisms |
| endospores | a bacterium surrounded by a thick,protective membrane |
| binary fission | one type of simple cell division that bacteria use to reproduce |
| host | an organism that supports a parasite |
| lactic acid | type of bacteria that digest the milk sugar lactose |
| lytic cycle | the cycle of infection in which more viruses are prodced and the host cell is destroyed |
| nitrogen fixing | tyoe of bacteria taht consume nitrogen in the air and change it into a form plants can use |
| pathogenic | bacteria that invade a host organism and obtain nutrients from the host's cells |
| prokaryote | a cell that lacks a nucleus |
| spirilla | long, spiral shaped bacteria |
| vaccine | a solution containing a weakened or inactive version of a virus |
| virus | a microscopic particle that invades a cell and often destroys it |
| lytic cycle steps | 1.) attach to a host cell 2.) Inject the viral (bad) DNA 3.) Make more viral DNA (virus factory) 4.) Cell breaks/bursts |
| binary fission steps | 1.) Cell grows 2.) DNA copies 3.) DNA separates 4.) Cell splits |
