viruses

for quiz

QuestionAnswer
virus consists of small piece of nucleic acid and a protein coat, some also have a membrane making it easier to enter the host cell and avoid detection by the immune system, some haev a tail and tail fibers
lytic cycle virus injects its DNA, DNA takes over the cell, cell enzymes, ribsomes, etc., make virus parts, these parts assemble to form a new virus, the cell bursts releasing viruses
lysogenic cycle virus injects DNA into host cell, this DNA incorporates itself into the host's DNA, when the host cell reproduces, it also copies the viral DNA, occasionally the viral DNA separates from the host and the lytic cycle ensues
viral diseases influenza, aids, herpes, common cold, measles, mumps, polio, hepatitus
bacteria most are heterotrophic, reproduce by binary fission, produce endospores when conditions become unfavorable
heterotrophic eats other things
binary fission asexual reproduction where a cell divides in half
endospores a thick spherical structure with a thick outer coat which protects the DNA inside of it, these can lay dormant for years until conditions improve
bacterial characteristics tough cell wall made of glycoproteins, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleic acid in cytoplasm sometimes foundin a ring structure called a plasmid
cocci spherical shape
bacilli rod shaped
spirilla spiral shaped
uses of bacterial yogurt bacteria ("live cultures"), butter, cheese, decomposers in soil, nitrogen fixing bacteria, e. coli in intestine, dill pickles, sour cream
protists 1st eukarya,very diverse kingdom,most unicellular&free living(except for colonial/multicellular forms),fully membranous organelles, most complex on planet,all life functions happen in 1 cell,grouped by nutrition type,intracellular digestion,water excreted
protist groups protizoans (animal like), fungus like, algae (plant like)
protozoans zooflagellates, sarcodines, ciliates, apicomplexans
zooflagellates use flagella for locomotion
sarcodines use pseudopods for locomotion
ciliates (ciliophora) use cilia for locomotion
apicomplexans no self-motility
paramecium; a ciliate food enters through oral groove, from there food swept into gullet, the into mouth pore, outpokets in cytoplasm become food vacuole, waste eliminated through anal pore, excess water removed by contractile vacuoleS
sarcodines amoeba uses pseudopods to move and eat:cytoplasmic streaming enlarges part of the organism & it inches its way along, when 2 pseudopods surround and engulf prey, a food vacuole is formed (phagocytosis, pinocytosis, cyclosis
phagocytosis cell eating
pinocytosis when a cell forms a channel and pulls in large molecules dissolved in liquid, cell drinking
cyclosis how cell circulates, cytoplasm
protists 1st eukarya, super diverse kingdom, most unicellular and free lving (except for colonial and multicellular forms), fully membranous organelles, the individual cells are the most complex cells on the planet, all life functions occur within its one cell
grouped by nutrition type, intracellular digestion, waste is excreted and gas exchanged by diffusion, excess water is removed by the contractile vacuole, reproduce by conjugation and binary fission

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.
