Question
Answer
Kingdoms of life that are prokaryotes (lack a nucleus)   Bacteria (Eubacteria and Archaebacteria)  
🗑
Kingdom of bacteria that are your common everyday bacteria.   Eubacteria  
🗑
Kingdom of bacteria that are relatives of the first living organisms (live in extreme environments).   Archaebacteria  
🗑
Type of bacteria that have a spherical shape.   Coccus (cocci)  
🗑
Type of bacteria that have a rod shape.   Bacillus (bacilli)  
🗑
Type of bacteria that have a spiral shape.   Spirillum (Spirilli)  
🗑
Type of Gram stain that results in purple cells (peptidoglycan retains stain); antibiotics usually work against this type of bacteria.   Gram positive (+)  
🗑
Type of Gram stain that results in red/pink cells (peptidoglycan doesn't retain stain b/c of outer membrane protection); antibiotics usually DON'T work against this type of bacteria.   Gram negative (-)  
🗑
Type of bacteria that requires oxygen to survive.   Aerobic  
🗑
Type of bacteria that does NOT require oxygen to survive.   Anaerobic  
🗑
Type of asexual reproduction in bacteria; cells copy DNA and split into 2 new identical cells.   Binary Fission  
🗑
Type of bacterial reproduction which transfers genetic material between bacterial cells using a pilus.   Conjugation  
🗑
Type of bacterial reproduction that transfers fragments of DNA from one cell into another cell.   Transformation  
🗑
Type of bacterial reproduction using a virus.   Transduction  
🗑
Medicine used to kill some types of bacteria.   Antibiotics  
🗑
Bacteria can be _____________, heterotrophs, or decomposers.   autotrophs  
🗑
Are bacteria prokaryotes or eukaryotes?   prokaryotes  
🗑
Are bacteria unicellular or multicelluar?   unicellular, though they may form colonies  
🗑
A disease-causing agent (like some bacteria and viruses).   pathogen  
🗑
4 ways in which bacteria can be beneficial.   Lives on us/in us, found in nutrient cycles, bioremediation, food fermentation, genetic research  
🗑
Small circular bits of DNA in a bacterial cell.   plasmids  
🗑
Large, free-floating bacterial DNA.   nucleoid  
🗑
Dormant phase for some types of bacteria. Will become active in favorable conditions.   endospore  
🗑
Type of autotroph which uses light energy to produce carbohydrates.   photoautotroph  
🗑
Type of autotroph which uses chemical compounds to produce energy.   chemoautotroph  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
