Question
Answer
Why are viruses considered to be nonliving   they are not cells, and viruses don't use energy to grow or to respond to their surroundings.  
🗑
what is th basic structure of a virus   the virus is made up of a outer protein coat and genetic material inside.  
🗑
how do viruses multiply   The genetic material directs the cell to produce the virus's proteins and genetic material. These proteins and genetic material are then assembled into new viruses.  
🗑
what is a virus   A small, nonliving particle that invades and then reproduces inside a living cell  
🗑
what's a host   an organism that provides a source of energy or a suitable environment for a virus or for another organism  
🗑
what are parasites   an organism that lives on or in a host and causes harm to the host  
🗑
what is bacteriophage   A virus that infects Bactria  
🗑
why are Bactria cells different from all other organisms' cells   Bactria are prokaryotes. The genetic material in their cells is not contained in a nuleus.  
🗑
what are the positive roles that bacteria play in people's lives   Bacteria are involved in fuel and food production, environmental recycling and cleanup, and the production of medicines.  
🗑
what is cytoplasm   The region of a cell located inside the cells membrane ( in prokaryotes) or between the cell membrane and nucleus ( in eukaryotes) ; contains a gel-like material and cell organelles  
🗑
what are ribosomes   A tiny structure located in the cytoplasm of a cell where proteins are made  
🗑
what is flagellum   A long, whip like structure that extends out through the cell membrane and cell wall.  
🗑
what is binary fission   A form of asexual reproduction in which one cell divides to from two identical cells.  
🗑
what is asexual reproduction   The reproductive process involves only one parent and produces offspring that a identical to the parent.  
🗑
what is sexual reproduction   The reproductive process that involves two parents who combine their genetic material to produce a new organism, which differs from both parents  
🗑
what is conjugation   The process in which a unicellular organism transfers some of its genetic material to another unicellular organism.  
🗑
what is respiration   the production of offspring that are similar to the parents.  
🗑
what are endospores   A small, round, thick-walled,, resting cell that forms inside a bacterial cell  
🗑
what are decomposers   an organism that breaks down large chemicals from dead organisms into small chemicals and returns important materials to the soil and water.  
🗑
what are the two kingdoms of bacteria.   Archaebacteria and Eubacteria  
🗑
how does bacteria reproduce and survive   when bacteria have plenty of food, the right temperature, and other suitable conditions, they thrive and reproduce frequetly.  
🗑
How do infectious diseases spread from person to person   through contact with either an infected person, a contaminated object , an infected animal, or an environmental soure  
🗑
What is infectious disease   An illness that can pass from one organism to another.  
🗑
what are antibiotics   A chemical that can kill bacteria without harming a person's cells.  
🗑
what is a vaccine   a substance that stimulates the body to produce chemicals that destroy viruses, bacteria, or other disease-causing organism  
🗑
what is toxin   A poison that can harm an organism.  
🗑
how can infectious diseases be treated or prevented   get a vaccine  
🗑
