🗑
4 methods to stop or slow down bacteria growth on food   pastuerization, sterilization, refrigeration, freezing (salting/drying)  
🗑
do bacteria break down their food inside or outside their cells?    
🗑

🗑
role of soil decomposers   to release nutrients for plant growth  
🗑
exotoxins   proteins produced inside gram positive bacteria which produce fever, weakness, and capillary damage  
🗑
endospore   handle a lot of environmental stress  
🗑
how do antibiotics kill bacteria?   damage cell walls, damage cell membranes, prevent protein synthesis, prevent DNA copying, and interfere with bacterial metabolism

🗑


   

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.
